FRUSTRATED Phil Parkinson admitted City paid the price for not “killing the game off” after Gillingham’s last-gasp equaliser at Valley Parade.

Peter Taylor’s side grabbed a 1-1 draw as Antonio German cancelled out a Leon Legge own goal in the third minute of stoppage time.

City had hit the post twice and Parkinson felt they should have put the result beyond doubt before Gillingham’s late show.

He said: “We dominated the game but had to kill it off. We had chances but didn’t take them and we had opportunities in and around the box but needed to make better decisions.

“When you don’t, you’re always susceptible to that killer punch and that’s what happened. Unfortunately it’s the difference between a buoyant training ground on Monday and a flat one.”

Filipe Morais went to hospital to check on his injured shoulder which forced him off after just 18 minutes.
