Priestfield Stadium, Sunday 1.30pm
Steve Kember is looking to end the season on a high away to Gillingham on Sunday, kick-off 1.30pm.
Kember said: "In the last three matches we have had a draw, a narrow defeat at Millwall and a good victory over Stoke. It is important that we continue this on with the three points in our final match of the season.
"We were battered the last time I took a team to the Priestfield but we are stronger as a side physically now and must impose ourselves on the game from the first whistle."
He added: "Darren Powell has been playing with a hamstring problem recently but had to leave the field last week although I am confident he will make the starting line up on Sunday.
"We will be without Noel Whelan though as his foot injury last weekend had no chance of being 100% so he has returned to Middlesbrough.
"Our fans have had some good days through the season but have also had to suffer some disappointments along the way so it would an excellent day for them to go into their summer with a good performance and maximum points."

Simon Osborn,
The experience of the little midfielder cum striker has been an important factor this season for the Gills. He'll be looking to weave some final-day magic against Palace on Sunday.
