Boab 73 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Gillingham defender John Nutter believes his side have a score to settle with Shrewsbury in Saturday's League Two play-off final. Shrewsbury beat the Gills 7-0 back in September and also came back from 2-0 down in the return fixture to draw 2-2. "It's in the back of the mind as ammo and we'll make sure it doesn't happen again. We owe them one, so hopefully we can get one over them," said Nutter. Shrews boss Paul Simpson said: "We must do all we can to achieve promotion." The Gills were relegated from League One last season and made a poor start to the season, epitomised by that seven-goal hammering at the Prostar Stadium, but an impressive second half of this season saw them catapulted into the promotion picture. The Kent club lost only six matches after the turn of the year and left-back Nutter hopes such form will be rewarded at Wembley. "I think we deserve to go up, especially from the second half of the season," said Nutter. "I think we've been one of the best sides in the division so, if we do our jobs properly and stay focused on our game, then we've got a great chance to get back to League One." BBC Sport's Paul Fletcher Gillingham boss Mark Stimson has no new injury worries ahead of the final and may have midfielder Adam Miller back after having missed the 2-1 aggregate play-off semi-final victory over Rochdale through injury. Mark McCammon is also pushing for a recall having come off the bench in both legs of the semi-final. In contrast, Shrewsbury manager Simpson is forced to make a couple of changes to his side with striker Dave Hibbert set to miss out after having injections in his foot and Steven Leslie beginning a three-game ban after his sending off in the second leg of their 4-3 penalty shoot-out win over Bury in the semi-final. Long-term injury victim Mike Jackson (knee) also misses out. Simpson though has great faith in the players at his disposal, who gave their all to claim the final play-off berth on the last day of the regular season. They then fought the odds against Bury in the semi-final to reverse a 1-0 deficit from the first leg and then hold their opponents at bay in extra-time with only 10 men. "The preparations have been great leading up to it," said Simpson. "We're missing Jackson and Hibbert, and Leslie's suspended, but everybody else is really up for it. "Everybody wants to be involved and I have to say they've done everything they possibly can to make it difficult for me to pick a 16 out of it." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/e...v_3/8048284.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 By Paul Fletcher BBC Sport at Wembley Striker Simeon Jackson scored the only goal with a late header as Gillingham dramatically won the League Two play-off final at Wembley. The match appeared to be heading for extra-time before Jackson's 90th minute finish from Josh Wright's corner settled the tie in his team's favour. Shrewsbury had come into the match in the second half after a disappointing opening 45 minutes and should have scored through Kevin McIntyre but he headed wide from six yards, while Ben Davies had a volley saved. And their failure to convert their chances was punished when Gills top scorer Jackson struck to ensure that the Gills return straight back to League One. Gills boss Mark Stimson has rebuilt his side since taking over as manager in November 2007 and promotion is vindication of his methods after he failed to prevent them from slipping to relegation last season. It might have been a different story if Shrewsbury had taken the lead inside the first minute, but Gills skipper Barry Fuller ended a moment of panic by smashing the loose ball clear from eight yards before his own keeper or anybody from the opposition could reach it. The opening half hour was largely disappointing, and neither team managed a shot on target until John Nutter's sweet 14-yard left-foot strike forced Luke Daniels into action after 31 minutes. Gillingham, unchanged from the team that defeated Rochdale in their semi-final tie, were the far better side before the break, with the likes of Curtis Weston, Dennis Oli and Barcham showing a willingness to run at the opposition. Stimson's side often worked the ball forward with some style but frequently disappointed with the quality of their crossing. However, Graham Coughlan and Darren Moss both had to make hasty clearances from balls swung in from the right, while Wright shot over from 20 yards after a corner was half cleared. The Shrews looked nervous and struggled to retain possession - and by the break had only a Davies free-kick that drifted wide of the post to show for their efforts. In fact, they might have conceded in injury-time after Wright drilled a low shot across goal through a cluster of players but Daniels made a sharp save diving low to his right. The pattern looked set to continue after the break, with Barcham turning his marker inside and out before forcing Daniels to make a decent one-handed save with a strike from a tight angle. But the Shrews fired a warning to their opponents through Davies, who pounced on a misdirected defensive header from the otherwise excellent Simon King and forced Simon Royce into action with a rasping volley. The Shropshire team grew in confidence and for the first time in the match Shrewsbury had a sustained spell of possession. McIntyre ought to have given them the lead but headed wide from inside the six-yard box. It was an awful miss from the 28-year-old midfielder but at least his team were starting to show some attacking threat. In contrast with the drab opening half, the final had finally become a contest, with both sides enjoys periods in the ascendancy. The largely peripheral Jackson miscued for the Gills, while Davies was played clean through for Shrewsbury but could not quite get his shot off under pressure. Shrews boss Paul Simpson brought on David Worrall and Omer Riza as his team looked for the opening goal but as time ticked down, there seemed to be little prospect of a decisive finish from either side before Jackson, who had otherwise had a quite afternoon, struck. Coughlan almost restored parity for the Shrews but could not keep is header on target and the Shrews tasted Wembley disappointment again after their defeat to Bristol Rovers in the League Two play-off final in 2007. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gillingham: Royce, Fuller, Richards, King, Nutter, Lewis, Weston, Wright, Oli, Jackson, Barcham.

Guest Andypendek Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Well done Burnley. I like it when the old style, full-of-Scotch-professionals teams like Burnley or Preston get success. And well done to Coyle, articulate, professional, a great ambassador for Scotland. If only more of his community were as go-ahead as he is, we'd be a lot better off.
