Gillingham 1-0 Ipswich Town - Half-Time
Saturday, 6th Mar 2021 13:59
Jack Tucker’s seventh-minute goal has given Gillingham a 1-0 half-time lead over the Blues at half-time in Paul Cook’s first game in charge.
Josh Harrop started in place of Alan Judge in an otherwise unchanged Town line-up.
Judge was missing from the 18 due to a family bereavement and the team wore black armbands on their light blue away strip as a mark of respect.
The Blues set up in the same system as employed in their last four games with former Gill Tomas Holy in goal.
Skipper Luke Chambers was at right-back as he entered the top 10 of Town’s all-time appearance makers, Myles Kenlock at left-back with Toto Nsiala and James Wilson the centre-halves.
Shrews Match Postponed Due to Frozen Pitch
Saturday, 13th Feb 2021 14:16
Town’s game at Shrewsbury has been postponed due to a frozen pitch at Montgomery Waters Meadow.
A pitch inspection took place at around 1.50pm with a decision made soon afterwards to postpone the match.
Sections of the pitch were a concern once the covers were taken off two hours before kick-off was due to take place. The temperature is minus one and is not expected to get any warmer with light snow falling.
The game will now be played on a Tuesday night later in the season, tentative plans to restage it tomorrow not having come to fruition.
