Back to the League as Gillingham Host Chesterfield

Yoosof FarahDec 5, 2008

After their brilliant performance in the FA Cup last weekend, it's back to the Coca Cola League Two for Gillingham, as they welcome Chesterfield to the KRBS Priestfield stadium.

Mark Stimson's Gills side currently sit ninth in the league table, three places above Chesterfield, who are in 12th.

For Gillingham, home form has been the key their success so far, as they have the second best defensive record in England, conceding just four at home, and going eight games unbeaten at "Fortress" Priestfield. It will be this form that manager Mark Stimson will hope get Gills the win, and hopefully move up into a play-off place.

Chesterfield will also be looking for the win however, and will want to improve on their slightly patchy away form this season. On their travels so far, Chesterfield have won three and lost four, and are averaging two goals a game away from home. They will look to star striker Jamie Ward for goals, as he is currently joint top-scorer in League Two.
