Cheltenham defender Jerry Gill is backing his team-mates to get over Saturday's defeat at Nottingham Forest.

He told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "We've been on a great run, five games unbeaten, and we'll bounce back on Saturday, I'm sure of it."

"We'll be focused on training during the week and I'm feeling really good about things," added the 37-year-old.

Saturday's 3-1 defeat ended the Robins' five-match unbeaten run and left them four points above the drop zone.

Gill reckons manager Keith Downing is pleased with the way his team-mates have been performing.

We're focused and ready for the Walsall game now Cheltenham defender Jerry Gill

"Keith has looked at individuals. When the chips are down and you're 3-1 down in the game - he's looked at characters.

"And I'm sure he'll say that there wasn't many lads that didn't give their all until the final whistle.

"That's important because we need everyone on this little run-in, we said a few weeks back that it's not over even when we're on a nice run and it certainly isn't, so our mindset is we're focused and ready for the Walsall game now."
