The Shouting Men: Gillingham midfielder Emmanuel Osadebe writes exclusively for the KM Group

It was brilliant to get the point at Chesterfield but it was a let off. We’re better than that.

We conceded three sloppy goals and that shouldn’t have happened.

We know we have to start quicker and be more aggressive, be hard to beat and we need to be ready this weekend.

Someone had to get a header on the first goal we conceded. We conceded a penalty for the second and it should have been defended before that and then we let in a third.

We showed character to come back and it’s a good point but we should have done better.

We are 11 or 12 games in now, so we can’t keep saying we need time.

Everyone knows that we are better than what we showed in the first half. At least in the second half we were much better.

We have taken points several times from coming behind but lost when ahead and it is a thing we have to put right quickly.

It is good having the great character to come back but we’re not going to do it all the time. If we can get ahead in the game and finish strong, that is something we need to do.

I was pleased to see Scott Wagstaff score the equaliser, it was an incredible feeling.

After going behind twice we just kept pushing. Waggy worked so hard when he was injured and he has come back in and done well.
