Gillingham chairman Brad Galinson describes Stephen Clemence’s style of play as ‘Clem Ball’ following FA Cup win over Charlton

Gillingham chairman Brad Galinson saluted the team’s weekend performance and the new approach to playing, which he’s dubbed ‘Clem Ball’.

The Gills are looking to play more adventurously under head coach Stephen Clemence, much like the England cricket team under Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes - dubbed Bazball.

Gills head coach Clemence grinned at the reference when he was made aware of the chairman’s social media message after Saturday’s 2-0 win over Charlton - as the fans got a real taste of what could be achieved by the players at the club.

“I am not sure what Clem Ball is myself yet!” joked the Gills head coach.

“He will be happy and I am happy for him and the rest of the board, because it is always nice to get into the Third Round and it brings a spotlight on the club, it is great for the finances as well.”

Galinson, who is currently at home in the US, wrote: “Clem Ball is alive and well.

“Very proud of that effort. Steve, Robbie (Stockdale, Gills assistant), the whole team looked like they were winning no matter what.”

The Gills dominated the game with 14 shots to Charlton’s three, limiting the visitors to just one effort on target, with Clemence’s side bossing possession.

There were enough chances second half to have made the winning margin even bigger.

Clemence was brought in to try and get the team to play more expansive, attacking football, with hopes of scoring more goals.

Clem Ball is alive and well. Very proud of that effort. Steve, Robbie, the whole team looked like they were winning no matter what tonight. @TheGillsFC
