Preview: Gillingham manager Neil Harris looks ahead to their crucial League 1 match at Doncaster Rovers
Neil Harris has seen his Gillingham team bounce back from one set-back and has every confidence they can do it again.
The Gills were beaten 3-0 by Bolton last weekend at home and head to relegation rivals Doncaster Rovers this Saturday. An earlier 2-0 defeat to Plymouth was followed by a performance against Wimbledon that deserved more than a goalless draw and an eye-catching 2-0 win at Lincoln City.
Doncaster are a point and a place behind the Gills, having played a game more. Victory will be a huge boost for Harris’ men as they look to make further gains in their chase for survival.
Gills boss Harris said: “There is pressure on everyone at this stage of the season, what I know is that we are in a good place mentally and physically.
“We have to make sure we are improving all the time between now and the end of the season, with 10 games over a six-week period, we have to make sure we are a resolute, hard to beat and a horrible Gillingham team to play against, like we have been in previous games.
“We are three points away from the teams above us now. When I came in it was 10 points, credit to the players for the results and the turnaround. Other teams had games in hands as well, so we really have come a long way in a short space of time.
“We had a set-back on Saturday and there will be others between now and the end of the season, again it is how we deal with it, like we did after Plymouth. We did that with an excellent performance against Wimbledon and a win at Lincoln.
“We have to bounce back now with a big week infront of us. We are right in there fighting. We are very light in numbers, but we believe in each other and I believe in these players and that they are capable of winning games of football.”
