A knee injury of the worst kind for Edward Grant
31 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Gillingham lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match14 Aug 2027
Nobody wins at Gillingham
11 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Tempers go at Gillingham
Cohen Bramall 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.

As if he never left: Daniel Stewart returns
Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Daniel Stewart is a Gillingham player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Jacob Clark comes home
The shirt still fits. Jacob Clark is back at Gillingham, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Real improvement from Jordan Longhi at Gillingham
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jordan Longhi is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Cameron Gardner 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.
In brief
- Squad Bradley Dack has improved at 33, which nobody expected
- Match Gillingham and Grimsby Town cancel each other out
- Player ratings The pass was always on for Bradley Dack
