Danny Jackman questions the referee on Saturday Picture: Barry Goodwin

The Gills had the lead until the final nine minutes and Hessenthaler was left fuming at some decisions that were made by referee Darren Drysdale.

But he was boosted by the performance of some of his young players, including Connor Essam and Jack Evans, who both made their first start for the Gills.
