Nick Freeman was glad that Gillingham could bounce back following their defeat in the FA Cup as they beat Northampton Town 2-1 to advance to the next round of the Jersey Mike's Trophy.
Freeman was pleased with the performance of the team at Sixfields and was impressed with how they overcame the adversity they faced during the game.
The right wing-back discussed the patterns of football that the team played during the win and has enjoyed his run in the side as he has settled into playing one position.
Thoughts on the victory...
I am really happy with the performance today, really happy with the result, and getting through to the next round was exactly what the task was before the game. Obviously, getting knocked out of the FA Cup early on at the weekend; we had to bounce back and go through to the next round of the EFL Trophy.
We are really happy with the way that we performed. Getting a couple of injuries early on, I thought that we rose to the occasion. We had a bit of adversity, and we overcame it. I am really proud of us.
Being involved in the play of the game...
It is always nice getting lots of touches on the ball. We played some nice stuff out from the back. It was really enjoyable, and I am sure that all of the lads enjoyed it.
We were really effective in that shape as well. We had lots of fresh players coming on and did really well. It was really good.
His run in the team and the stability of playing in one position...
I am really enjoying having a run in the team. It's a great bunch of lads and a great staff. I really enjoy being here and getting into a rhythm being set in one position. I am usually used to playing multiple positions in one game, let alone the season, so it's nice to get that rhythm going and playing in the same position.
I am thoroughly enjoying it.
