Blackpool v Gillingham

GILLINGHAM travel to Blackpool for their final game of the season without Trinidad pair Ian Cox and Brent Sancho, who will be flying to join up with the World Cup squad.

And they also have a handful of other injuries to deal with, which include Danny Jackman (hamstring), Jon Wallis (hand), Alan Pouton (knee) and Gary Mulligan (ankle).

Manager Ronnie Jepson admitted he had been dreading the trip earlier in the season but can now enjoy the day.

He said: "When I took the job over I thought we might have to go to Blackpool needing something when I looked at the fixtures.

"But now I can go there and feel quite relaxed. I haven’t got the strongest team but we’ll have a go."

He said: "We’ll look to go out on a high because, for me, the second half of the season has been a good one.

"I was dreading the match. It’s a club not far from where I come from. When I took the job over I thought we might have to go to Blackpool needing something when I looked at the fixtures.

"But now I can go there and feel quite relaxed. I haven’t got the strongest team but we’ll have a go."
