Match Report
Gillingham's second string were easily disposed of by a much stronger Crystal Palace side. Mark Stimson has mainly used reserve team games to have a look at triallists and youth team players. On this occasion he played two first teamers, Gary Mulligan, not used in recent games and Albert Jarrett, returning from injury. Mulligan, as usual, worked hard leading the line but did little to press his claims for a first team place and although Jarrett showed flashes of pace and ability, it was a bit hit and miss and was eventually substituted with a calf injury that was immediately iced.
One point that I have noticed in reserve team matches that every side that comes to Priestfield seems so much bigger and stronger than Gillingham. Palace looked like a side that came from the land of the giants against our lads.
Luke Rooney looks a good prospect, a bit on the small side, but with a lot of ability and his endeavour matches his more famous namesake.
