Gareth Ainsworth hails his Gillingham squad after Bristol Rovers victory: 'We’re really building something’

James Brophy and a brace from late substitute Sheldon Kendall – his first for the club – secured the victory as Ainsworth's Gills extended their unbeaten run to six games, and their win streak to three matches, with a performance that saw the home fans depart Priestfield genuinely excited for the potential for our season ahead.

That excitement extended to the gaffer, too, who waxed lyrical about the squad he's put together over the summer, as he cleared the decks and rebuilt Gillingham's playing staff from the ground up in one of the busiest summers in the club's history. Just seven games into the campaign, that work already seems to be bearing fruit, and Ainsworth was delighted to see the results out on the pitch.
