KentonlineLatest Medway Sport Cullip named Gills player-of-the-month by Luke Cawdell
Danny Cullip has been voted by Kent Messenger Group readers as Gillingham player-of-the-month for March.
The 31-year-old had made an immediate impact since his arrival on a free transfer from QPR in February.
Cullip scooped 32 per cent of the votes ahead of captain Andrew Crofts who received 29 per cent of the share. Coming in third was Simon King.
March started with a clean sheet for Cullip and Gillingham but injury at Brighton saw him miss out until the arrival of Bournemouth where he helped the side to a 2-1 win.
He missed the trip to Port Vale but his return saw Gills draw 0-0 with promotion hopefuls Carlisle at the end of the month. Kentonline
KentOnline - Royce faces more time on the sidelines
Gillingham goalkeeper Simon Royce's recovery is taking longer than expected, admitted manager Mark Stimson.
The Gills boss has left the goalkeeping duties in the hands of Derek Stillie for the last five games as Royce recovers from an ankle injury.
Royce’s last appearance was in mid-March as the Gills lost 3-0 at home to Crewe.
Stimson said: “He’s taking a lot longer than we would have liked and with a goalkeeper they do a lot of taking off and landing and so he has to be 100 per cent when he comes back – we just have to monitor it.
“Stillie has come in and hasn’t done badly and he didn’t have a chance with the goal as it was cleanly struck.”
