Eli King is anticipating another tough game that will present different challenges as Gillingham travel to York City on Saturday.
The 23-year-old midfielder knows that the Gills need to go to York and be themselves, while restricting their opponents from doing what they are successful at as they look to continue their strong run of form.
King realises the importance of remaining intense and hungry as Gillingham look to continue to build momentum, and he praised the leaders in the dressing room who have helped develop the mentality in the camp.
He also discussed playing League Two football, and how his previous experiences in the division have helped prepare him for the unpredictability that it brings.
On facing York City...
It is another thing that I have learnt playing in League Two, where sometimes you might get two big wins against two teams that are likely to be up there, and then you are rolling into the next one thinking that it will be easy, but it never is in League Two. Every game is extremely tough, and you get presented with different challenges every week.
York will present us with big challenges that are different to Tranmere and different to Bristol Rovers, so we have to be ready for that. We will do all of the preparation that is required this week, and it's about going to York and trying to be ourselves, but also knowing what they are about and trying to best prevent what they do well.
Mentality in the group...
The boys are positive, and training has still been really good this week, which I think is good when you are on a good streak to sort of maintain that intensity and the hunger. We are looking to carry that on and carry the momentum on, and not settle for three wins in this league. It's about 46 games, not three. We are looking to carry the momentum on.
I think that you probably learn that with experience. League One and League Two, you might have a few experiences of winning a few games and thinking that you've cracked it, and then you get bit. It's so important and good that we have got leaders in the group that can enforce that mentality as well. People that have been there and done it, and are going to make sure that people stay on it. It's good that we have that as well.
Playing in League Two...
It's a league that I have played in before. I knew what to expect; again, that was a massive help. I had two loan spells a bit earlier on. I was not even 20 when I was with Crewe and Morecambe, and the second time with Morecambe I felt like I had a decent bit of success. I knew what to expect, which is good because when you don't know what to expect in League Two, you can get a shock. It's chaotic, unpredictable, and anyone can beat anyone.
We didn't win in the first three or four games, then put three wins together. It can happen every week with different teams. I am just trying to do what I can in and amongst all that chaos. That has been the main goal, and to be myself.
