The Blues failed to make the most of their chances as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at Priestfield against Gillingham.

Kenny Jackett's men had 20 shots on goal, with just five of those on target as the hosts inflicted a second defeat of the season on their opponents.

Whatmough said: '˜It felt similar to the first game.

'˜We could've have still been there now and not score.

'˜But credit to Gillingham they've done the double over us.

'˜We had the chances but weren't clinical enough.'
