"That's now two games we should have won and we've had to go to the wire to get a point.
"I can't keep talking about it. We can't concede goals like that because we've had to chase a game which should have been finished at half-time."
On the late fracas with Gillingham manager Peter Taylor: "Emotions were running high and there were a few words exchanged. When you score that late you tend to celebrate with too much gusto.
"There was no malice in it from our point of view. If I've offended him, then I apologise."
