DESPITE Gillingham's return to the top half of the League 1 table, manager Ronnie Jepson has played down their outside chances of making the play-offs.

Saturday's 1-0 win over Bradford City at Priestfield lifted the Gills to 12th in the table, eight points behind Tranmere Rovers who occupy the final play-off place.

But Jepson said: "We take each game as it comes. If we get another three or four wins, then we can start looking up there.

"If you start making silly predictions you end up with egg on your face."

The Gills are away to Northampton on Friday evening.
