Coach blasts Gills fitness levels

The fitness coach worked under Gills boss Mark Stimson at Borough and Grays and was shocked that the squad at Priestfield was less fit than both non-league teams.

Now Ellis is responsible for rejuvenating the flagging Gills and he is using some modern methods in a bid to strengthen the squad.

"The fitness that we required when we were at Grays and Stevenage was phenomenal. Because we came from a Conference background, when you jump two divisions you think it is going to be better - but it is not," he told Kent on Sunday.

"I think one of the main aspects of clubs not doing well is their level of fitness. [At Stevenage] we worked to a higher level. Our fitness regime was a lot higher, but that's not disrespecting the players here; if they have not been shown how to do it that's not their fault.

"It is a bit unorthodox; some of the players wonder why we do it, but we know it works. We have done it before - it's tried and tested. Once you get the players on your side, they start winning games and start feeling fitter and stronger, which will happen without doubt. Then you have got a strong team."
