The Gareth Ainsworth story continues with this match as the Gillingham boss returns from surgery to be in the stadium for this match.
Whilst he is not yet permitted to return to the dugout at this stage, Ainsworth’s very presence in the ground will surely be a boost to Gills as they look to return to the form they had under Ainsworth’s first few months.

📈 Gillingham v Crawley Form & Stats
There's no doubt that Gillingham have suffered while not having Ainsworth on the bench. Whether the results would have been similar or not if Ainsworth had been there we will never know, but from being unbeaten and top of the table, Gillingham have now lost four of their last six.
However, their home performances in particular have been good, they have generated over 2xG in both of their last two home games, a feat that they didn’t manage at all in their opening five home matches.
That rot was stopped with a league win over Bristol Rovers last time out, though, so that would have been a relief for them. They are a team who don't rely on possession, ranking 22nd for accurate passes completed per match, but their defensive record is very strong, ranking second for goals conceded. However, this is an over-performance, as they are only ranked 12th for expected goals against.
Crawley have suffered a below par season so far. They sit 19th, two points above the relegation zone, but it would have been a lot worse if they hadn't won their last two league matches. Their elimination from the FA Cup by Boreham Wood would have been disappointing, but their focus is surely to remain in the EFL, so it would be unwise to put too much focus on that result alone.
Looking at the stats, Crawley are probably value for a higher spot in the table. They rank 10th for expected goals created and 16th for expected goals against across the season as a whole. Whilst this isn't outstanding, it does show that Crawley are no mugs at this level.
