"Gillingham's good form means the likes of Liam Nash and Navid Nasseri must be patient
Navid Nasseri and Liam Nash have yet to play for Gillingham this season but boss Steve Lovell had told the pair to stay positive.
Striker Nash was left out of the squad completely at Walsall while midfielder Nasseri was an unused sub once again.
Lovell is unwilling to change a team that have started the season in a positive manner which means those on the fringes are having to stay patient.
“I have had a chat with them,” said the Gills boss.
“Their argument is ‘I have done well through pre-season’ and they have, but so have another 20 players. You can only keep 11 happy."
“Like I said to them, keep yourself going because you never know in football when you are called upon and needed, you have to be right to take that place and go in and who knows?
“It might be Wednesday, they could get a call, on they go and if they make things happen you are in the team. If they do well they stay in and that is why we haven’t changed the team too much from the start of the season.
“Just because we lost on Saturday doesn’t mean we are going to make wholesale changes, that doesn’t do anything. If they hadn’t done well, hadn’t looked as though they knew what they were doing, yes change it, at the moment it is very hard to change anyone.”
Nash and Nasseri are set to be involved at Concord Rangers tonight (Tuesday) with the Gills facing the National League South side in a friendly (kick off 7.45pm).
Those coming off the bench so far have made an impact, with substitute Tom Eaves scoring twice against Burton, Bradley Stevenson impressing at Millwall and Conor Wilkinson doing likewise at Walsall.
“We have got the strength in depth now,” said the manager.
“We have got a decent backing now and those in the team have to make sure they keep the others out and at the moment they are because they are performing very well.”"

Friendly - Eastleigh 0:4 Gillingham FT:
*Navid started on the bench and was subbed in on the 74th min.
*He assisted the 3rd goal.
"Nasseri, on for Byrne, played in the striker on the right hand side of the box. From a decent angle Nash's 20-yard effort struck the underside of Stack and the keeper couldn’t react in time as the ball rolled in."

Navid has signed a 1-year extension with Gillingham:
"Midfielder Navid Nasseri completes contract extension at Gillingham
Young midfielder Navid Nasseri has signed a new one-year deal.
Nasseri joined the Gills in January and played four games for the club.
He made two starts for the Gills but boss Steve Lovell has seen enough to hand him a new deal.
Before joining the Gills he had a season playing in Sweden for Syrianska and prior to that he had played for Birmingham and Macclesfield.
He's eager to show what he can do next season, saying: “Fans only got a glimpse of me last season, hopefully I’ll get 30 games plus next year and I’m just raring to go.
“I’m pleased to get this over the line, I thought I played well in the games I did play last season and I’m just looking to get sharp for pre-season now.”"

so not even a token youtube highlight reels from this kid..??
league 1 is a somewhat competitive league, if he can start frequently and perform admirably he could be one to keep an eye on for future .... he seems young enough for it..!

He's only 21 and already playing for a League 1 team. If he can move to a Championship club in 1-2 years, then he has a relatively good future ahead of him.
I wish he was a CDM instead of a CAM, because on the CAM we are pretty much stacked the following years: Ghoddos and Shekari both can play there. Even Sadeghian could get the call-up for Asian Cup 2019.

I mean, you aren't wrong lol, but he doesn't get the attention he deserves.Originally posted by ali alipour View PostRealistically no one here has ever seen him play. So you really have no idea whether or not he’s criminally underrated.
EFL League 1 is a good starter league for a young guy like Nasseri and hes taken his chance and scored when he could

Exciting young midfielder Navid Nasseri looks set to keep his place in the Gills team for their trip to Southend.
Steve Lovell’s side will be looking to get back in track after losing their last two games in League 1, heading to Roots Hall today (Monday).
Nasseri scored and impressed on his first start for the Gills, in the 2-1 defeat to MK Dons, two months after joining on a free.
Gills boss Lovell said: “He has been patient and he deserved the opportunity. He produced, he did really well.
“He was first class. He has confidence, brains and energy and I thought he did really well, I am really pleased for him. Nav was definitely a plus for us.”
Nasseri had been playing in Sweden for Syrianksa before linking up with the Gills. His only other appearance for the Gills was as a substitute against Portsmouth.
His chance came following an illness to captain Lee Martin and a knock for Josh Parker, who is back from international duty.
Martin is expected to be available for the trip to Southend."

Lost 4-0 on Monday. Good news is Navid came on in 46th minute and they didn’t concede after he came on.
Played central midfield position.
