Gillingham manager Mark Bonner on his confidence in leading the team to success after owner Brad Galinson’s message on social media

Gillingham boss Mark Bonner believes he’s got the backing of those at the top as they seek to get their promotion chase back on track.

A poor run of form has led to frustration amongst the supporters, many of whom are hoping this year can be one of success in League 2.

Bonner’s confident that will still happen and only recently chairman Brad Galinson shared his views over social media that he remains confident in the team that’s been put together.

Bonner said: “They (owners) have been around for a week or so, so I see them every day. I speak to them all the time. I think we're all in exactly the same boat really.

“Number one, we're all frustrated that we haven't won for a while. Number two, we all think we've got a group of people that can take the club forward. Number three, we're really impatient and we want it to happen quickly.

“Number four, we balance that by understanding we know it takes time and the development of this team, squad, club is going to take time. That means transfer windows and it means development time and it means time for change.

“I think everybody just understands that the cycle of just constantly changing at the top of the club, it rarely works.

“It might work for a few weeks but it rarely works for longer term. Anything you want to build takes time. I think everybody's understanding that.”

An update from the #Gills manager as Bradley Dack’s set for an intensive week away, Ethan Coleman’s back available and plenty of others aren’t far off
