Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler came away from Macclesfield disappointed his side didn’t claim maximum points.

Hessenthaler felt his side edged the goalless draw at Moss Rose after making the opposition goalkeeper pull off a couple of good saves.

"I’m a little bit disappointed we haven’t won the game," said Hessenthaler.

"In the second half, for the first 10/15 minutes we looked like we were going to score at any time, Their keeper has made two fantastic saves and our keeper has had nothing to save.

"We are disappointed not to gave picked up the three points because over the 90 minutes we were the better team."

It was a second goalless League 2 draw in a row for Hessenthaler’s team but they remain seventh in the table.

"It’s not an easy place to go," said the Gills boss. "We knew it would be a physical test and we talked about it all week.

"I thought we defended very well and I was quite comfortable on the line because I didn’t think we were going to concede.

"We got a decent point but our final ball, in that last third, was lacking a little bit.

"In the second half we came out and looked like we believed in ourselves a bit more and we moved the ball around really well and created two great openings. There were two fantastic saves from their goalkeeper."
