Gary (Gills Stats)

Very proud to have contributed to this and I still don't own a copy of volume 1! Thank you @BradGalinson and @ShannonGalinson for making this happen. Merry Christmas everyone.

Between December and February, Accrington won 4 of the 7 away games they played. Since then, they have not won on the road in 3 attempts, losing 2 of them and failing to score in the most recent 2.

After a spell of 11 wins from 18 games in all competitions, Accrington had since been winless in the 8 games played before winning at home on Good Friday. They had lost 6 of those 8 games including the 3 before their 2-0 win against Crewe in their last game.

Accrington won this fixture last season after the Gills won the previous meeting between the sides at Priestfield. The Gills have won 2 of the previous 7 home games against Accrington and failed to score in 3 of them however they did keep 4 clean sheets.

Accrington Stanley have not scored a first half goal in the last 5 games and have only managed 2 goals before half time in the previous 11 matches. The Gills have only scored 1 first half goal in their previous 11 matches.

With 40 goals scored (3 teams scored fewer) and 44 conceded (5 teams conceded fewer), the 84 goals in Accrington's League 2 games is the fewest amount in the division.

60.0% of all of Accrington's goals in League 2 have given them a lead, the highest proportion in the division.

The Gills have won 11 of the 23 meetings whilst Accrington have won 6. The Gills are winless in 4 meetings, drawing the most recent 2, after winning 3 in a row between March 2022 and January 2024.

@GlennMorris83 won 2 fouls in the game at Walsall and also won 3 in the home game against them meaning that 5 of the 9 fouls he has won this season were by the Saddlers. Turner has won 7 making it 16 fouls won by @TheGillsFC keepers vs 9 last season and just 5 the season before

The Gills draw at Walsall avoided it being 6 consecutive defeats in all competitions for the first time since December 2021. In only league games, 6 consecutive league losses last occurred back in October 2004.

The Gills drew at the Bescot last season, ending a sequence of 3 consecutive defeats there since their last win away at Walsall - a 1-0 win back in November 2017.

Walsall began the season with 17 league & cup wins from their first 29 games and have followed that up with 4 wins from the 20 since. The Gills started the season with 7 wins in their opening 11 games in all competitions and have followed them with 5 wins from the 33 since.

Walsall are unbeaten in their last 2 home league games, winning their previous home game following 8 (including 5 blank sheets) without one. They had lost 4 in a row at home before the recent 2 unbeaten matches. Walsall have won 3 and lost 7 of their previous 14 home league games

In the first half of the season, Walsall had been behind the least amount (338 minutes), an average of 14.7 minutes for each of the 23 games. Since then, they have been behind for 350 minutes in their 17 games whilst the Gills have been behind the most, 588 minutes in 16 games.

The Gills have won 48 of the matches against Walsall and lost 47 of them and only 28 of the 123 meetings have been drawn (3 of those draws have come in the last 4 games between the sides). The Gills are unbeaten in 4 after winning the reverse fixture.

The Gills have conceded 16 goals in the last 5 games, as many goals conceded as the total from their opening 16 league and cup games of the season. 11 of the 16 have been second half goals, as many goals conceded after half time as in their opening 19 games in all competitions.

The Gills have lost 5 consecutive games, something that occurred once in 24/5 & once in 22/3 (2 cup games). During the 21/2 relegation season, the Gills lost 6 in a row (1 cup game) - defeats that included a 1-5 loss, two 0-2s & a 1-2 that have also occurred in this current run.

Ronan Hale's opening goal against Bristol Rovers ended a run that had seen the Gills opponent's score 8 goals without reply. It is the only goal scored in 4 games and the opposition had scored 12 of the previous 13 goals and 17 of the previous 19 goals in Gills games.

The 5 seasons in-between 2019/20 and this season saw the following number of offsides as the most in any of the games for the opposition. 5 5 6 5 and 4

In the game against Bristol Rovers, the Gills were caught offside 6 times - the joint highest amount for them in any league or cup game this season. Rovers were caught offside 7 times themselves in that match, the highest amount since Sunderland (8) in November 2019.

The Gills won 4 consecutive games in August but have managed no more than 2 in a row since. They've lost 3 or more in a row 3 times. Bristol Rovers made it 4 in a row for the 1st time since the start of Coleman's tenure (Jan 25) & Crawley 5 in a row for the 1st time since Oct 24.
