Gillingham captain Armani Little is calling for everybody associated with the Football Club to stick together as the squad prepare to take on the second half of the league campaign.
A couple of postponements will give players and staff alike to spend some time on the training pitch and reset as the Gills look to reduce the gap to the sides above.
Little says that the team have been continuing to work hard on areas that they need to improve on, and is looking forward to getting more players back fit ahead of next Saturday's visit of Newport.
The former AFC Wimbledon man knows how tight the division is, and that getting back to winning ways could see them quickly rise into a higher position. However he admitted that the key moments in games have to start going their way again.
On the extended time off before the next league game...
The game was off [Notts County], but we were working on things that we need to improve, and going into the second half of the season, we can put things right, hopefully.
It gives us two weeks until our next game now, so it gives us a real focus on what we need to do for the second half of the season, and pushing on to where we want to be and need to be. Getting bodies back in will be brilliant, especially those two [Jonny Smith and Garath McCleary], they will be a big part of our squad.
Being on the right end of big moments in games and how close the division is...
You have seen how fast we have dropped down the table, but it happens the opposite way. You can win one or two games and get right back up there. I don't think that it is all doom and gloom. I think that, on the whole, over the last few weeks, we have played okay. At the start of the season, we were probably taking points and not playing as well as we are now, or creating as many chances.
That is football, it is the key moments that aren't going our way at the minute, and we have to find a way to change that.
Sticking together as a Football Club...
Stick with us. There are 66 points to play for. I don't think that the football has been going exactly our way as well as we would have wanted it to recently. There is so much football to be played, and I know what this squad and staff can do.
