Gillingham coach Mark Moss looks ahead to the visit of Notts County as they seek a response from away drubbing at Walsall

Gillingham have “the perfect game” to respond to last weekend’s disappointment at Walsall.

The Gills had interim manager Keith Millen sent off for tripping a Walsall player and went on to lose 4-1, a fourth straight away league defeat of the season.

Facing them on Saturday at Priestfield are a Notts County side who started last weekend top of League 2 before suffering their own 4-1 reverse, at home to local rivals Mansfield.

Gillingham youth team boss Mark Moss has been assisting Millen during the interim period between managers and he’s hoping the pair get a response this weekend.

“We have to bounce back and we have the perfect game at home to Notts County,” he said.

“At home we’ve been generally pretty good. We obviously have to address the away form but this is a perfect game.

“We will look at where we have gone wrong, where we can put things right, what we can do better.”

The Gills have already lost five games this season, four away, and Moss knows this has to be put right. They head to Swindon Town on Tuesday night, another side riding high in League 2.

“We know we have to be better on the road,” he said. “We have got to address the away form.

“As a coaching team we will look at it, see what we can do differently and we will come back I am sure. The coaching team have been brilliant so far.”

County have laid on free travel for 500 of their supporters in what will be the club’s 5,000th Football League fixture and after suffering their own heavy defeat, they too will be looking for an instant response with their boss Matt Palmer saying: “Hopefully we can put it right and give the fans something to cheer about.”
