Gillingham v Notts County preview: Gills manager John Coleman looks ahead to the League 2 match at Priestfield (kick-off 12.30pm)

Gillingham manager John Coleman is hoping to make Priestfield an uncomfortable place for Notts County to visit this Saturday.

Coleman’s managed to add some new faces to the squad in recent weeks, and he’s seen signs of progress in their play, but badly needs a win.

County start the weekend sitting third in the League 2 table, with wins from each of their last three away games, scoring 10 goals in the process. It’s the kind of form the Gills need to get their own season going.

Coleman said: “I went to watch Notts County over the Christmas period play at Salford (where they lost 3-0). Their results and the performances have improved since then.

“Whoever you play at home, we've got to make it more difficult for them than what they do to us and whilst you do your homework on them and you're mindful of their threats, you really have to focus on your own performances.

“We'll be looking to try and get our act together and try and score our first goal of our own volition this year.

“I want it to be uncomfortable for Notts County when they come here on Saturday.

“I want our fans to be part of the process so they feel as though they've contributed to the win. They can do that by getting right behind the team, by being very, very vocal.

“I know you're not going to get everybody so positive, but try and get as many people as you can.

“The first 20-25 minutes against Doncaster (last time at home) were excellent. The crowd really got behind us.

“I can fully understand we conceded a stupid goal and it deflated the fans.

“I just plead with them
