Manager Ronnie Jepson has urged Gillingham's fans to inspire the players to League One safety.
The Gills remain troubled by the prospect of relegation, lying just five points clear of the drop zone and Jepson has called for big support ahead of Saturday's visit of Crewe.
"The crowd was brilliant last Saturday and it was very noticeable, the lads commented on it after the game," he told the club's official website.
"They kept behind us from the first minute to the last. It created a good atmosphere and it certainly gave the lads a boost.
"It has been a difficult season for them as well and I understand that, but I just want them to stick with us and see us through - and hopefully things will get better.
"We've been in all week working on it just like we had been the week before, and the week before that, and if my players put in a similar performance as they did last Saturday, I think we will have a good chance of getting something out of the game."
