Gillingham midfielder Scott Wagstaff believes they haven't reached their full potential yet

Scott Wagstaff ended the night at Chesterfield on a high but wasn’t hiding from the truth.

He accepted the Gills weren’t good enough, as they came from 3-1 down to take a point from the League 1 clash but is confident they will put things right.

Wagstaff said: “It is a great way to end the game, to get the goal with the last kick of the match but we were disappointed with our first-half performance.

“We haven’t played to our full potential yet and were nowhere near it in the first half.

“Second half we killed ourselves by conceding an early penalty and then it is was mountain to climb.

“We were delighted with the point in the end but we need to cut out some of the silly mistakes.”

Gills left it until the 96th minute to level and Wagstaff hadn’t ever scored a goal that late before. It was a moment he and the travelling fans enjoyed together.

He said: “We had one more chance left in us and I managed to put it in. It’s great to see the fans turn up in their numbers again.

“It was a long trip for them and we wanted to send them home happy. We hopefully did that.

“We managed to grind it out and we showed heart, which we didn’t in the first half but we need to make sure we do it on a consistent basis.”
