Gillingham Aim to Replicate FA Cup Success

Gillingham will aim to replicate their success from the 1st round of the FA Cup when they take on Bury in a re-match at Gigg Lane on Saturday, in Coca Cola League Two.

Since that win over Bury two weeks ago Gillingham have been in fine form, extending their winning run to three games with the 4-0 home win over Rotherham United, pushing the Gills up to seventh in the League Two table.

After making a fantastic start to the season, Bury have slipped off the pace and have slid down to ninth in the table. They're on a bit of a losing streak at the moment, having lost their last five games in all competitions at home, following up the FA Cup loss to Gillingham with a 0-2 home defeat by Grimsby Town.

Gillingham

There seems to be no real injury worries for manager Mark Stimson, as after key strikers Simeon Jackson and Mark McCammon returned from injury last week against Rotherham, Gary Mulligan (virus), Curtis Weston (hip), and Andrew Barcham (head injury) all return from injury and are available for the trip to Bury.

The only likely absentee is Dennis Oli, who despite making good progress in his recovery from a foot injury, will not be fit enough in time for the visit to Bury.

Bury

Bury manager Alan Knill will have the luxury of a full strength squad when his side host Gillingham this weekend, after coming through last weekend's defeat at the hands of Grimsby with no injury concerns.

There will one change in the side however, as striker Chris O'Grady will leave the team and return to Oldham Athletic after his one-month loan deal has expired.

So after Gillingham winning in their last three games, and Bury losing their last five home games, can Gillingham replicate the success they achieved in the FA Cup 1st round, and once again beat Bury at Gigg Lane?
