Gillingham manager Mark Stimson says club must stop relying on Simeon Jackson for goals

Gillingham boss Mark Stimson has
called on his players to stop relying on Simeon Jackson.
The 17-goal leading scorer,
pictured, is the only player other than Chris Dickson, with
one, to have scored for the Gills in their last 11 outings.
Stimson said: "We just need to
get someone to help Jackson with the goals and (start) sharing it
out.
"It would be nice if one or two others
could pop up and get the goals but it’s the hardest thing in the
game to put the ball into the net."
The Gills have tightened up
defensively in recent weeks but going forward they have struggled.
Stimson’s men have netted just six times since the turn of the year
and the sight of Jackson limping out of Saturday’s 0-0 draw at
Stockport was worrying.
"His hamstring tightened up so we got
him off straight away," said Stimson.
"Hopefully it’s not too serious but
we’ll wait and see."
Curtis Weston is Gillingham’s second
top scorer, with eight, but he hasn’t scored since the start of
December.
Stimson said: "It’s a concern because
you want to score goals but then the next best is that you don’t
concede. We have enough strikers and hopefully in the next
couple of weeks someone will chip in with a few."
