Hessenthaler Delighted For Marquis

Last updated : 17 January 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Andy Hessenthaler, the main main of the four coaches running Gillingham's side has said that he was delighted for John Marquis who scored for the Gills in the 3-1 win against Coventry City.

Marquis scored an equaliser to cancel out Gary Madine's first half penalty and goals from Cody McDonald with a penalty and a stoppage time goal from substitute Jermaine McGlashan gave the home side a much needed win.

Speaking to the Press Association, Hessenthaler said:

Hessenthaler said: "John Marquis worked so hard, but I was wondering if I shouldn't bring Luke (Norris) on.

"Just as I said that he popped up with the goal. He got his rewards, if anyone deserved a goal it was John and I am delighted for him.

"Jermaine McGlashan got on the ball a lot and as soon as he starts running at players there are going to be chances, so I thought he did fantastically for the penalty.

"But what I am really pleased about is the third goal, he came on and really made the difference.

"This period has not been easy but, in a sense, having the four of us has helped the club.

"For me I think the chairman is doing right taking his time finding the right person for this football club."
