Interim boss Peter Taylor believes one goal will spark a flurry from striker Conor Wilkinson.

The frontman missed several chances to score for the Gills at Blackburn on Saturday and has yet to find the target in his nine games played this season.

He moved to the club on a permanent deal from Bolton in the summer.

Taylor said: “I think Conor Wilkinson is a little low on confidence at the moment. We saw on Saturday that he does some good things and he does some not-so-good things.

“He needs a goal. If he gets a goal I fancy him to get a lot of goals, because he is that good a player. But we haven’t seen it yet, our supporters haven’t seen it.

“We have seen it in training but we haven’t seen it in matches. He got suspended after the first game and so he has had a very stop-start season.”

The Gills have now gone three games without a goal and Taylor admits they don’t have a lot of them in the squad.

“I don’t think we are ever going to be two or 3-0 winners but we can scrape wins and be organised,” he said.

“I don’t think we have a 20-30 goal-a-year man in the team, so I feel we are a team that need to be organised and need to try and win 1-0. That is how we are.”

Striker Liam Nash was that 20-30 goal striker in non-league football but he is yet to fire for the Gills. He was left out of the squad on Saturday.

“He needs to be better than the ones who are starting,” said Taylor, when asked about Nash’s omission.
