Tomorrow and Wednesday, we have two friendlies against Erith & Belvedere and then Ramsgate. According to the club website we are playing a 'Gillingham XI' for these games. What players players does everyone think will play in each match? With it being classed as an just a Gillingham 11, i would be surprised of either was an overly strong side.
I would imagine that by fielding a Gillingham XI that Hessy will be giving some of the youth players a run out together with the some of the players that we retained from last season who did not make the first Xi on a regular basis.
a bit of news that i've discovered is that jermain defoe's brother...shane defoe is playing on trial for us, either tuesday or wednesday, he's a 23 year old striker with pace!!!
Does anyone know anything of Defoe's background? Played for any club's academy / non-league teams? Can't say I've heard of him 'til now.
According to the OS we are playing our strongest side against Erith....Obviously Hessy want them to play together as much as possible! http://www.gillinghamfootballclub.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10416~2390090,00.html
