Fleetwood Town 0 Gillingham 0: League Two match report from Highbury Stadium

Gillingham worked hard for a point at Fleetwood but picked up what could be another serious injury.

The other change for the Gills saw Robbie McKenzie replace Armani Little in midfield.

Goalkeeper Ollie Wright remains injured and that led to another start for Sheffield Wednesday loan man Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

The opening half at Fleetwood saw the Gills have the only two on-target efforts and they should have scored off the first.

Those two chances came within the space of just a few minutes, with Nick Freeman with both crosses.
