Northampton 1-1 Gillingham

  • Published

Gillingham hopes of securing a League Two play-off place were extinguished after drawing at Northampton.

Lewis Wilson opened the scoring for the Cobblers when he smashed in a rebound after Paulo Gazzaniga parried Toni Silva's shot.

Jo Kuffour pounced on Danny Kedwell's cross to make it 1-1 after Neal Kitson failed to clear.

Lewis Montrose dallied on a good effort to put the visitors ahead, while Brett Williams headed over for the Cobblers.

Northampton Town manager Aidy Boothroyd told 大象传媒 Radio Northampton:

I want fitter Cobblers - Boothroyd

"I thought it was a bit of a burst balloon today. I expected us to do better.

"When we have games like this it highlights that we are not far away but it also highlights what we need to do.

"I want a full pre-season and I want them much, much fitter.

"I want to get a more athletic vibe around the place I want us to be fit and out-run teams and score goals late."

Inconsistency cost us - Hessenthaler

Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler told 大象传媒 Radio Kent:

"It wasn't about today, it was about the season. Even at the death a point would have taken it into the last game but Crewe scored late on and that put it to bed.

"We got a goal and I thought we could go on and get the winner but in the end we just missed out.

"We have conceded some sloppy goals, decisions haven't gone for us but as a group we've given silly goals away.

"That's what's cost us, inconsistency."
