Amid talk of a play-off push, Gills boss Justin Edinburgh is keen to keep his players focused on Saturday's tricky match at Yeovil.
Successive wins over three of League 1’s big teams have raised expectation levels at Priestfield ahead of a visit to the division’s basement side.
But Edinburgh knows the dangers that can lie ahead.
“We know how quickly it can turn around,” said the Gills boss. “One minute you are looking up and then all of a sudden you are looking down.
“We will remain focused, we won’t get carried away, but getting to know the group, day in day out, that won’t happen. We will keep working hard and try and improve every day.
“We have to approach this game in exactly the same way. We have to be as positive as we have been in the last seven games, we have to approach them with the right mentality, the same work ethic and if we do that then we can get something out of the game.
“If we for one minute underestimate them or don’t apply ourselves as we have done in the run we are in, then we will come unstuck. It is my job to make sure we don’t get carried away, which we won’t. We need to remain grounded and focused on the job in hand."
The Gills could again be unchanged for the trip. Aaron Morris and Josh Pritchard are back in training but may need another week before being available for selection.
