Market

Gillingham turn down Tranmere Rovers for Euan Williams

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets

Southampton tell Gillingham: James Bree 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Eli King

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

Match

Crewe Alexandra take the points off Gillingham

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Words exchanged at Gillingham

Will Murdock 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.

Squad

Daniel Phillips has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Gillingham know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

Still no ink between Gillingham and Daniel Phillips

“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 Daniel Phillips.

The dugout

Anthony Howard faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Anthony Howard after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Transfer targets

Gillingham ask about Joel Latibeaudiere

A loan enquiry to Coventry City: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

In brief
