JBG obviously felt our pain, so he put Burnley 1 up against the Nigels

Hit it across the keeper Chuks.

And there I was looking at the fixtures thinking we could go on a run, seeing as we have all the bottom half teams to play until Easter

Deji is all over the place

Off the bar from Chuks.

Is it going to be one of those days?

I'm expecting complete Charlton domination of this game but Jill scores a second after a long-range shot is deflected off some of Steve Evans' crumbs.

Akinde shrugs off Deji and wins a corner from our right.

We will go on that run....from next week!

Can't think of a worse side to go a goal down to.

This is going to be a looong afternoon.

FFS what it is it 38 games since we came back from 1-0 down and won

That centre back we did not need to buy in January??

Should have been scouring the free agents list for CBs following the cap decision

Riding our luck.

Erk, goalmouth scramble but the ball's cleared, although not v far so Gillingham are on the attack again.

I honestly do not believe this team has a "run" in them, I can see us stumbling along winning one, losing one , drawing one etc. Nothing jumps out at me to show a winning streak is coming.

Did it at their place too. Nicked a point though.

I love Oshilaja, but he looks like a liability so far today

8' 0-1 Dempsey's corner is a beauty from the left. Looks like Akinde gets a touch in front of the keeper who makes a point blank save. #Gills

10' 0-1 An explosive start at The Valley! Lee finds the net in the first 37 seconds following excellent work from Akinde. Charlton had a half chance when a forward went around Bonham but didn't have the angle to shoot. A follow up effort struck the bar. #Gills

Oshilaja really struggling. Shame as he was on a good run of games 

mendonca

We are going to make their two lumps look dangerous as heck

iaitch

There's a team in Surrey who atre doing worse than us and are 2 down.

Lordflashheart

In fairness, their defence looks as crap as ours !!

golfaddick

Our crossing is awful as usual. Get to the byline ffs ! Its easy for a defender to defend a ball coming in from the angle of the box 

mendonca

There are chances to be had here. It's Gillingham not bloody Maldini's Italy in blue.
