Doncaster 2 Gillingham 1: Match highlights and reaction from manager Neil Harris as Gills beaten on their travels

Gillingham manager Neil Harris admitted he was baffled as to how his team lost to Doncaster on Saturday.

The Gills had more efforts at goal than the hosts but didn’t make them count.

Report: Doncaster 2-1 Gillingham

Harris’ side went behind to Ben Close’s 12th-minute strike from a free-kick and although Conor Masterson headed them level, it was Close again who struck late in the game to win it.

Reacting to the 2-1 defeat, Harris said: “They are pretty on the eye at times, they try and keep the ball, but barring the odd moment they didn’t really open us up, they didn’t cause us loads of problems.

“We just had chance, after chance, after chance over the course of 90 minutes.

“I am just baffled we haven’t won the game and we haven’t won because we haven’t been clinical enough, we should be coming off four or five up in that game, but if you don't take your chances you’re not going to win football matches at any level. We paid the price for not being clinical enough.

“What was my gripe? Two goals. The winning goal is a great strike, everyone will see the pictures of that, but it’s poor from us on the set-piece, on a restart from a throw-in, our organisations is really poor, bad communication from the players, but then it’s a great strike into the top corner.

“Before that we've had six, seven, eight sitters and I'm talking absolute sitters, it's disappointing. I can't fault the lads for their effort or for their desire. We changed shape today (going to 3-5-2) because of the personnel that wasn't available and we just weren’t clinical enough in the final third.

“We tried to build the play in the first half, their shape dictated it was tough to get through, and then we went more direct, and then we absolutely bullied them
