Gillingham goalkeeper Glenn Morris on keeping themselves out of relegation trouble at the foot of League 2

Gillingham goalkeeper Glenn Morris admits the League 2 relegation scrap is too close for comfort.

Morris pulled off a superb late stop to help ensure the Gills picked up a point against bottom club Carlisle United, a game that ended goalless.

Coleman: ‘It feels like we’re cursed!’

That point increased the gap between the Gills and the drop zone to nine points.

It’s a reasonable gap, with the Gills having the luxury of a couple of games in hand over second-from-bottom Morecambe, but it’s not big enough to be complacent said the keeper after their weekend draw with Carlisle.

Morris said: “I think now everyone's stepping up to the plate on that pitch and putting an effort in.

“We're obviously disappointed not to have won the game [at Carlisle] but it’s a tricky place to come go. I've been in football a long time and I don't think I've won many games there so it's a good solid point.

“It keeps us a bit further away from the danger zone.

“We don't want to look at that but we have to be realistic. It was a must-not-lose game really and we managed to get that but obviously, for us, we wanted to win it and we felt like we were the better team.

“This is where we are at the minute. We didn't want to be in this position but we are and if we'd have lost to them then we'd have got a lot closer to it.

“(If we) just keep picking up points then we won't have to worry about it.

“We don't want to get closer and closer. We want to get our work done early with these games left to go and make sure we're pulling away and looking up rather than down. That's what we want to do and that's the main aim.”
