Gillingham manager Justin Edinburgh says there will be no complacency against strugglers Blackpool

00:01, 11 September 2015

Manager Justin Edinburgh is gearing up for Gillingham’s hardest test so far this season.

The League 1 leaders will be hot favourites when strugglers Blackpool come to town and that could pose problems.

The Gills boss doesn’t want anyone to think the game on Saturday will be a walkover and he’s been drumming that into his players.

Edinburgh said: “Our home form has been excellent and the next one is the biggest one. I have no doubt that everyone coming here on Saturday is thinking it is going to be a comfortable victory for us.

“This is our toughest one and since the final whistle last Saturday, that is all I have been rubbing into our players.

“It is going to be a difficult match. I need the crowd to be at their best, in terms of atmosphere and the noise level that needs to be generated because we need to do it together.

“These games are the tricky ones. As a club, when we have the big guns we get up for it but these are the important ones, the ones that are potential banana skins.”

Blackpool, relegated from the Championship last season with just 26 points, won for the first time in 25 games last weekend, scraping a 1-0 win at Scunthorpe.
