Mark Stimson, the new Gillingham manager, saw his side end a run of six away league defeats with a 1-1 draw against Swansea City last night. The home team will have been pleased with a point, secured by an equaliser from Paul Anderson after Delroy Facey’s goal, given that they were reduced to ten men in the 22nd minute after Warren Feeney’s lunge on Simon King.
