Jon Mellish hit the winner early in the second half to make it three away defeats in a row for the lacklustre Gills.

Dennis fired over from all of 30 yards as both sides struggled to find their attacking feet.

Cheye Alexander shot over and David Tutonda saw a strike saved as the Gills pushed just before half-time.

Paul Huntington had a header well saved by Glenn Morris just after the re-start.

Mellish put the hosts ahead on 55 minutes with the aid of a deflection after getting on the end of Jack Armer's flick-on.
