Getting Gillingham to find the back of the net more frequently will be an immediate challenge for the new head coach. The fans want more exciting football and the goals must follow.
A lack of goals and a lack of striker options was an ongoing headache for outgoing interim Gillingham boss Keith Millen and is something Stephen Clemence will hope he can fix.
Millen’s game in charge against Newport County last Saturday was his last in the league ahead of a new first- team head coach being appointed - and one where the team were goal-shy once again.
The Gills lost 2-0, despite having 17 attempts at goal. Just three were on target. It’s a problem that hampered former boss Neil Harris throughout his time at the Gills and one the new man in charge will have to fix.
