“THERE’S only one Phil Morris” sang the Wanderers fans, in a playful ode to a winger who is helping the club’s promotion push more than most.

Wing wizard Filipe Morais, to give him his Sunday name, conjured FOUR assists at Priestfield to add to the three he had produced at Fleetwood on a night where everything he touched turned to goals.

David Wheater, Mark Beevers, Adam Le Fondre and Josh Vela were the willing recipients as the Whites put four past the hapless Gills for the second game running.

Discarded by Bradford City and picked up – it appeared at the time – to make up the numbers in a threadbare squad, Morais has proved to be the most pleasant of surprises.

His ability to pick out men at set pieces has made every corner or free kick a lethal weapon and for successive games, Wanderers have managed to take full advantage.

Parkinson understandably went with the same side that beat Fleetwood, having checked on Vela’s fitness at training in Maidstone the morning of the game.

And within three minutes the feeling of déjà vu from the weekend win was incredible.

Wanderers started in the same upbeat tempo and within a couple of minutes had forced a corner, whipped in by Morais and headed home at the far post by Wheater.

Parkinson had joked that the big defender was finishing chances like a centre-forward at the weekend but after stealing in for his seventh of the season, one wonders if he could claim the club's 'golden boot' at the end of April.

A matter of minutes later and it was as if we were watching a video replay of the game at Highbury.

Morais waltzed around his marker, Deji Oshilaja, and dug out another tasty cross from the byline for Le Fondre to head home from point-blank range.

The Gills may have felt a little aggrieved with referee Tim Robinson for missing a handball by Darren Pratley in the build-up but once the goal went in, three sides of Priestfield were shell-shocked.

Wanderers might have made it three a few moments later when a terrible pass from Max Ehmer allowed Andy Taylor to play in Le Fondre. Unfortunately for the Whites, covering defender Zesh Rehman managed to get across and block his stinging shot.

After that the game managed to settle for a while. Bradley Dack was given a few chances to swing in some set pieces of his own and though Ben Alnwick did allow one to slip through his grasp, Taylor was on hand to clear the danger.

The Whites keeper redeemed himself with a solid save on the one attempt Dack did put on target – but otherwise the Kent men were second to everything.

Once again Pratley was masterful in the middle of the park, towering a foot over every Gills midfielder who dared to challenge for a loose ball.

Derik Osede was also able to get more involved than he did in the first half of Saturday, looking quickly to spread the ball to Morais at every available opportunity.

Wanderers looked like they had settled on a two-goal lead as the first half entered into stoppage time but then another corner presented them with a chance too good to turn down.

Morais whipped the ball in near post this time, and whether this caught Gillingham off guard only Adrian Pennock will know, but Beevers was able to steer his header in almost unchallenged to the utter disbelief of the home fans.

A hardy bunch of around 500 Wanderers fans had made the long trip from the North West, nearly missing kick off after some traffic trouble entering into London. But my, oh my, this was well worth the effort.

Another shaky moment for Alnwick immediately after the restart threatened very briefly to give the home side a window back into the game. The Whites keeper had to make a panicky clearance under pressure from Cody McDonald but any worry was eased instantly as Morais delivered yet again.

Another driving run at Oshilaja, who by now was looking for a hole in the ground to swallow him up, and this time the low cross was poked home nonchalantly by Vela, who is now on eight goals for the season.

Most of Wanderers’ football had been direct – the kind of stuff we have come to expect since Parkinson came through the door. But just before the hour mark they conjured a magical move down the right involving five players, ending with Pratley’s acrobatic volley which was tipped over the bar by keeper Nelson.

Game won, Parkinson was given the opportunity to hand some valuable game time to Max Clayton, James Henry and Jem Karacan before the end without having to worry that the lead was under threat.

Morais got a deserved standing ovation from the 517 travelling fans in the corner of the pitch as he left the pitch with 10 minutes to go, and another as he walked off after the final whistle. In the mood he was in – it’s a wonder he didn’t give each and every one of them a lift home.
