Manager Comments:
Gareth Ainsworth: “They are a very good side in possession of the football, and we are going to have to be at our best, as always, to get something out of the game. It is my first league game back at home, and I am sure that the place will be rocking, and I am sure that Crawley will bring a few from just around the corner.
“I expect the boys to step up and have the momentum that they had from the last 20 minutes at Bristol Rovers, which was just tremendous. Hopefully, we can win the game Saturday.”
Scott Lindsey: “It’s down the road. Of course, it is an away game, but it’s not that far. So I expect my team to be ready and firing on all four cylinders.
“A win and a good performance is what I want to see.”
Previous Meetings:
Gills snapped a run of three successive defeats, as they beat Crawley Town at the MEMS Priestfield Stadium for the first time in the league in March 2014.
The only goal of the game came in the final minutes. Jake Hessenthaler’s corner was swung deep into the penalty area, finding Leon Legge, who headed the ball back across the box. It fell to an unmarked Charlie Lee, who made enough contact with his half-volley to put it into the back of the net from six yards out.
