Gillingham v Tranmere Rovers preview: Team news and comment from Gills boss Neil Harris ahead of League 2 match at Priestfield

Gillingham manager Neil Harris has no concerns over their recent lack of goals - as they look to pick up a first win in four this Saturday.

The Gills put on a defiant display against Stockport in midweek to emerge with a well-earned goalless draw but last weekend’s match at lowly Harrogate was more frustrating, as Harris’ men struggled to find a way to goal, in another 0-0 finish.

Prior to those long away journeys, the Gills were beaten 2-0 at home to Bradford City at the end of February.

“I am not concerned,” said Harris, having seen his side score more frequently since bringing in a new strike force during January.

“My thought process is that I want to win games, if you can’t win then don’t lose, and that is why we went to Stockport with a mindset of keeping a clean sheet.

“We weren’t able to pick many of the players that have done so well for me over the last few months (because of injury and illness) and we went to not get beat.

“Against Harrogate we had enough good play and football from box to box to have created more chances than we did, and while we have moments like that in a game we will score goals.”

Gillingham’s defensive show against Stockport left them without a shot on target, while they managed two in each the previous two games. Since mid-January their goals had picked up with 14 in eight games.

Harris said: “I was frustrated (after Harrogate) because we had enough ball and enough really good passages of play, eight to 10, maybe 12, from box to box and we didn’t quite have that end product in the final third.

“We could have won that game 4-0 had we been a bit more front-foot. I was frustrated but also delighted with the clean sheet.

“Stockport was different. Had we gone and played toe to toe against them
