Match Report
At this stage I'm not guessing whether Gillingham will go down or not, but I am willing to predict that we are going to be in a relegation battle right to the wire and heaven forbid that we need to go to Elland Road on the last day still needing something.
From the moment I heard that Facey and Griffiths were to lead the line I suspected a goalless afternoon. Both worked hard, but they neither created chances or had any created for them. They eventually gave way to Mulligan, who looked to have a good call for a penalty turned down and Jackson, very late on. Whichever pairing Stimson has tried there are very few goals in this squad and that is going to be the reason that a relegation dog-fight seems certain.
Yeovil were awful, forcing Royce into just one comfortable save, and had Maher sent off for dreadful challenge on Simon King, who was stretchered off.
With three of the bottom four seemingly stranded there might be just the one place to avoid. Gillingham now face three successive away games before fellow strugglers Crewe come to Priestfield and unless Stimson pulls a striker of the Chris Dickson calibre out of the hat before the end of the loan window, I fear Gillingham might have a bit of ground to make up when they return home.
