The Shouting Men: Gillingham midfielder Andrew Crofts writes exclusively for the KM Group

It’s wicked to have a few players back from injury and seeing how hungry they are to get back gives everyone else a lift.

It is massive to get Bradley Dack, John Egan and Cody McDonald back.

I have heard a lot of good things about all three. I knew Cody from Norwich and Dack and Egan were on top form before their injuries. They will be massive additions.

I am a big football fan and always keep tabs on everyone in any league and Dack is one who has stood out for a while now.

He has scored a lot of goals, creates a lot of goals, is bright, busy and a great player. He’s a good talent and a funny guy as well.

He is a big character in the changing room and I can’t wait to get onto the same pitch as him. I think we will play well together.

I have trained with Dack and Egan a couple of times and straight away you can see the quality and how much they love playing football and how they can’t wait to get playing again.

That’s what I like to see, those players who really want to play football. You can tell they have that enthusiasm and hunger to get back out on the pitch.

It’s been great to see the boys do so well and the next seven games, starting with Sheffield United on Saturday, are going to be exciting.

This is why you want to be a player. To be in these games, to fight to make sure you stay in the automatics or play-offs.

I have played at Bramall Lane a few times. They get good crowds, they are a massive club and we are going there full of confidence and unbeaten in five.

We have been unbeaten in the three games I have played in and I would love my time here to be undefeated.
