It will end up being a good point – Cotterill

STEVE Cotterill was keen to look at the positives despite seeing his Cheltenham side pegged back by the final kick of the match away to Gillingham, writes Jon Palmer.

The Robins fought a superb rearguard action in Kent, and then snatched an 87th-minute lead via Sam Sherring, right, who reacted quickest when Isaac Hutchinson's shot came back off the crossbar.

However, after the Gills launched one final ball into the box, it ricocheted around until Elliott Nevitt fired a low shot beyond goalkeeper Joe Day.

Boss Cotterill said: "We were quite solid in the second half. You get forced back when you come here. They are going to put balls in and they are a big team, bigger than us, so therefore your players really have to stand up.

"I said to them during a little break in the game when we had an injury, 'There is a 1-0 in this for us because we are going to have a chance.' There were a few good moments we had, when you thought it could happen for us.
