Gills players celebrate Adebayo Akinfenwa's goal on the opening day of the season

We’re looking for Gillingham supporters to vote for their August player of the month.

Fans can choose one player from our seven-man shortlist.

We’ve included players who have played three games or more. The winner will be presented with a bottle of champagne before the home League 2 match against Shrewsbury.

ADEBAYO AKINFENWA

Started his Gills career with a goal against Cheltenham and has already shown what a threat he can be to opposing defences.

ANDY BARCHAM

Enjoyed a good game against Morecambe on Saturday and, with a little more luck, would have been off the mark already this season.

JOSH GOWLING

Dropped for the game against Morecambe but has shown glimpses that he can be a decent player at this level.

JACK PAYNE

The only thing that slowed him down last month was an injury picked up at Norwich. He has already shown that this could be a big season for the young man.

CHRIS PALMER

Scored from the edge of the area at Norwich and has performed well at both ends
of the pitch.

DANNY SPILLER

A never-say-die attitude is just what the fans want and Spiller capped a solid first month with the goal on Saturday.

TONY SINCLAIR

Wins countless balls in the air and has not looked out of place since stepping up from non-league after joining the Gills from Woking.
