Gillingham is determined to extend their play-off chase until the end, but securing a win this Saturday is imperative.
The recent victory against Barrow kept them in contention, but midweek outcomes didn’t favor them, making a top-seven finish unlikely. Facing Mansfield Town, who recently secured promotion, poses a tough challenge for Stephen Clemence’s team.
Clemence expressed their commitment to fighting and giving their best against Mansfield, although acknowledging the slim chance of reaching the play-offs.
Reflecting on the season, Clemence admits there are moments he wonders about and regrets, but he remains focused on the remaining games and aims to finish the campaign with positivity and momentum.
The club’s chairman, Brad Galinson, looks ahead to finishing the season strongly despite likely missing out on the play-offs, emphasizing the progress made on and off the pitch.
Clemence humorously mentioned Mansfield’s potential post-promotion celebrations, highlighting the challenges of facing a team playing without pressure. He recognizes the need for consistency and goal-scoring prowess to compete at the top level in the future.
