Gillingham produced another battling performance, but once again they came away frustrated not to have won the game after a combination of Crewe’s defensive commitment, some poor finishing, and a highly questionable refereeing decision left the game goalless at full-time.
John Coleman’s side once again played with plenty of the commitment and energy that was missing earlier in the season but, once again, that finishing touch eluded the team as the side was unable to take advantage after Crewe went down to 10 men with 15 minutes to go.
They did have the ball in the net, but Bradley Dack was adjudged to have fouled Crewe keeper Filip Marschall, who totally misjudged an aerial ball before Dack swept home.
It meant the Gills had to content themselves with a point after a game that left the fans walking away feeling much better about the team than they had after previous home games this season.
