Gillingham manager Gareth Ainsworth admits he’s frustrated with the results following another game without a win in League Two

Manager Gareth Ainsworth has asked the Gillingham fans to “stay with us” as he attempts to get their season back on track.

January is turning into an important month for the Gills, as Ainsworth looks to make changes to his squad, and also end a run of results that has seen them slip adrift of the promotion race in League 2.

Gillingham were due to head to Notts County on Sunday but that game was postponed on Saturday due to a frozen pitch.

Performance-wise, Ainsworth has been pleased with his team, but they haven’t had the cutting edge to make their chances count, as was evident in a 2-0 loss at Swindon on New Year’s Day.

“We're building, and we're getting these performances, but we need a win,” he said.

“We haven't won for so long now, and you don't get where you want to be without winning games.

“I’m really frustrated and it's about moments. If you get both boxes right, you're a very effective team. We almost got both boxes right, and almost isn't good enough; we've got to get it right.

“We've got to make sure it's 100% right, and we defend right. We got caught out (at Swindon) with two sloppy goals, and we tried and tried, but we couldn’t force that ball past (their goalkeeper).

“Swindon are up there for a reason (in second place), but when I match a team like Swindon, it makes me believe that we can do something, it's not like the massive job when I first walked in to turn around all this.

“We're so close. We'll put it right, it'll take time, but stay with us, and that's all I can say.”
