Gillingham face Barnsley in a crucial game on Saturday. A win for the Gills would lift them up to as high as 15th in League One. 

Steve Lovell has an almost fully fit squad to choose from with four of the five January signings poised to make their home debut for the club.

Dean Parrett is back to full fitness and will be considered for selection, whilst Alex Lacey will be out for a few more weeks and Billy Bingham should be back for the game against Scunthorpe United.

Three players are one yellow card away from suspension. These are Bradley Garmston, Callum Reilly, and Luke O’ Neill.

After his 90th minute penalty on Saturday away at Coventry. Tom Eaves looks poised to retain his place. It could be that Steve Lovell keeps the same eleven that finished the game at the Ricoh Arena.

Barnsley come into this game 2nd in League One, 5 points behind leaders, Luton Town, and need a win to keep up with the Hatters.

The Tykes have a full squad to choose from and top scorer Keiffer Moore looks to continue his goal scoring form.

Daniel Stendel is enjoying a first season in England and looks to guide The Tykes back to the second tier at the first time of asking.

In total the two clubs have met competitively 31 times, Gillingham winning 7, drawing 9, losing 15.
