Gillingham Team News

Gillingham will be aiming to avoid a third consecutive defeat on Saturday, when The Gills host Doncaster at Priestfield.

Gillingham goalkeeper Kelvin Jack is ruled out of the game on Saturday, and is expected to be replaced by the on loan Luton goalkeeper Dean Brill - who has conceeded fifteen goals in his six games for Gillingham.

Ian Cox returns to the squad having served his one game suspension, and defender Ben Chorley has extended his loan spell with The Gills until the end of the season meaning that he will most probably continue in the defence.

Gills from: Brill, Jupp, Sancho, Chorley, Easton, Cox, Jackman, Johnson, Clohessy, Howell, Bentley, Crofts, Flynn, Jarvis, Spiller, Pouton, McDonald, Stone, Mulligan, Savage, Ndumbu-Nsungu, Collin.

Jepo' Says

" We've been on the training ground, but it's like I've been saying all season, we're up and down and it's just about getting that consistency. We know we need bodies in to give us a bit of a lift and to create that competition, and we're trying to do that. At some stages of the season I've been really pleased with the football we've been playing, but the other side of it is that I've been disappointed in how we've conceded, and it's not because of anything tactical, it's been the one-on-one situations. Defending is an art and we should be taking pride in our defending, and we have been doing a lot of work on that on the training ground, and hopefully the lads can improve on that because at times we've been playing some really good football.

"Whoever we play at Priestfield, if we perform how we have done at times this season then I'm not bothered, because we will give anyone a game here when we play the way we have at times this season," he said.
