Gillingham assistant manager Ian Hendon had
little to criticise the team for following their Johnstone’s Paint
elimination on Tuesday night.
“Obviously it’s disappointing that we’ve lost
on penalties but there were positives to take from it,” said Hendon
(pictured).
“We have come out of the game after 90 minutes
probably with the better chances.
“I think they went close once with a header
from Corr, which Lance pushed over quite comfortably, and late on
in the second half he made a save down to his left. That was about
it and away from home he’s had two things to do, so that bodes well
for us away from home with our performance.
“We have gone out of a competition but the
performance and work-rate was there and if the players keep putting
in a shift like they are doing at the moment results are going to
come.
“Collectively they all put a shift in and
worked their socks off, as they have been doing since I’ve been at
the football club. As long as they continued to do that, and I’m
sure they will, we haven’t seen anything to tell us they won’t, and
the results will turn and we will get that elusive away win.”
