Sensational first-half strikes from Dennis Oli, Febian Brandy and John Nutter put the Gills in control of Saturday's League One clash at Priestfield before Michael Rose hit a late consolation. "You certainly couldn't print most of it," said Ablett of his interval team-talk. "We reacted in a way they've never seen before. "We can't understand why we have to go 3-0 down before producing a performance which we showed in the second half. It was like watching two different teams. "We need to show more professionalism, character and desire. It needs to mean more to them, certainly as much as it means to me. They understand that now. "We send them out and it's up to them whether they want to perform or not. We're not performing fully for 90 minutes and we're being caught cold."
