Jepson: wants Gills to finish teams off
Ronnie on...A game of two halves
"It's very frustrating because the first half performance was, until the last five minutes of the first half, it was good. We had plenty of ball, they weren't really causing any problems, I thought we might have gone on to get a third the way we were playing, but the two halves were so contrasting it was untrue."


Ronnie on...Putting it right
"I'll speak to them tomorrow morning, when we're in at the training ground. We'll have a chat, a few home truths, and we'll take it from there. If you have a look at the first half on the video you'd be quite happy. If you looked at the second half, you'd be pulling your hair out, and we've got to find out the reasons why. It was a similar second half at Brighton, we took the foot off the gas, and again here today."


Ronnie on...Matty Jarvis
"He put in a good showing, but I thought he faded in the last 15 minutes, but he'd done a hell of a lot of work. We switched him to the right to try and have a go at the left back, because they'd obviously brought the lad on to stop Matty over there, but we lost the shape, we stopped passing the ball, and there was a nervousness about us. So we couldn't get the ball to Matty in the right areas where we wanted."


Ronnie on...Goalkeeping cover
"He (Kelvin Jack) had a bang on his knee again and it is a concern, so hopefully this week I'll have a goalkeeper in."


Ronnie on...Having a quality finisher up front
"Strikers like that in this league are worth their weight in gold, but the sad fact of life is we can't afford strikers like that, so we have to go with what we can afford, and to get a striker who will score 20 goals a season is going to cost you money, and it's going to cost you wages."
