After ending table-topping Crawley Town’s unbeaten 15 game run, Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler has insisted that his side won’t get carried away despite extending their own unbeaten league run to nine games. Speaking to BBC Radio Kent Hessenthaler said, “Let’s hope it carries on, we won’t get carried away with the win today.”
In spite of a man disadvantage, following a poorly-timed, last ditch tackle from Claude Davis, Crawley took a first half lead through Matt Tubbs’ penalty. The resilience of the ten men, who held out until the second half, indicated Hessenthaler’s initial impression that the Red Devils are clear promotion contenders. He continued, “We’ve come to the league leaders and rightly so they are league leaders, you can see why. They will be there at the end without a shadow of a doubt.”Gillingham’s victory has cemented their place in the League Two playoff places, but one final message from Hessenthaler will keep Gills fan’s feet firmly planted heading into a prosperous-looking 2012. “We've shown what we're about. We're capable and have a very good squad but let's not get carried away.”
