Gills boss Ronnie Jepson gives us his post match views on the away draw to Blackpool. The Gills came back to Priestfield with their first away point of the season. Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu scored his first Gills goal, whilst Darren Randloph performed an inspired performance between the sticks.
It was also the first points the Gills picked up since the opening day victory over Huddersfield. Speaking to BBC Radio Kent, Jepson said "It was a good point for us today, I changed a few things around a bit before the game, and we've stopped the rot. Now I hope we can take confidence out of the performance, and go on from here," said Ronnie.

"I thought we were a bit nervous at times, because of how it has been for the last three or four games, I was dissapointed with their goal, I thought it was really bad defending, but to be fair to the lads, they kept at it, I thought we defended really well in the second half, and I'm happy we got that point.

"We probably had a couple of chances late in the match to win the game, but not being biased, a draw was probably the right result in the end, and I'm pleased for Guylain because he's been working so hard at his game, he's been trying to find his feet, and as any player will tell you the first goal at a new club is always so important, so I'm just really pleased for the lad."
