Christopher Hill damages knee ligaments — 22 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 22 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market16 Aug 2027

Andy Smith 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.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Real improvement from Ryan McAidoo at Gillingham

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ryan McAidoo is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match14 Aug 2027

Nobody wants to play Gillingham right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Sam Vokes 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.

Calvin Ramsay has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

The terraces16 Aug 2027

The crowd has taken to Emre Tezgel

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match14 Aug 2027

Ronan Hale the difference as Gillingham beat Swindon Town

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ronan Hale. 2‑0 against Swindon Town, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings16 Aug 2027

Nobody could get near Erik Ring

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Christopher Hill damages knee ligaments — 29 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 29 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Marcus Ifill is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Sam Vokes signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Sam Vokes commits to Gillingham for another 2 years.

As if he never left: Dan Scarr returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Dan Scarr is a Gillingham player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Gillingham

Sam Vokes 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.

Market9 Aug 2027

Talks stall between Gillingham and Bradley Dack

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
