Malcolm Ebiowei scores twice — 8.06
Two goals and a mark of 8.06 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Remeao Hutton was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 27. 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.

Match15 Aug 2026
Gillingham get the job done against Oldham Athletic
A 2‑1 win over Oldham Athletic, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
The terraces17 Aug 2026
One of their own: Malcolm Ebiowei
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

One of our own: Henry Reid joins the Gillingham first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Henry Reid is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: George Barnes joins the Gillingham first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. George Barnes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
