Fossey is expecting to come up against a similar approach the Gills had when they take on Morecambe and a direct style of play.
But as they proved on Saturday, the Fulham loanee feels that the quality they have in the squad can come out on top and that they cannot play direct well enough against side which try and do that to them.
And with 10 games left of the season to go, Fossey is anticipating clashes against sides all with something to play for as they intend to give it everything between now and the end of the season.
He said: "Gillingham, with all due respect to them, they have sort of been our bogey team. Direct team, not the most glamorous of pitches, so I think we did well to show ourselves that we can dominate those sorts of teams. We stuck to our style of play, we didn’t get caught in the trap of playing direct like them. Yeah, it was a convincing win.
"I think having a week leading up to the game made a big difference. The fluidity and some of the play was there on show. Just having that week to go through those patterns of play and set-pieces, I think we sort of eradicated any threat they had but at the same time showed what we can do. It was dominant from us.
"In February we had barely any sessions. It was sometimes optional for the starters to go out and kick your legs around. The week leading up to Gillingham has been the first proper sessions in a while so it was nice.
“Morecambe will be similar to Gillingham, a more direct approach, so we will just have to do what we did Saturday and play our kind of football, our quality will show.
“We are used to playing this brand of football so it makes no sense to try and start playing more direct, especially against more direct teams. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
“We have a team full of quality and that will show.
“Looking at all our games coming up they are either against a team looking to get into the play-offs, like us, or a team that is struggling and trying to survive.
“We see every opponent as fighting for something and we’re no different."
