Gillingham manager Mark Bonner wasn’t shying away from the fact that his team were second-best on the day at Doncaster. The Gills failed to create many meaningful chances against Doncaster, despite a late rally with a flurry of attacking substitutions, and were beaten 1-0. Report: Doncaster 1-0 Gillingham “We haven’t played at a level good enough to win the game,” he admitted. “We huffed and puffed, chased the game as best we could.

We put a lot of (attacking) players on the pitch to try and help us, probably too many really in the end. “We had not enough threat in the game, really, to be honest. “We've had a lot of the ball and in periods we got some control of it, but their transitions to attack are outstanding.

We didn't play with enough personality at times in the first half, anywhere near.” Doncaster bossed the early periods but didn’t take the lead until the 30th minute.

It was a fairly simple goal, a cross to the back post where Jordan Gibson nodded it down for predatory finisher Billy Sharp to do what he does best from six yards.
