Gillingham are unlikely to stick with the same side in their two League 1 games over the Easter weekend

Gillingham are unlikely to stick with the same side in two games over the Easter weekend.

Gills meet League 1 play-off rivals Fleetwood at Priestfield on Good Friday and go
to struggling Leyton Orient on Easter Monday (both 3pm).

Midfielders Doug Loft (calf) and Bradley Dack (back) missed training at the start of the week but Justin Edinburgh is hopeful the pair will be available, along with Jake Hessenthaler (ill).

Boss Edinburgh said: “We’ve got one or two carrying knocks that didn’t train on Monday or Tuesday.

“We’ll assess those, mindful we’ve got another game on Monday. I’m sure there will be one or two changes over those games.”

Edinburgh feels Gills owe their home crowd a performance after three games without a win at Priestfield, a run that could ultimately cost them a play-off place. They’re six points adrift of the top six in 14th place.

Edinburgh said: “Friday’s game is the big one for us because we haven’t performed as well as we can at home in recent weeks.

“Probably our three previous home results, if anything, might make the play-offs out of reach but you never know.”
