Despite their criticisms, Gillingham sit 14th in the league one for long balls played. With an average of 78 per game
Less than teams such as:
Sunderland ️
Ipswich ️
Charlton ️
Blackpool ️
The most:
Swindon- 98 PG

So basically, we are just about mid-table bog-standard League 1 when it comes to playing “long ball”. I know that figure would look worse as a percentage of our total passes what with our low possession stats. But doubt it’s that much different.
And there’s me thinking we were the worst by a long margin. Go figure.
