Gillingham 0 Swindon Town 2: Reaction from Gills boss Gareth Ainsworth after League Two defeat at Priestfield Stadium

Manager Gareth Ainsworth was focusing on Gillingham’s positive performance rather than the defensive errors that left them pointless on Tuesday night.

Ainsworth admitted there was a big mistake which led to Swindon’s opener and the visitors hit a second goal late on to win 2-0.

The Gills had 20 efforts at goal but weren’t able to make it count.

“How we haven't taken something for that game is amazing,” said the Gills boss.

“We were definitely the dominant team and [I don’t know] how some of those shots haven't gone in. The keepers made a worldly save in the first half from a corner, and the one where Ronan (Hale’s) on the line, scrambling to get it, I don't know how that stayed out.

“Of course I'm disappointed to lose, but performance is always my bag. Always will be.

“I’m just gutted for the boys because
