The Gills play fellow strugglers Luton Town on Tuesday looking for their first win in seven games, and their first league goal at home in 2008.

"The challenge starts now. I'm really looking forward to the next four games - three at home and one away," Stimson told BBC Radio Kent.

The Gills are currently two places above the League One relegation zone.

Stimson added: "If we play as well as we did early on in the game against Oldham, in those four games time we could be talking about a totally different position in the league."

"I came here to take the club into the play-offs this year. It isn't out of the way but we have to be realistic and say where we are and deal with it."
