"Gillingham's midweek game at Dartford offers triallist another chance to impress"
https://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/spo ... he-310129/
Gillingham take on Ady Pennock’s Isthmian Premier Division side Dartford and could give former Charlton player Euan Williams another chance to impress
Gillingham’s weekend goalscorer Euan Williams is set for another appearance on Tuesday night as the former Charlton youngster seeks a new club.
Williams signed his first professional contract at Charlton in 2020, having been under the watchful eye of the Addicks’ former academy coach Anthony Hayes, who is now assistant boss at Gillingham.
The attacking midfielder, 21, had been with Charlton since the age of nine but was released this summer.
He played an hour for the Gills on Saturday, scoring the opening goal in a 2-0 win over Watford and having a couple more chances go wide during a lively performance.
The Gills have been looking to add extra attacking options to their squad with Williams the second trialist in as many games to play in support of the striker. West Ham’s Kamarai Simon-Swyer played in that role the week before against Millwall and Gills boss Bonner has said they had held talks with former Priestfield favourite Bradley Dack.
On Monday they signed Enfield Town’s prolific striker Marcus Wyllie.
Bonner, speaking about Williams said: “(He was) really good. We will see him again on Tuesday.
“The boys know him from Charlton, Deren (Ibrahim, the goalkeeping coach) and Pete (Gill, first team coach) know him and so does Hayesey.
“He has been in the last few days and done well and did well again (on Saturday) and scored a nice goal, had a couple of good counter-attacks. It was a nice performance from him.”
Gillingham play a Dartford team who are managed by their former manager Ady Pennock and preparing for a season in the Isthmian Premier after relegation from National South.
Looking ahead to that game, Bonner said: “I imagine it will be tough, they all are. You kid yourself pre-season that all of a sudden we will be a dominant team but who knows?
“If you don’t turn up and work hard then you won’t be and we just have to keep building.
“We don’t want to be obsessed by the opponents in pre-season. We have to keep building our style and our quality and as we build the minutes I want to see us continually look a better team each time we play.
“We will up the minutes and see which way is better to use the players, whether they have shorter minutes Tuesday and bigger Saturday (at Southend United).
“We will see where everyone is physically. Hopefully, it can be a game where we start to show a little bit about us with the ball, that would be our intention, but that only happens if you work hard enough to get the ball back and create the angles to play.
“It will be a good test for us and we’re looking forward to the two games we have this week and seeing where we are next weekend.”

I may be wrong but is that Sanchez Ming at right back?

Wish my phone had broke. Still, hopefully a good workout.

First half we did well considering the opposition and can be pleased with our performance.
Second half with the amount of changes we made it's always going to be difficult but to be fair Gillingham played at a higher tempo and moved the ball a lot better running out comfortable winners.
But the signs are beginning to look encouraging with quite a few players settling in nicely.
Good to see some of the younger players doing well but imo we will need Ady to add a few more decent additions to the squad as we are still low on numbers.
