Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler believes his side can catch up

Gillingham ended the weekend nine
points off the top of League 2 but boss Andy Hessenthaler believes
the gap remains within reach.
After four games the Gills are
still waiting for their first win, in a season where promotion is
all that anyone is concerned with, but Hessenthaler (pictured) is
keeping calm.
The Gills have lost once and drawn
three times, including 1-1 at Morecambe on Saturday, during a
frustrating first month.
"We just need to get those wins as
soon as possible or we will end up playing catch up and we don’t
want to do that too much," said Hessenthaler.
"We will bridge that gap if we keep
playing the way we are. Morecambe were in the play-offs last year
and we pretty much destroyed them but unfortunately only came away
with a point.
"We are becoming the draw
specialists, which is not nice, but we’re unbeaten away from home
and it will come."
Gillingham have scored just twice
in their opening four league matches, and the lack of conviction in
attack is proving costly.
Hessenthaler said: "We have to show
a bit more composure in front of goal but if we weren’t creating
chances it would be more of a concern to me."
Will Gillingham be able to
make up the gap quickly? Have your say below.
