Gills boss Mark Stimson is asking fans to be patient with his team

Gillingham manager Mark Stimson has admitted the pressure is on him after his side's 3-0 loss at Exeter - their third successive away defeat.

Stimson told BBC Radio Kent he felt many Gills fans who travelled to Devon were left questioning his future.

"Possibly out of the 400, 399 would probably say 'get rid of the manager'.

"'He's not good enough, he hasn't bought the players in that are going to get us out of this league'. I'd argue that of course," said Stimson.

"All I'd say to them is keep supporting the team because they need it - probably more so now than ever."
