Gillingham’s Jonny Williams insists there is still plenty of time to get back in the promotion mix this season.

Wrexham won the match 2-0. Williams said: “We know we have to create more, we need to score more, we also have to have a platform to be hard to beat. “Conceding two was frustrating.
Had we got the penalty, or had Shad scored the goal, I think we could have gone on and scored two or three. We were moving the ball well, better than in past games but I don’t think it’s through lack of effort. “Everyone was down in the changing room afterwards.
We gave our all and it hasn’t happened. “We know we need to be better next week at home and there are 29 games left so we need to put it into perspective, we have seen weirder things happen in this league. “Bristol Rovers came out of nowhere a couple of years ago and got third place and they were a lot worse off than we are at the moment. “It was a low changing room, frustrated and downbeat. “To have so many fans follow us, over 1,000 is brilliant from Kent, it means the world to us and we thank them for their support and it’s a shame we couldn’t give them something to cheer about. “But when you go 1-0 down in a game so early it’s an uphill battle, especially against a team like Wrexham,
