Manager Comments:

Kenny Lunt [Player Development Manager ] - “Gillingham are top of the league and we watched them against Grimsby in the week and they were unfortunate not to get the points.


“They had most of the play and chances but, credit to Grimsby, they took their chance when they got it.

“We’ve seen that there’s not much between the sides in League Two and everyone can beat everyone; it’s just about trying to be consistent."

 

Mark Bonner - “They'll be a good side with the ball, no question, and you won't be shocked to hear I watched quite a lot of them last year and that's a little bit why Aaron Rowe and Elliott Nevitt arrived here.

“Those two have got a bit of an idea maybe what might be to come."
