Despite an indifferent start to the season for Gillingham, none of our jurors feel Andy Hessenthaler's side will get beaten at Bury on Saturday.
Two of the three Gills fans are predicting an away win while the other thinks the game will end in a draw. Our guest from Bury, Hanah Ingram, also thinks the match will be all-square.
Here's what our panel of fans had to say:
JIM STAPLES
(Greenwich)
"The draw at Morecombe in our last league game continued the solid start to life away from Priestfield this season.
"Bury will represent another strong test as they’ve been there or there abouts in terms of the League 2 play-offs for a couple of seasons now,
so I’d settle for a point going into the game.
"We seem to be creating chances at the moment and while that first win has so far proved elusive, it’s a good sign that we are troubling defences on our travels.
"I’m determined to stay positive so if Akinfenwa (pictured) and Cody McDonald can form a decent partnership up top – as I’m confident they will given time – it will only a matter of time before the whole team clicks. This weekend might prove too soon for that hence the reason I’m going for a draw."
Prediction: Bury 2 Gillingham 2
SAM LIVINGSTONE
(Pangbourne)
"It has been a disappointing start for Gillingham, even more so with the penalty shoot-out defeat to Southend on Tuesday and the Cody McDonald (pictured) injury.
"However, I think that our defence has been strong this season and will only improve now that we have Fuller back.
"Our midfield is combative, winning 50/50s with Spiller and Payne and with Akinfenwa rested, I feel he will knock a couple of goals in and we will win 2-0."
Prediction: Bury 0 Gillingham 2
ALEX SARSON
(Wellingborough)
"Although the JPT was never high on the agenda, it was a disappointment to go out on penalties (pictured). It will be important to make sure the heads of players don’t drop going into the game at Bury.
"Gigg Lane provides another opportunity in the North West to get rid of our away day problems.
"It is once again important that we get this dealt with as soon as possible and it continuing to hang over us and being mentioned during the commentary of every set of highlights is not good.
"A win is also needed, regardless of the fixture being away."
Prediction: Bury 0 Gillingham 1
and not forgetting...
BURY FAN
Hannah Ingram
"We’ve brought in so many new faces at the start of the season and part of me thinks they are just gelling and part of me thinks it will take
just one more game and we’ll be there.
"At the moment we’re just lacking the killer instinct to win games. We can get ahead but we’ve not been able to finish teams off.
"I think Gillingham will be a tough cookie to crack and after seeing the games between the sides last time, I know it will be tough.
"The key man for us will be Andy Haworth – he’s really caught my eye."
Prediction: Bury 1 Gillingham 1
