Steve Evans hailed Gillingham’s 4-1 demolition of Rochdale at the Crown Oil Arena as one of their best performances of his reign. Dale had beaten Wigan 5-0 just four days earlier and manager Evans was delighted with his side’s dominant showing against a team he rates highly. “It was one of the best performances from the team since I took charge here,” said Evans, who took over in summer 2019. “The quality and the passing and the movement were terrific and this is a good Rochdale side. Teams beat them and they beat teams – but no one does that to them, and that’s credit to our players’ performance.
