Dennis Oli was on target for Gillingham

Dennis Oli struck Gills' winner in the 1-0 victory over Accrington on Saturday’s and then insisted there’s more to come from him.

The forward netted the only goal of the game to earn Gillingham their first points on home turf.

He said: “The keeper was pulling off some saves but the good thing is we’re creating some chances and one had to go in sooner rather than later and luckily for us it did.

“I was over the moon and I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t run and celebrate too far as I was a bit tired and it didn’t help when Curtis (Weston) jumped on my back!

“Now I’ve got off the mark I feel confident that I can go into the next game and think, I can do it again and get into the right areas and I know that chances will fall to me.

“It’s just up to me if I’m going to take it or not.

“They say it’s better to score late than never. Hopefully we can get one or two in the first half now and settle down in the second and we’ll see how it goes.

“It’s a long season and there will be ups and downs.

“Hopefully we can have more ups than downs and we can get that promotion which we want at the end of the season.”
