Teams fear trip to Gillingham - Ainsworth

Gillingham boss Gareth Ainsworth says he believes some opponents in League Two are "fearing" visits to Priestfield Stadium. The Gills were held to a goalless draw by Newport County on Saturday, after impressing in wins over Bristol Rovers and Tranmere Rovers in their previous two home league games. "I think the teams that are probably looking at surviving in the league are going to come here and shut up shop," Ainsworth told BBC Radio Kent . "[They will say] let's stop Gillingham doing what they do, because everyone is now looking at us going, the way you're playing, you're good at home. "I wanted Priestfield to be this place and now they're fearing it. "That's the first step. Let's get the second step and start scoring some goals here." Ainsworth added: "Newport have come and sat in. They've changed their style, they've gone five at the back and denied all the space in behind and sat in their half. "It's tough to break a team down like that, but what we have to do is take it as a massive compliment." All the latest Gillingham news
