Marked for Bradley Dack

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Age has not caught Bradley Dack yet — 8.04

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.04 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Liam Kitching is a medical away from Gillingham

The deal with Coventry City is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Match16 Jan 2027

The wait goes on for Gillingham

4 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.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Gillingham bid $530.0K for Jake Bickerstaff

The offer went to Cheltenham Town this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market18 Jan 2027

Gillingham get their man

The chase for Frank Tattum ended with $480.0K changing hands and Birmingham out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Door shut on Abdoullah Ba

Gillingham asked and Sunderland said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Reece Cole 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.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Euan Williams signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Euan Williams commits to Gillingham for another 3 years.

Match16 Jan 2027

Bradley Dack rescues a point for Gillingham

It needed Bradley Dack to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Colchester United, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Nobody could get near Ronan Hale

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match19 Dec 2026

Gillingham see off Bromley

Three points for Gillingham, 2‑1 the final word against Bromley in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad21 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Gillingham

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

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Bradley Dack stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.98 on the card, and the Gillingham support went home talking about one name.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Harry Young: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑1, already talking about the next one.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Robbie McKenzie 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.

Squad21 Dec 2026

A ban for Reece Cole

One booking too many, and a game watched from the stand. Gillingham lose him for the most avoidable reason in the sport.

Looking ahead21 Dec 2026

Jonny Williams goes back to face Milton Keynes Dons

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Jonny Williams’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Gillingham needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Market21 Dec 2026

The Sam Gale question follows Gillingham around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Sam Gale’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

A brace, and Ronan Hale takes the afternoon — 8.39

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Ronan Hale provided it, and the 8.39 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Finley McAllister 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.

Match7 Nov 2026

Ronan Hale sends Gillingham past Newport County

It finished 2‑0, and it was Ronan Hale’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Gillingham.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Harry Young, on a 2‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Market9 Nov 2026

Still no ink between Gillingham and Reece Cole

“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 Reece Cole.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Gillingham pick somebody else ahead of Neo Eccleston

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.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Taite Holtam

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Neo Eccleston knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Gillingham, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad9 Nov 2026

“I want to play”: Euan Williams speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.
