Match Preview - Gills v Swans - Saturday 12th April 2008 Kick-off 3.00pm

Last updated : 11 April 2008 By Tycoch Jack
As away grounds go Priestfield Stadium cannot be counted as one of the Swans favourites. The Swans have lost their last three games at the Stadium, the latest being a 3-1 defeat in the 2006/2007 season (see link below)

Yeovil and Luton were also bogey grounds for us previous to this season and we have already won both of those away games. So hopefully the bogey can be laid-to-bed at Priestfield and if we win against the Gills we will be promoted to the championship for the first time in 24 years.

Swans now have nearly a fully fit squad to pick from, with Garry Monk back in full training and available to play if needed. Martinez is unlikely to risk our club captain and Monk will probably be back in contention for Saturday's visit of Yeovil Town. The only major absentee for the Swans is Dutchman Ferrie Bodde, who may unfortunately be out for the rest of the season. Angel Rangel will probably be rested again after missing the midweek 0-0 draw with Carlisle with exhaustion.

Gillingham defenders Barry Fuller and John Nutter are both major doubts and midfielder Mark Bentley starts a two-game ban and is definitely out, while Georges Ba could make his first start. The Gills remain in the bottom four of League One on goal difference and have just four games left to preserve their status in the division.

The referee for Saturday's game is Clive Penton from Sussex.

Swans(probable): De Vries, Tate, Lawrence, Williams, Austin, Butler, Pratley, Britton, Robinson, Brandy, Scotland. Subs from: Knight, Painter, Way, Tudur-Jones, Bauza, Orlandi, Anderson.

UP THE SWANS!!!!
