Gillingham take on Sutton United in League 2 this Friday night at Priestfield as they look to get back on track

The pressure is mounting for Gillingham and head coach Stephen Clemence knows it.

Supporter frustration was evident at Priestfield on Boxing Day after a 2-0 defeat against Crawley Town. Strugglers Sutton United are next up tonight (Friday).

With just one point from their last three games, no goals scored and a fall to 14th place in League 2, Clemence knows the score.

He said: “I have been in the game a long time and I know that if you don’t win, you go a few games without three points and pressure builds.

“I understand that, but I know in the dressing room they are giving their all, they are trying to do their best, they are not setting out to go and draw at Forest Green and lose at home to Crawley, they are doing the best they can. I can see that, I see it every day on the training ground.

“I see a willingness from them to try and improve. I have to tell them when things aren’t right and I am prepared to do that, I have told them that, but I will support them, I will continue to do that.”

“What I think we need to do is all stick together.” The #Gills head coach calls for unity after a disappointing run of results. More here
