Alex Pritchard 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.

Timothy Taylor: “We have to be better”
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
In brief
- The dugout Remeao Hutton is still being punished for one mistake
- Squad Isaac Bridge is a square peg at Gillingham
- Match Point won or two lost for Gillingham?
