Gillingham 0 Crewe Alexandra 0: Match reaction from Gills’ head coach Stephen Clemence after stalemate at Priestfield in League 2 clash

Gillingham’s early promise faded against Crewe and it’s something the head coach knows they need to work on - as the visitors stopped them playing.

Connor Mahoney and Remeao Hutton were a massive threat down the Gills’ right flank early on but Crewe soon sussed it out and Friday’s game eventually ended in a goalless draw.

Head coach Stephen Clemence admits his team need to find different ways of hurting teams after previous visitors Grimsby Town did a similar trick in another frustrating home draw.

Clemence said: “I don’t think we played quite as well as we can do, we started the game really well, Remeao and Connor were linking up really nicely but Crewe changed slightly what they were doing, they went and stood on Huts to make it harder for him to get the ball and us to get started.

“That happened to us in the Grimsby game as well and when these things happen and people try and stop what you’re doing, you have to find another way, unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find it in these couple of home games.

“We will keep working on it, we’ll look at it as a coaching staff, to try and give the boys different ideas when it does get blocked up on that right-hand side.”
