Bees v Gillingham

Brentford will try to secure their second League double of the season at GP tomorrow.

Gillingham are in town in what is bound to be another feisty affair following on from the 1-0 Bees win at The Priestfield on Boxing Day where once again both teams finished with 10 men.

Last season the game at Gillingham finished 1-1 and ten a side and in the post-match fall-out, Andy Scott was accused by Gills manager Mark Stimpson of telling tales to the FA in order to get Garry Richards retrospectively banned.  Since then AS has offered his hand to Stimpson after the final whistle but has been rebuffed.

Anyway, it all adds a bit of spice to the game and with the away allocation being sold-out, there should be a decent atmosphere inside Griffin Park tomorrow.

The loan signings we've madel over the past couple of weeks have created a realy positive feeling amongst the fans and three more points tomorrow will have people starting to believe that a push for the play-offs isn't beyond us.

After a difficult start to life back in League One I'm happy to see us sitting 10th in the table, and three points tomorrow will edge us closer to the magic 52 points touted as the total we need for survival.
