With just four games left to play this season, Gillingham head to Cheltenham Town on Good Friday desperately looking for a win.

Last Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Wycombe Wanderers at Priestfield wasn’t enough to stop Neil Harris’s side from slipping into the League One bottom four.

With their form being more inconsistent than anything else since the turn of the year – still a marked improvement on their dismal winless run over the winter – Neil Harris has Gillingham in with a fighting chance of securing their third-tier status for 2022-23.

The visitors to Cheltenham were up against it during their meeting with playoff-chasing Wycombe Wanderers following Sam Vokes’ opener on the 20-minute mark, but an unlikely name in Jack Tucker restored parity for Gillingham, who could not capitalise on Lewis Wing’s late sending off.

Still below the dotted line in 21st but level on points with both Fleetwood Town and Morecambe – the former of whom boast a game in hand – it could all come down to the relegation six-pointer with the Cod Army on Monday night, as Portsmouth and Rotherham United will not give points away cheaply.

Harris’s side have certainly defined the term topsy-turvy with a record of four wins, four draws and four losses from their last 12 games in League One, and while they have lost just two of their last six away games, Cheltenham ran out comfortable 2-0 winners when the sides met earlier in the campaign.

Gillingham lost left-back David Tutonda lasted just 11 minutes of the clash with Wycombe after taking a knock to the knee, so Robbie McKenzie may be required to fill in this week.

McKenzie is only just back from a knock himself but should be fine to start, while Danny Lloyd and Alex MacDonald remain on the recovery trail from their long-term issues.

The crunch clash with Fleetwood may come into Harris’s thinking with regards to team selection here, but the Gillingham boss has no reason to fix what is not broken after a spirited showing last time out.

Cheltenham Town possible starting line up:
Evans; Long, Boyle, Pollock; Blair, Sercombe, Bonds, Wright, Hutchinson; Lloyd, May.

Gillingham possible starting line up:
Chapman; Tucker, Ehmer, Masterson; Jackson, Lee, O’Keefe, McKenzie; Thompson; Kelman, Oliver.
