Gillingham's defeat at Carlisle leaves them fourth bottom in League 2 but goalkeeper Glenn Morris is confident things will improve

Gillingham goalkeeper Glenn Morris is confident their form will turn.

A scrappy own-goal was enough to beat them at Carlisle United on Saturday and leave the Gills sitting fourth bottom in League 2 with six games played.

With just one league goal scored in those six matches any pre-season confidence among supporters is quickly disappearing but experienced campaigner Morris is sure better times are around the corner.

Speaking after the 1-0 weekend loss, Morris said: “You can’t hide from it, we haven’t scored enough goals, but that could have been another 0-0, we have had a few, another 0-0 would have been something to build on.

“We have to start winning some games and scoring goals and I am sure we will, I am sure it will turn, it is still early but it is not the start we would have wanted and what we set out to start the season with, we just have to roll our sleeves up and go again.

“I am not overly worried, we have been solid, we limited them (Carlisle) to very few chances, most teams this season we have, that side of it has been good. We are building well going forward it is just that final bit of quality which will come, we just need it to come sooner rather than later.

“At the minute maybe there is a lack of confidence with that side of it, but it will take a goal like they scored against us, maybe a scrappy one, to hit someone and go in, then we will get two, three or four, that is the way football works, it will come I am sure.
