Dack progressing well but likely to miss out
A trio of Gillingham players are nearing recovery from injury but this weekend might come too soon. Bradley Dack and Scott Wagstaff are both back doing training drills while Bradley Garmston is a little further behind. The Gills travel to Scunthorpe tomorrow (Saturday) aiming to maintain their unbeaten start in League 1. Boss Justin Edinburgh, updating the injury situation, said: “Wagstaff and Dack are progressing well. “Bradley Garmston is a bit slower but it was a more severe injury (dislocated kneecap). We’re positive, they are improving and that is all you can ask for.” Just like the Gills, Scunthorpe have started the season well, winning two and drawing one of their opening three games. Edinburgh said: “They had a good end to last season under Graham Alexander and have continued that this year. It’s another tough encounter but we know they all are.” The Gills boss has been delighted with his own team’s start to the season, quickly putting the end of last season behind them, even if others haven’t. Boss Edinburgh joked: “I am sure once we get to the end of September, maybe October or November, maybe 2018, that we might stop thinking about last year! “The players have been fantastic, as have the fans, who were back to what we would expect Priestfield to be like (on Tuesday), like a fortress. “We are chipping away at it. The group have gelled quickly and you have to remember the amount of new signings we have had over a short period of time. “It is credit to them to have come together as quickly as they have.” The Gills are in EFL Cup second-round action on Tuesday night when they travel to Premier League side Watford (7.45pm).
