Views from the Match Thread ahead of kick-off:
Spinimp: “I dare not say this is a must-win, because obviously, it isn’t. However, it does feel like we need to win this to get back on track! A loss would probably see us out of the top 2 by tomorrow.
Its a cliché I know but these are the games we should be winning if we want promotion.”
Luke Imp: “We don’t do too well against Evans sides do we? It always feels like we struggle to score against them and they pinch a goal.
On the plus side, our performance can’t be any worse than our last visit there!”
simes69: “Gills have hit some form recently, which is bad timing for us. I’m also worried about the pitch and our fitness from Tuesday. Hopefully, it will all come together on the night though.”
