Gillingham were denied a much-needed win on Saturday after conceding in stoppage-time. Swindon played over 80 minutes with 10 men after an early red card for defender Grant Hall and the Gills took advantage with an opening goal scored by Tim Dieng.

Gillingham were denied the victory as Harry Smith headed home in the third minute of injury-time. Gillingham were in desperate need of at least a point to end October on a high after losing all five of their previous games during the month.

They looked on course before Smith rose to head home on 93 minutes. There was a change of formation for the Gills, manager Mark Bonner switching to a 3-5-2 from the start for the first time.

Euan Williams was making his first start in the Football League while Jacob Wakeling was chosen to partner Oli Hawkins upfront for the Gills.
