Gillingham’s latest road trip took them into the back yard of the League 2 leaders, and Mark Bonner’s men left Meadow Lane with all three points after a performance full of grit, togetherness, and quality.
Against a County side that looked dangerous throughout, the Gills back four held firm, while in attack, the team hit the target with more shots than the hosts. And, crucially, one of those shots ended up in the back of the net, as Elliott Nevitt latched onto a sublime through-ball by Remeao Hutton, rounded the keeper and slotted into the empty net.
It meant the Gills continued their impressive start to the season, with only Barrow’s second goal against Newport keeping the Gills from top spot in League 2 on goals scored.
And, in an interesting twist, it’s Barrow, and former Gills boss Stephen Clemence, who provide the Gills’ next opponents at Priestfield next weekend.
But, before then, Owen was joined by fellow Gills fans to unpack another hugely important victory in the latest episode of The ME7 Podcast.
