Gills boss has challenged his players to be better next season following 2-2 draw with Doncaster on the final day of the 2023/24 campaign.
Stephen Clemence has called for a 'shift in mentality' after his Gillingham side showed two different sides to their game in an eventful 2-2 draw with Doncaster.
The Gills looked set for a loss after trailing high-flying Doncaster 2-0 at the interval, but team valiantly fought back to earn their share of the spoils. Clemence, however, insists his players need to show that second-half determination throughout each and every 90 minutes next season.
"We showed great character in the second half," said Clemence.
"I have now challenged them as far as next season, we have to have a mentality where we take that into 90 minutes. We will try and get some help for the boys and improve the team and squad but going forward we have to have a winning mentality.
“I would have loved to have won it for the supporters, that would have been nice. People have talked about coming from behind and not scoring enough in games so it would have been nice if it ended that way, but it hasn’t.
“They still showed good character to come back and get a point, but I’m still frustrated, to be honest. I always come into a game wanting to get a win.
“To come from two goals behind and get a point, well done, but I wish we had started the first half like that and it would have been a different game.
“We have finished where we deserved to finish and now we all have to look forward together as a group and a football club to try and make improvements to make us better next season and that’s certainly what I will be aiming to do.”
