Miller struggled with a hernia injury last season

Gillingham midfielder Adam Miller has insisted he will not let abuse from fans ruin his career at Priestfield.

The 26-year-old, who scored his third goal of the season in their victory over Chesterfield, has been left baffled by the boos and jeers he gets.

He told BBC Radio Kent: "I think it's very poor when you get booed off, jeered off and singled out. I just think that's disgusting.

"But I'm too mentally strong for any of them to break me."

Miller added: "If they want to do that, then stay at home. If they're a bit hen-pecked then stay at home and have a row with the Mrs.

"If they want to have a go, I'll tell them now they can crack on, but they won't break me.

If you tell him he's the best, you'll get more out of him Gillingham manager Mark Stimson on Adam Miller

Gills manager Mark Stimson said he felt many fans have a problem with Miller because he has come from non-league football.

"If you look at his games and his goals and his assists he hasn't done badly and there's a lot more from him to come," said Stimson.

"I've worked with him for a few years and I know what he's like.

"If you tell him he's the best, you'll get more out of him.

"He'll slowly win them round but it won't affect him because he's a strong character."
