Justin Edinburgh believes his high-fliers are a team to be feared.

The Gills boss shrugged off talk about the form of some of their recent opposition, pointing out his own team’s success.

Edinburgh has kept his side involved at the top of League 1 throughout the first half of the season and head to Doncaster on Saturday sitting second.

The bullish boss said: “We played Wigan in form, we play Doncaster in form and we play Peterborough the following week but we are in good form.

“Sometimes we have to look at ourselves and talk about ourselves a bit more.

“That was only our sixth defeat from 26 games (at Wigan on Thursday night) and we are a form team. We had won our four games previous to that and Doncaster will be fearing us as well.”

Doncaster have lost just once in their last seven under Darren Ferguson as the Yorkshire side look to put early season relegation concerns behind them.

Edinburgh said: “They have had a resurgence under Darren and have got some good players. They are playing well and so are we.

“It’s another good game and one we are looking forward to. That will be the same as the next 20, they will all be big games and teams will have different reasons for wanting the points.

“We have been a form team since the first game, we have never been outside the top four.”
