Gillingham captain Max Ehmer is confident the players can dig themselves out of the losing run they’re in

Gillingham captain Max Ehmer insists they’ve got the character to get out of the rut they’re in.

Manager Mark Bonner questioned his players’ approach to going ahead in games - losing from a 1-0 lead on Saturday against Accrington - urging them to “play with some intensity and some character.”

It’s three straight losses for the Gills as they’ve seen the goals dry up and some unusually shaky defending causing issues at the other end.

It will be down to the likes of Ehmer to get them back on track.

“It’s not a good dressing room at the moment, with three losses on the bounce” admitted the captain, following Saturday’s loss.

“But there's big enough characters within the squad and staff to get us where we want to get to. We can't keep saying it, we've got to start doing it, but we've got to bounce back quickly.

“We've lacked many moments of quality in that final third and in the opponent's half, which we're just letting teams off too easily at the moment. The quality is not there, like I've said a few times now, but we've got to get that right for us to win games.

“When defeats come back-to-back, it hurts more, so obviously losing three on a spin is tough, but it's making sure that we've got the characters to bounce out of it because every team's going to go through blips at some point of the season.

“The quicker you get out of it, the better it is.”
