Hess Expects Hard Game

Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler has spoken to the BBC about the Bulls ahead of Saturday's game:

"They've not had the best of starts but they're always a hard team to play against. They're going to want to bounce back after getting beat in midweek against Aldershot.

"They've got some good individuals, but it's just not clicking for them at the moment. They've got Delroy Facey up front, who everyone knows from here and I've known him for a while, who's a handful so it's not going to be an easy game.

"We've got to put the same type of performance on as we did in midweek, but we've got to be better in both boxes."

Hessenthaler confirmed that ever present defender Matt Lawrence, and midfielders Danny Spiller, Curtis Weston, and Jack Payne were all likely to miss the game, but captain Andy Frampton is expected to return.

The Gills will have one new face after signing West Ham striker Frank Nouble on a months loan. The 20 year old has played a total of 45 times across the top three divisions in various loan spells and with the Hammers in the Premier League, but has only scored twice.
