Re: Gillingham match
 

I thought we'd cancelled each other out for 55 mins, then their first substitution seemed to cause them to pull our till-then competant defence all over the place. The goal was only a matter of time and Kenny played a blinder. As a southern based Accy lad I don't get to see Stanley too many times a season - very impressed with Phil Edwards in particular - but attack looked toothless with only Mullers backpost miss to cause them any concern in the 90 minutes. I'd hoped Fola would come on for a midfielder to 'jiggle the marbles' up front, but what do I know. Gill's fan I was chatting with on the station reckoned the handball the ref missed first half should have been a stonewall pen to us - but no complaints about overall result.

How did Mr.Miles play?

Didn't make an particular impact (but wasn't alone)- neither did he cause any difficulties.

Extract from a Gill's supporter's piece:

"Anyone old enough to remember the .............. scouser kid in the late 1980’s milk advert “Accrington Stanley - who are they? Exactly!” probably never thought the Gills would be playing them in a League game at Priestfield twenty years later. 47 years after we last beat them 5-1 (on 2nd December 1961, a result later expunged as Stanley withdrew in March from Division Four) we found ourselves facing a club that had eventually reformed and gradually edged their way back up the pyramid before rejoining the League two seasons ago. Four years ago we were winning 2-1 at Burnley to go 10th in the Championship with Sunderland next on our fixture list, Stanley were fresh from beating Crawley in the Conference.

Nothing illustrates our dramatic fall from grace (and the heart-warming progress at Accrington) more than our meeting - with the Gills chasing a first home goal, win and point this season, not to mention revenge for the last meeting to stand which saw a 3-0 loss in Lancashire back on Monday 12th September 1960…

............... how it only ended up 1-0 only the Gillingham strikers and the Stanley keeper Arthur could tell you. Stanley had two great shouts for penalties for handball, one looked blatant, and headed a late chance wide"
