Gillingham's young players will take on Whitstable Town on Tuesday night, as Scott Wagstaff's side looks to continue their development.
What's at Stake?
The Gills have supplemented their under-18 side with some young pros over pre-season, taking in games against Sheppey United, Sutton Athletic, Lewes, and Chatham Town. The team is preparing for the new season, after finishing 17th in League Two with 53 points, 13 wins, 14 draws, and 19 losses from 46 games.
Recent Form
Gillingham's recent form has been mixed, with 2 wins, 0 draws, and 3 losses in their last 5 games, and a 1-0 win over Shrewsbury on May 2, 2026. The young Gills will be looking to build on their recent performances, including a tough 1-0 loss to Chatham Town.
The Opposition
Whitstable Town, managed by former Gills player Lee Martin, will provide a tough test for the young Gills, as they prepare for their season in Isthmian South East, after winning the Southern Counties East Premier Division title last season. The game will be played at The YMS Stadium, with kick-off at 7.45pm.
What Comes Next?
The Gills have two games left before the start of the season, and Wagstaff will be looking to use these games to develop his young players, and prepare them for the challenges ahead, with the aim of getting them into the first team, and helping the club improve on their recent form, with a goal difference of -19, after scoring 53 goals and conceding 72 last season
