We deserved to have won, says Gillingham goalkeeper Alan Julian

Julian felt Gillingham deserved maximum points against
Walsall after barely being troubled by the hosts.
An early double save from
Julian kept Walsall out and they had little more to offer.
He said: "We were in control of the
game, the boys played well and we were unlucky not to get the win.
Our performance deserved it.
"There wasn’t a lot more we could
have done other than sticking the ball in the back of the net. In
terms of our performance it was up there but we weren’t beaten so
that’s a positive.
"I was buzzing after the clean
sheet. I grabbed hold of Darren (Dennehy) and Josh (Gowling) after
the Colchester game because we hadn’t got a clean sheet for a while
and I said ‘that’s it now, we are going to stay solid and we need
to make sure we are on it.’
"Last week we were solid at
Hartlepool and unlucky not to get a win. On Saturday we were
unlucky again but a clean sheet was a big plus.
"If we keep building and confidence
builds we’ll get a win before long."
With fellow keeper Simon Royce
nearing full fitness after recovering from injury Julian will face
some tough competition soon.
He’s not concerned though and is
just focusing on trying to do his best.
"This run of games has been nice
because the longest I’ve ever played is four games and I feel a lot
more like myself again," said Julian.
"Sometimes I rant and rave and do
things that make people laugh but that’s the way I am. I definitely
feel more like myself and I’m confident.
"If you want to get on in the game
you have to perform and it could be Peter Schmeichel behind me, it
doesn’t matter, I have to do what I have to do."
