Match26 Sep 2026

8 matches without a win for Gillingham

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Gillingham are no longer polite ones.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Keanan Bennetts in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gillingham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Ronan Hale was the difference for Gillingham

Marked 7.10. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad28 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Caleb Ansen

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Caleb Ansen, and the manager let it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Sam Vokes knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Gillingham, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match26 Sep 2026

Gillingham draw a blank against Barnet

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Barnet defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Supporters turn on the $310.0K sale of Lenni Cirino

He is going to AFC Wimbledon, the club has $310.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market31 Aug 2026

Lenni Cirino moves on

AFC Wimbledon pay $310.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Keanan Bennetts in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gillingham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match29 Aug 2026

Fábio Jaló’s goal not enough for Gillingham

Fábio Jaló scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Crewe Alexandra, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Andy Smith

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andy Smith, and the manager let it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Gillingham pick somebody else ahead of Sam Vokes

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A Gillingham teenager takes the young player award

Jaylan Pearman is 20, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Isaac Holland

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market31 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Gillingham and Caleb Ansen

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Gillingham, another week without a signature from Caleb Ansen.

No sign of nerves from Jaylan Pearman at 20 — 7.70

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Jaylan Pearman did not need any: 7.70, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market24 Aug 2026

Euan Williams asks to leave Gillingham

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market24 Aug 2026

Gillingham say no — this time

The offer from Cambridge United for Lenni Cirino was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Caleb Ansen gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Caleb Ansen has just signed for Gillingham, and for once the answer mattered.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Seb Palmer-Houlden runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match22 Aug 2026

Grimsby Town take the points off Gillingham

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Gillingham

Keanan Bennetts was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Isaac Holland signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Isaac Holland and Gillingham agree another 5 years.

Market24 Aug 2026

A long bet from Gillingham on Caleb Ansen

He is 20, and nobody at Gillingham signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
