Gillingham's League Two campaign got off to a bad start as they were defeated 3-0 at home by Walsall. But the scoreline doesn't tell the full story of the match, which the Gills dominated for long spells until the last 10 minutes.
There was a host of positive performances from players in a Gills short, and in the first instalment of our soon-to-be regular feature following home games, we offer our top five performers in a blue shirt as we present our Priestfield Power Rankings for Gillingham 0-3 Walsall.
