Highlights: Swindon Town Grind Out A Draw Away To The Gills
It was a weekend which only yielded a single point for Swindon Town, as Luke Williams' side journeyed to Gillingham to face the Gills in their own back yard, eager to put the midweek defeat to Port Vale behind them.
After missing Tuesday’s defeat at Port Vale, Ajose and Jordan Turnbull were back among the starting XI that lined up against the Gills. The former reverted to his usual position up front with Jon Obika while the latter partnered Nathan Thompson in the heart of the Swindon defence.
In an even and goalless first forty-five, the home side came closest to opening the scoring early. A slip from Turnbull at the back presented Rory Donnelly with a two-on-one with Lawrence Vigouroux. The shot beat the Town stopper but not the post and the ball clattered away to safety off the outside of the upright.
Town’s best chance of the second half fell to Nicky Ajose. Brad Barry’s whipped cross in from the right reached the striker at the far post but the blustery wind caught the ball forcing a deviation from its intended path and when it came to Ajose, he could only head wide of the target.
