I don't particularly consider myself as a jinx, but it is particularly disappointing that my first visit to Gillingham this season brought their first home defeat after an unblemished five game start to the season.
Former chairman Scally has, as good as, left the building and visits now are, undoubtledly, a lot more comfortable. Sitting back in the seat that I held as a season ticket, many of the faces are the same, many of the voices are the same, the loudest of which continue, as they have done for years, to harangue offcials whilst seemingly failed to identify their own team's shortcomings.
Such as it was against a Grimsby side that scored with their only shot on target but defended resolutely whilst the Gills lacked the nous to break them down.
One really worked counter attack that ended with a superb ball from Denver Hume finding Kieran Green (best player on the pitch) to fire in from the edge of the box.
The Gills made very little of their 65% possession, with only a low cross from Jayden Clarke that just evaded Elliott Nevitt really threatening the visitor's goal.
A surprise hammering for Walsall, who lost a 2-1 half-time lead to lose 6-2 at home, kept Gillingham at the top of the table, so not quite all was lost on the evening.
