Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler believes his side deserved to beat League 1 Bournemouth in the FA Cup

Andy Hessenthaler felt his side were worthy winners after overcoming Bournemouth in the FA Cup at the second attempt on Tuesday night.

Gillingham came from 3-1 down last Saturday to earn a replay at Priestfield and they won another entertaining game 3-2 to book their place in round two.

“Over the 90 minutes we deserved to win the game and I thought for the first half an hour we were terrific,” said Gills boss Hessenthaler.

“We got the goal and the only criticism of the boys was that we let them off the hook a little bit, perhaps we should have gone on and got another goal. They came back into it late on in the first half.

“We didn’t really get going in the second half and we were forced to make a change as Chris Whelpdale was not feeling particularly well. He was coming down with a chest infection according to the doctor.”

Stefan Payne was brought on as the Gills reverted to a 4-4-2 formation after leaving Danny Kedwell as the sole striker in the first half.

“We had to re-jig it a bit,” said Hessenthaler. “They got a goal back, where we should have done better, but the left winger (Scott Malone) was a good player and Charlie Lee played him pretty well.”

Lee was beaten for pace by Malone and his cross was deflected into the Gills net.

“Unfortunately it went in off Frampton for an own goal but we kept plugging away and I knew we had enough in the team to still create chances,” said Hessenthaler.

“It just showed the character we have in the team. It was a fantastic second goal. I know it was a tap in for Garry at the back post but it was great play from Lee, very positive. Then for the third goal it was a great finish from the youngster Stefan Payne.”

Bournemouth scored a free-kick in the first minute of stoppage-time to make for a nervy finish.

Hessenthaler added: “We couldn’t do too much about their second goal, which was a fantastic strike although I thought it was a foul on Stefan Payne leading up to it, but the referee missed it.

“It was a great win for us and it keeps the momentum going.”

Do you think the Gills can now go on and beat Leyton Orient in round 2? Comment below.

    I cannot believe every time I come on here everyone is still paying attention to Ron!

    It's so blindingly obvious he's a Dover-supporting Wind Up Merchant with a chip on his shoulder about Hess leaving him in the lurch, can nobody see that?

    It is highly amusing and I applaud Ron for it! He's getting a tad desperate now though, with usernames like Horatio.

    I don't dispute that Stimson also made some good signings and crofts wasn't playing particularly well at the time, but he couldnt resolve that and his way of managing him was to get rid. I agree with you almost entirely just trying to point out the mans failings which Ron evidently isn't aware of and I'm certainly of the opinion that Stimson is by no means better hessanthler. There was a thin line between a good and bad signings for Stimson leroy griffiths another example. There was good times under Stimson but I believe hessanthler in my opinion has built a team of much better quality players utg

    Agree with you on backing Hessenthaler, but it's a bit black and white to suggest all Stimson's signings were rubbish. Jackson, Barcham and Weston are the obvious ones, and arguably Richards, Palmer, Lewis, Cullip, Brandy, Dickson first time round, Miller (although you clearly disagree about that!)

    Also misleading to say he forced out Crofts. He was given every chance to prove himself worthy of the captaincy and even his place and I don't think he did. We all suspected he'd go on to be a class act somewhere else, but he wasn't doing it at Gillingham, and hadn't under two managers prior to Stimson. The rot had set in long before Stimson was at the club.

    It was right that he was sacked, but his reign wasn't as bleak as some make out.

    A question for Ron: how is mark Stimson better then hessanthler? Gills under Stimson only reached the playoffs due to points deductions to Darlington otherwise would have finished outside of the playoffs no different to hessys gills last year. We were relegated twice under Stimson, the same man who failed win an away game, he also brought an awful lot of poor player such as Stuart Thurgood, Adam miller and mark mccammon!!! He also forced out Andrew crofts a player who Norwich paid Brighton in the region of a million pound and a player who he should have built a team around in my opinion. Care to explain??? You are a complete t#at! Hessanthler has over the years done so much for the club and should be given till the end of the season at least to make his mark. Last season hessanthler inherited by in large most of stimsons rubbish and has brought many good players to the club there are still lots of games left and we seem to be improving nicely, consistency is key now but there were certainly signs last night that we aren't to far off and also Ron Bournemouth aren't a league one team you say, didn't they miss out on promotion last season via the playoffs?

It is that fact that will always remain infront of anything that Hessenthaler ever does. Hessenthaler will NEVER better Mark Stimson & he has been beaten all ends up. Any other manager would have been sacked last season for failing to even gain a Play Off place at Gillingham, but Scally would not sack his best friend.

    I do agree that our defence is shockingly bad but don't agree our keeper isn't of league 2 quality as he has pulled some great saves off and in a lot of cases has bailed the defence out.

    As for Oli the less said the better he is ridiculously sh*t, worst player I've seen in a Gills shirt since Big Mac.

    I think we played well yesterday, we played some neat football, bearing in mind this was against a team who are a league above us and with half our first team not playing I think it was a fantastic result. We have scored 6 goals against a league 2 team over 2 legs, I see very little room for complaint.

    We DO however need a new or strengthened defence though as they could potentially ruin our promotion chances on current form and if we don't sign Kuffour and/or Nouble, (who have saved us on numerous occassions through scoring more goals than we have let in) then we will be screwed after Christmas.

    We got lucky again with refereeing decisions, shirt pulling by certain Gills players went unseen all night.As Ron says the defence is not good enough, but will Hessenthaler sort it NO WAY HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO.

    Clearly Dave did not go to the game and is on a wind up. Gills dominated and other than the OG and the great free kick, Ross Flitney did not have a save to make whilst we could have had 2 or 3 other goals on another day. As for late goals, tell me exactly how them scoring a superb free kick could have been avoided?

    Really good performance against a team in the League above with 3 or 4 first teamers missing. Well done Hess and the lads. UTG

    Yes Hessenthaler has won his first cup match since his return to the football club, but look how long it has taken, this was his 8th attempt. Hessenthaler's side were VERY lucky to come out of this match with a victory. We saw within the second half just how poor this side really is. We are talking about the defence, one that looks every inch of County league standard. The defending was dreadful within the second half. The team so nearly threw it all away at the end.

    Hessenthaler's side will NEVER win any promotion with a defence that has now only gained 3 clean sheets from 23 fixtures so far this season. We can not expect the front men to get us out of jail each & every match. At Aldershot we were lucky not to throw away that 2-0 lead. Bournemouth are no League One side in truth, not what you would call a League One side. We have seen over the two legs that we are not up to League One & our defending is not up to Football League. The manager is to blame for signing to many midfield players when quality in defence was needed.

    Against Bradford City they have a player in Crompton down their left thats the best within League Two in that position. If Fish is playing at right back we WILL be torn to pieces. The warning is there, will the defence be able to deal with the threat? This defence has failed ALL season. Until we have the decent League Two defenders & some decent League Two goalkeepers we are going no where forwards.

    We won the match against Bournemouth, but our defence has won nothing ALL season. Hessenthaler IS only still in charge because he IS the best friend of the chairman, that is the reason why. Yes at any other club he would have been sacked in October 2010 & October 2011. The manager is clueless. What does the results section tell you? Look at how many we are having to score to try & get a win, it is pathetic. The forwards will not get Hessenthaler out of jail forever. This side will NEVER get promotion. No side gets promotion with an average of 3 goals conceded per game.

    - CROMPTON NEEDS MARKING OUT OF THE MATCH ON SATURDAY!

    - A NEW DEFENCE IS NEEDED!

    - A NEW MANAGER IS NEEDED!

    - THE BEST FRIEND POLICY WILL TAKE US NO WHERE FORWARDS!

    @ warnz. What planet are you on, you say Oli worked as hard as ever. Oli as usual was pathetic spending most of the game falling over and giving the ball away.It's obvious that Oli must be released and soon, the problem is no one would take him.

    Dear oh dear. Some people are getting carried away. Hessenthaler has learnt nothing,how long is it going to take him to sort out the problem of conceding last minute goals, something that has happened since the pre- season games.A capable manager would have sorted it by now.
    This complacent clown hasn't got a clue how to fix it.No way is Hessenthaler going to gain promotion as a manager with Gills, the man is just not hard working enough for a start.HESSENTHALER IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.

    First game for a long time due to work commitments but thought we were quite solid all round.Weston had one of his best games for a while by the sounds of it and deserved MoM.Keds for a big guy closed the defence down wonderfully well and Stefan Payne looked in good touch.0nly down side was Jack Payne looked quite lethargic and misplaced a hell of a lot of passes.Nice also to hear Rainham End singing "Hess`s barmy army".Roll on Bradford and Orient.UTG

    Yes, fantastic. Great goal Stefan Payne (where are the Payne abusers now?) he's coming good.

    Oli worked very hard as ever.

    Nouble didn't play but he's scored 5 in ten games (the moaners complained he wasn't a goal scorer when we signed him). Great to hear he's signed for another month.

    Ron and the like said Hess would be out of a job by mid October and they were wrong.

    Someone predicted Bournemouth would win 4-0 last night and they were wrong.

    I continue to say that Hess is the right man for the job right now, and I say that both when we win and when we lose. I also continue to say let's keep shouting on and encouraging the lads however well (or not) we're playing.

    Great result boys. Great tactics Hess.
