Market

Jake Turner hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Gillingham can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Gillingham

Alan Martínez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Remeao Hutton

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Alexei Rojas Fedorushchenko

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

Squad

Remeao Hutton makes it 200

200 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Peter Mitchell for 14 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Gillingham will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Player ratings

Aaron Rowe in the eights

A performance of 8.16 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

Harrogate Town snatch it back from Gillingham

A goal on 89 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Squad

Alexei Rojas Fedorushchenko makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Player ratings

Aaron Rowe was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets

West Bromwich Albion tell Gillingham: Tammer Kumar is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets

Zane Okoro due for a Gillingham medical

Everything agreed with Lincoln City, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Gillingham

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Match

Seb Palmer-Houlden sends Gillingham past Oldham Athletic

It finished 2‑1, and it was Seb Palmer-Houlden’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Gillingham.

Squad

A falling-out at Gillingham

Alan Martínez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces

Gillingham supporters have found a favourite in Seb Palmer-Houlden

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Seb Palmer-Houlden has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market

Daniel Williams steps up from the Gillingham academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Williams has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Gillingham promote Peter Mitchell from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Peter Mitchell has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
