Liam Manning admitted "everyone was a six or a seven today, but we needed an eight or a nine to produce the 'wow' moment to win us the match."
Here's how we rated the players at Stadium MK.
1. Andrew Fisher - 6.5
Hard to really form an opinion on his performance with so little to do. Showed good command of his box when occasionally called upon.
2. Harry Darling - 7
Given the threats of Vadaine Oliver, Darling silenced the striker while also flexing his attacking muscle at times with a few good runs forward and a couple of shots on goal.
3. Warren O'Hora - 7
Had no issues keeping Gillingham's front line out, and even ventured forwards to get a shot away in the first half.
4. Dean Lewington - 6.5
Like the rest of the defence, remained relatively untested and in control throughout.
