LOOKING FOR A LEADER! 👀🔎

Recruitment ahead of the 2026/2027 season is probably more important than it's ever been, but we also need to improve in one very crucial area.

Leadership.

What makes a good leader? 👑
Do we have the right material for captain already at the club? 🫡

In this show I ask these questions as well as others, and ask you lot to give me your views.

RELEASED LIST 2025/2026: WHERE WILL THEY GO?! 🤷

Just over a week since we at ME7 Manor covered the Retained & Released List published by after the end of the 25/26 season.

Now it's my turn to fly solo as I look at the 12 senior players released by the club and try to map out their next moves!

Who could potentially play higher?

Who will have to work their way back into the EFL?

Who might come back to bite us next season?

RETAINED & RELEASED 2025/2026! 🎙️

Last night's show was meant to round off our "Spotlight on the Summer" series - but there was no need as announced their retained list nice and early!

So instead, watch as I am joined by , and to discuss the released & retained players ahead of what is going to be a MASSIVE summer in ME7.

Are the panel happy with those on the way out the door? 🚪

What are our initial expectations for those staying at the club next season? 💭

Welcome to the ME7 Podcast and join us as we review the recent news that Gillingham have shared their retained and released list shortly after the end of the...

Since the beginning of 2026, have conceded 46 goals in the league.

3 more than Barrow.
5 more than Tranmere.
11 more than Newport.
17 more than Harrogate.
18 more than Crawley.

It's even 3 more than Sheffield Wednesday, who haven't won a single match this year.

By my reckoning, that means we've conceded more goals in 2026 than any other team in the top 4 divisions.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE SUMMER - EPISODE 3 🎙️

Lots of fans will say that the midfield has been a problem area this season - so what happened when we got 4 of them in a (virtual) room to talk about it?

Watch as myself, David, Alex & Cian shone the spotlight on the engine room as we look ahead to what will hopefully be a busy summer.

Who does Alex think should be given a lifetime contract? Who needs a National League loan? Who would the panel not be bothered about seeing next season?

SPOTLIGHT ON THE SUMMER - EPISODE 2 🎙️

After conceding 10 goals in our last 2 matches, it feels like just the right time to focus on the next area of the pitch - defenders.

Watch as David and Alex get stuck into the current defensive players, talking about who should stay and who should go as we shine the spotlight on the summer once again.

Which player is "made out of rice"? 🍚
Who could be the next big thing? 💰
What do we do with the full back positions? 🤷‍♂️

Like the vast majority of fans, there is absolutely zero satisfaction from being outfought, outclassed, outplayed and completely annihilated.

BUT.

We need to be. We need this to show the management team, the owners and the people behind the scenes the state this club is in right now on the pitch.

On the 29th March 2025, this squad played their first game under Gareth Ainsworth and were unbeaten in the next 9 matches last season. This was a false reading.

The manner of the "performances", the way in which we're conceding pathetic goals, and the lack of ability across 95% of this squad to do the basics right - I hope the powers that be are seeing this and are under no illusions that many of them need to be released come May 3rd 2026.

No temporary run of form.
No reprieve.
No second chances.

We're not a huge club, but we're a proud one, and a committed and passionate fanbase.

So many of this squad deserve to never wear the shirt again.

THE THURSDAY TOPIC! 🗣️

fans will need to get up nice and early (or alternatively leave the day before) to make the trip up to Cumbria as we take on Barrow this Saturday.

This week's Thursday topic is...

What is the longest away day journey you have faced during your time supporting Gillingham?

Let's hear from those early risers, and those that say "let's make a weekend of it".

Or maybe you've had a shorter journey that took longer than it originally should have done? 😬

Let us know and we'll discuss on Thursday evening!

Let's have a Little conversation....🗣️

Armani Little has been part of a midfield this season that has come under a decent amount of criticism from supporters, however I personally feel that sometimes the levels he has personally received have been unjustified.

For me, Little's qualities are not in his usage of the ball, but more so his energy, tenacity and ability to get around the pitch.

Do you think the judgement of him has been fair in recent months, and do you think that (just like with Max Ehmer) Little gets more criticism than others due to him being captain?

Thoughts?
