Time to shuffle the pack: Gills 365's suggested Gillingham XI starting lineup for Port Vale

MATCHDAY 12: On this week's Blood, Sweat & Gills podcast, we selected a new-look starting lineup for Gillingham's upcoming match with Port Vale, with three key changes to the starting XI for Tuesday night's clash under the lights.

After a hugely disappointing performance at Accrington at the weekend, Gillingham boss Gareth Ainsworth doesn't need to worry about keeping with a winning team.

Despite selecting the same starting lineup that won 4-1 at Rotherham, his side turned in a very different performance at the Wham Stadium as they crashed to a 3-1 defeat.

It means that any potential team selection headaches and dilemmas he may have had before the weekend might not be quite so difficult to tweak this time around, with any potential changes to his XI now far more understandable following the team's sub-par performance.
