Gillingham manager Mark Stimson says Charlton derby win would be Gills' biggest result of the season

Manager Mark Stimson was in bullish mood this week ahead of the
trip to The Valley on Saturday.
He said: "We have enjoyed the fantastic weather this week. There
is a good mood in the camp. We have got four points from six and
have got a big game coming up.
"The supporters have been looking forward to this one. This is
one of the ones they look out for first when the fixtures are
released at the start of the season. There have not been many games
between the sides in the last few years.
"It will be a great game for us and we have an army coming to
support us. I’m told we have sold 2,500 tickets."
The Gills’ last trip to the capital in early February ended in a
4-0 defeat at Brentford in front of a big away following and
Stimson said he hoped to avoid a repeat peformance.
He added: "Every away game we take big numbers with us, we did
at Brentford and even at Stockport last week we had big numbers. We
want to make the supporters proud in every game but that wasn’t the
case in the Brentford game.
"If we can peform on Saturday like we did in the first game
against Charlton, then we have every chance.
"They are not on the best of runs but they are a good side. They
have got quality, a lot of speed and experience.
"We have a lot of potential in our squad but they have players
who have been there, seen it and done it."
