00:00 Another draw for Gillingham, just one win in the last seven. Is this something that
00:04 fans should be concerned about?
00:06 Possibly, although if you look at the league table after last night,
00:10 Gillingham now move up from where they were in 12th to 8th. That's just one place and one point
00:16 off of the promotion playoff places, which is where they're aiming to be by the end of the season.
00:21 In terms of fans being upset, well there will be some disappointment among them.
00:26 Many will expect them to have scored something at home. It's actually the first time that Gilles
00:31 haven't scored at home since all the way back to Boxing Day. So yeah, they've had a pretty good
00:36 strong showing at home this side of the new year. Last night, not so much. Then again, Stockport,
00:41 they are the league leaders at the moment. They have the strongest goal scoring record. And I mean,
00:47 all you have to do is hear from Stephen Clements. We can hear from him in just a second.
00:51 He was singing his team's praises too.
00:56 It's a very difficult game. They're the top scorers in the division. So we knew it was going
01:00 to have to be spot on defensively today. And they tested us at times, but I don't really think they
01:06 threatened us too much. We only had one or two shots. Yeah, we didn't create enough ourselves.
01:10 But I thought we were much better in the second half than the first.
01:15 And yeah, we take the point and we move on. That's a good point there today.
01:20 The point at home to Swindon, probably last week when you get done in the 94th minute,
01:25 is a bad point. But that's a good point.
01:27 But of course, next for Gillingham, as you mentioned, is Wrexham this Saturday at
01:32 Priestfield. Another high flying side. So hopefully for fans, they'll see a bit more
01:36 than just a goal. And we've also been hearing about Neil Harris, former Gillingham boss,
01:41 potentially making a return not to Gillingham, but to his former club Millwall. What more can
01:46 you tell us about this? Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? These are the reports that are coming
01:49 out today returning to not just where he's previously managed, but also played. He is,
01:53 of course, their highest ever record scoring striker at the side. So going back will be a
01:58 bit of a homecoming for him. But really, it was only a few months ago I was sitting on this sofa
02:02 telling you about Neil Harris, his sides playing at Gillingham, then of course, being sacked,
02:08 moving on to Cambridge United, where he's had a couple of really good strong results there.
02:12 But moving back up to the championship, I mean, it just raises the question, did Gillingham get
02:17 rid of him too soon? Of course, it's one thing to dwell on the past, isn't it? And they can only
02:23 stick with who they've got now. But an interesting thought.
