Gillingham boss Mark Stimson is backing his team to go on another unbeaten home run.

Gillingham went on a nine-game unbeaten run in the first half of the season and that points haul has so far kept them away from the League 1 relegation scrap.

Stimson, pictured, is now eyeing a similar run of form at Priestfield after Brentford ended the sequence with a 1-0 win on Boxing Day.

He said: "We should never have lost that Brentford game, but we did well to get over that and played well against Exeter.

"Now we are back at home and we’ll be trying to put another run together and get to the same points tally as we did in our first 10 games at home.

"That was a great tally and if we could repeat that it would be fantastic. That would take us to really near the goal where we want to be.

"At home we’ve shown we are as good as anyone in this division."

The Gills' scheduled game against Tranmere at Priestfield on Saturday was postpostponed due to snow.
