Strikers Get Blacks Praise

Gary McSheffrey bagged a brace whilst fellow striker Andy Morrell added one to his seasons tally in the 5-2 win at The Priestfield.

"The quality of the goals were excellent and we created so many chances in the game. We created six or seven good chances and scored five goals," The Sky Blues boss said after the game.

"All credit to Gillingham for putting us under so much pressure in the second half. Even with 10 men they gave us plenty to think about.

"From our point of view I think there were a lot of decent performances from my team. The front two were excellent and Calum Davenport had an excellent game."
