Gillingham 0 Fleetwood 0: Reaction from Gills manager Neil Harris after Priestfield stalemate

For the second game of the Easter weekend Gillingham manager Neil Harris admitted it was a missed opportunity for his team.

On Good Friday at Cheltenham the Gills twice let a lead slip as the game ended 2-2 and on Easter Monday, against fellow relegation scrappers Fleetwood Town, the match ended goalless.

Commenting on the match, Harris said: “We deserved to win the game and there was only one team trying to win the game. For me the weekend has been a missed opportunity for us, not to pick up more points than the two we got.

“I was disappointed with my team for the first half hour, we weren’t good enough, it looked like we played the occasion, looked very nervy, miss-placed passed, miss-controlled the ball. Then after that the best chance of the game fell to Charlie Kelman, from six yards out, and that did settle us down.

"We got the fans behind us, really got into good areas of the pitch and created chances and ultimately did enough to win the game.

“We need to make more chances at home, we can’t just rely on set-plays, or a moment of magic from someone, we have to do better.

“I am disappointed and I am a bit agitated that we have not won the game, I told my players we need better quality. I am agitated that we didn’t win the game at Cheltenham because we gave two really poor goals away.”

Kelman was sent off in the match for a challenge that also led to Fleetwood's Paddy Lane being dismissed.

Harris felt the decision to send Kelman off was harsh while another big incident involving the striker had seen him go down under pressure in the box, another incident he was left to question with the referee after the game.

"Decisions make football matches," he said, adding: "We didn’t not win the game because of that."
