Player ratings

Nobody could get near Seb Palmer-Houlden

Successful dribbles: 41. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Gillingham bow out of the cup

Stockport County go through and Gillingham go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match

The wait goes on for Gillingham

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Tempers go at Gillingham

Keanan Bennetts 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.

Match

Gillingham come up short against Bristol Rovers

Bristol Rovers left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Jake Turner gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $310.0K sale of Lenni Cirino

He is going to AFC Wimbledon, the club has $310.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market

Lenni Cirino moves on

AFC Wimbledon pay $310.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Keanan Bennetts 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.

Match

Fábio Jaló’s goal not enough for Gillingham

Fábio Jaló scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Crewe Alexandra, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

No hiding place for Andy Smith

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

Squad

Gillingham pick somebody else ahead of Sam Vokes

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Squad

A Gillingham teenager takes the young player award

Jaylan Pearman is 20, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Isaac Holland

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Still no ink between Gillingham and Caleb Ansen

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Gillingham, another week without a signature from Caleb Ansen.
