Gillingham manager Gareth Ainsworth looks ahead to the visit of Milton Keynes Dons to Priestfield in League Two on Tuesday night

Gillingham manager Gareth Ainsworth has spoken of the ‘seemingly endless resources’ available to midweek visitors MK Dons.

While the Gills aren’t short of funds themselves, the Dons have been big spenders in the division this season - and they look like they’ve made it count.

MK Dons are second in the League Two table ahead of their visit to Priestfield, five points behind leaders Bromley and with a game in hand.

They’ll be looking to narrow that gap at the top tonight (Tuesday) while the Gills battle it out for places in the bottom half of the table.

Speaking about their next opponents, Ainsworth said: “MK have brought players from a higher division and seem to have had an endless limit to what they can do.

“They bring this player in, he gets injured or he's not great, so they'll bring another one in. We even tried to bring a couple of their players to our place in the summer, thinking they might be out of favour, but they're keeping them all.

“It’s no wonder they're up there because they've got a big squad and a lot of quality.

“Unfortunately, [money] talks when you sign players like that, and that's where we are.”

MK beat Harrogate 4-1 at the weekend and are currently on an 11-game unbeaten run.

Ainsworth also spoke about how grateful he is for the backing he has received.

Ainsworth said: “Brad and Shannon [Galinson, the owners] have backed me with what I want to do.
