Hard work is key to Gillingham
rekindling their winning form, insists captain Andy
Frampton.
The skipper returned to the team
at Accrington Stanley on Saturday but witnessed another defensive
nightmare in the 4-3 defeat.
"We are beating ourselves at the
moment and that has to stop," said the 32-year-old, who was back in
the side following an ankle injury.
"Everyone is going to have to
knuckle down and work hard.
"In my career, personally, I
find that if you work harder when the chips are down you get your
rewards and that’s what everyone is going to have to do.
"At the beginning of the season
I said there would be tough times and we are in one at the moment.
We need to make sure it turns round for us – and
quickly."
Frampton
(pictured) described the side’s opening half as "awful" but
drew a little comfort from the way they responded after the
break.
"We are bitterly disappointed,"
he said. "We were awful in the first half and in the second we went
out to prove how we can play and how we should have played in the
first half.
"We had no excuses, we were well
below par to what we wanted from our trip."
It was the team’s third straight
defeat in League 2 but Frampton knows that as the captain he needs
to assist in picking the team up.
He said: "Younger lads will look
up to me to see how I react and I will hopefully come back with a
positive outlook on it and make sure we go again next
week.
"There are no cracks at all in
our changing room and we are very together."
