On-loan Gillingham goalkeeper Tommy Forecast happy to step into the limelight when required
by Luke
Cawdell
Tommy Forecast insists he
is content to be playing a bit-part role for Gillingham.
The on-loan Southampton keeper,
pictured, made only his third appearance for the
Gills on Saturday when he replaced the suspended
Stuart Nelson for the FA Cup defeat at Preston. But it’s a
situation the 26-year-old is happy to live with.
He said: "It felt good out there
to play for 90 minutes and get a game under my belt. It was a big
game for us and the FA Cup made it even more special.
"Myself and Stuart have a good
professional relationship and he has done well and the team has
done well.
"I have no complaints on that
and it is just good to be part of a successful team – we’re working
hard together. You have to be professional."
Forecast has been with the Gills
since the summer, moving as part exchange on a season-long
loan when Paulo Gazzaniga left for St Mary's. His only other
start for the club came in September’s JPT defeat at
Crawley.
Nelson is likely to return for
the League 2 trip to Rotherham, but Forecast won’t be
sulking.
"You just don’t know what’s
going to happen," he added. "You always have to be on your toes and
prepared."
