Gillingham's long away trip to Fleetwood Town produced the club's first league point of the season, but it came at a price, with another important first-team player joining the club's lengthy injury list.
The Gills battled through the 97 minutes at Highbury Stadium to earn a 0-0 draw in a match that saw Gareth Ainsworth's side hit the woodwork twice, and Kadeem Harris stretchered off, on a day that offered encouragement and frustration in equal measure.
The encouragement came from a number of positives Ainsworth and the travelling Gills support can take from the game. The defence, featuring the same back three that finished last weekend's game against Walsall, held firm and outduelled Fleetwood, both in the air and on the ground, to earn their first clean sheet of the campaign.
