Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler felt his side should have
been more ruthless in front of goal on Saturday.
Hessenthaler said: "In the first half we passed the ball well
and got into some really good opportunities but we were reluctant
to have that final shot.
"On delaying it, it gave them chance to defend it. That's the
main criticism, we got into the final third and we have to take our
opportunities by shooting. That will come and there are things to
work on."
The Gills boss also thought his team were hampered by nerves
early on.
"That was understandable as we have a couple of players in there
making their debuts," he said.
Gillingham were in the end indebted to striker Adebayo Akinfenwa
for levelling the scores.
The striker said: "I'm always happy to be scoring goals and
strikers are judged on their goals. I'm a bit disappointed with the
result as I thought we were the better team out there and we should
have got all three points.
"We'll take the positives and just look forward to Tuesday
now."
