Can City Add To Their Fourteen 'Home' Wins Over Gillingham

Last updated : 16 November 2015 By CNS Staff

Saturday will see Coventry City taking on Gillingham for the 24th time for a match played in Coventry with one game being played at Northampton.

City have won fourteen of the previous 24 meetings with five draws and five defeats with City scoring 58 goals to Gillingham’s 27.

City’s biggest ‘home’ win against Gillingham was a 7-1 win in 1933/34

Last season, the game was City’s first back at the Ricoh Arena after their pointless exile at Sixfields, and on an emotional night, Frank Nouble scored the only goal of the game in the tenth minute in front of a crowd of 27,306.

The teams that night were:

City: Allsop, Willis, Webster. Johnson, Thomas (Finch 88), Fleck, O'Brien, Nouble (McQuoid 58), Tudgay (Hines 88), Clarke, Haynes. Subs: Burge, Pugh, Coulibaly, Phillips, Hines, Finch. 

Gillingham: Bywater, Martin, Egan, Hause, Hessenthaler, McGlashan (German 85), Morris, Davies (Norris 75), Dack, Dickenson (Pritchard 75), Subs: Morris, Fish, Linganzi, McKain.
