Second goal of the season for Gillingham midfielder Chris Palmer is scant consolation after Bury defeat
Comments |
By Matthew Panting
Chris Palmer scored his second goal of
the season for Gillingham at Bury on Saturday but admitted it
counted for nothing.
Palmer, pictured, made the score
4-4 with a brilliant 66th-minute effort but he was willing to swap
that strike for three points.
"It fell nicely to me and I just hit
it," said Palmer. "But it doesn’t mean anything. I would have taken
not to score and for us to win 1-0.
"We’re as disappointed as the fans
are. We are fully committed to what we want to do and if we don’t
do it then we have to hold our hands up. Even though we scored four
goals, defensively we were nowhere near good enough."
Palmer admitted that the half-time
telling-off delivered by manager Andy Hessenthaler was well
deserved after a poor start at Gigg Lane.
"We just weren’t at the races in the
first half, no-one was on it and we deserved a talking to at
half-time which is what we got.
"When anyone scores three or four
goals away from home you’d expect to win the game.
"It’s so frustrating. The goals they
scored were down to our mistakes again."
