It took a deflection to make the crucial breakthrough, but Gillingham finally claimed a hard-earned victory at Priestfield as they defeated fellow League 2 strugglers Morecambe 1-0 at home.
Not for the first time this season, Robbie McKenzie was the man who stepped up to make the crucial goal contribution as he reacted first to Max Ehmer’s blocked volley and unleashed one of his own that took a big deflection en route to the back of the Rainham End net.
The outpouring of relief – on the pitch, in the stands and even in the dugout – was there for all to see at the final whistle as the Gills finally snapped their long winless streak, and not a moment too soon.
On this week’s show, Tom Jasper, James Cleal and Dave Miller look back at a victory that might just prove to be the win that ensures our League 2 safety.
