Gillingham 1-1 Northampton Town Player Ratings: Defensive improvement, but cutting edge still missing
29.08.26, 20:30 Updated 29.08.26, 21:34
Gillingham's second home game of the season ended with the team's second league point of the campaign as Gareth Ainsworth's men turned in a much more defensively solid performance than we saw at Priestfield on opening day.
While there were plenty of positives in front of our own goal, the team is still searching for that magic touch in the opposition penalty area. But there are signs that things are gradually starting to improve on that front, too.
Here, Gills 365 assesses the individual performances of each of the Gills players against Northampton Town on Matchday 3.
