Gillingham top scorer Bradley Dack has had to up his game since becoming a marked man in League 1

00:00, 27 November 2015

Bradley Dack is getting a buzz from being the man to watch.

Gillingham's attacking midfielder hit his 10th goal of the season on Tuesday night in the 2-0 win over Rochdale.

He’s being singled out by many teams for close supervision and that’s a confidence boost.
“If people try and stop me I take that as a compliment,” he said.

“I up my game because I have to do a little bit more as people are trying to stop me from playing.”

Many teams have struggled to contain the player who looks to have a bright future ahead.
His early opener against Rochdale helped settle the nerves after the 4-1 defeat at Coventry on Saturday.

Dack said: “It was a nice way to bounce back and we have got Saturday straight out of our system. Getting a win was the first thing on our mind.

“It was a great move (for the goal) and great work from Ryan Jackson to win the ball back, Emmanuel Osadebe carried the ball up the pitch and then a great touch from Dominic Samuel put it into my path. I just had to find the corner.

"Hopefully I can keep chipping in with the goals but that is not the most important thing – it’s getting three points.”
