Northampton v Gillingham

GILLINGHAM manager Mark Stimson knows a victory needs to come soon – and he doesn't care how.

The Gills slipped into the League 1 relegation zone in the week, after their game against Luton was postponed and Stimson's side have gone six games without a win.

Stimson takes his side to Northampton on Saturday and he knows the importance of ending that poor run soon.

He said: "We'll take an ugly win on Saturday definitely to get three points.

"We want the perfect scenario. We want to play well and get the three points but results and points are the most important thing for the next three or four weeks."

Wins for Crewe and Millwall on Tuesday saw Gillingham drop into the relegation places for the first time since Stimson took over in November.

Dennis Oli (fitness) and Nicky Southall (hamstring) both trained in the week and will be available again but Mark Bentley (ankle) remains a doubt.
