Gillingham defender Tom Wynter keen to end winless run against Brentford
by Matthew Panting
Defender Tom Wynter has more reason than most to end
Gillingham’s winless run at Brentford on Saturday.
The Gills are seven games without a win while Wynter,
pictured, has yet to taste a victory in the first team –
making him doubly determined to set the record straight.
"We’ve had lots of draws but it will be good to get that first
win," said Wynter.
"It would be a great time to start as well, especially with it
being a local derby.
"We haven’t lost in the last three league games and in some of
those matches we should have got a couple of wins but we haven’t
managed to do it."
The 19-year-old has also caught the eye of supporters after he
was named The KM Group’s player-of-the-month for January.
"I’m quite happy with how I’ve played," added Wynter. "I’m still
being picked in the team so I must be doing something right."
Wynter, who enjoyed a loan spell at Dover earlier this season,
is also playing for a new contract as his one-year extension runs
out in the summer.
"I’m still playing for my future – in every training session and
game I’m trying to improve," he said.
"The manager hasn’t said anything yet but I have to keep working
hard."
