Manager Comments:
Michael Flynn - "I want to see them empty the tank, give everything they've got to the final whistle of the last game of the season. And if they do that they can look in the mirror, win, lose or draw. If they do that they can hold their hands up and say I've given everything - that's all I ask for."
Gareth Ainsworth - “It’s the Easter weekend now and we’re looking forward to getting stuck into two games, and I’m looking forward to seeing some of the players that I haven’t seen too much in games yet.
“But you have to balance without belittling the game or going with a side that you’re just experimenting with, we want to win the games, but I would like to look at a few new faces too."
Previous Meetings:
The teams have only met on 18 previous occasions and it's the Gills who have enjoyed slightly more success, with five wins to four.
The reverse fixture this season resulted in a 2-2 draw at Priestfield just before Christmas. Jayden Clarke and George Lapslie were on target.
