Gubbins Aims to Secure Shrimpers’ Play-Off Position

Victory at Aldershot Town on Tuesday will secure a top-seven finish for the Shrimpers. Centre-back Gubbins says the side wants to close out that play-off spot as soon as possible.

Match stakes

The Shrimpers sit seventh in the National League table. They are five points clear of eighth-placed Halifax Town and hold two games in hand.

A single point at Aldershot would all but confirm a place in the play-offs. Goal difference favors Gubbins’ side and makes the task simpler.

Recent form

Kevin Maher’s team are unbeaten in six matches. Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Solihull Moors extended that run and delivered another clean sheet.

Gubbins felt his side dominated the second half. He praised the team’s persistence and the goalkeeper’s saves late on.

Player focus and background

The 24-year-old has started 29 matches this season. He says consistent minutes have helped his game and his confidence.

Gubbins previously spent time on loan at Aldershot in 2021, making three appearances for the Shots. He has not yet scored for the Shrimpers but prioritises wins and clean sheets.

Outlook

Gubbins wants the team to finish the campaign strongly. The centre-back aims to secure a play-off position and build momentum into the final fixtures.
