Salford City manager Karl Robinson has maintained confidence in his team’s pursuit of automatic promotion following their goalless draw against Gillingham. The match, played on Saturday, ended 0-0, with Salford unable to capitalize on several opportunities, including a close effort when Ros Longelo struck the crossbar.

Despite the setback, Robinson emphasized his players’ commitment and resilience. He highlighted that his squad is still within reach of the promotion places, currently positioned three points shy of the top three. “My players are giving everything they’ve got. They’re leaving everything on the pitch,” Robinson said, expressing satisfaction with the team’s determination.

From Gillingham’s perspective, manager Gareth Ainsworth praised his side's performance, describing it as a “tough, stubborn display.” The visitors focused on containing Salford’s attacking threats and secured a valuable point on the road.

The result leaves both sides seeking to build momentum as the season progresses. Salford’s ambition for automatic promotion remains intact, while Gillingham will look to capitalize on their defensive resilience in upcoming fixtures.
