"The simple fact is that we played for 70 minutes. You simply cannot do that in this league and we gave them too much room for 15 minutes and were punished.
"They scored two goals and we did not get close enough to them. We cannot afford to do that.
"We had been in their faces for the full game and did not give them a minutes peace at all. We relaxed for those few minutes and have to react better. We have to do better than that.
"We should have been three up before they scored. We have to start taking our chances and that would give us a better platform to build on. We got things spot on in the first half tactically and even started the second half well.
"Their keeper made some great saves, we should have had a blatant penalty in the second half although the referee gave us absolutely nothing. He gave them everything after half time and that was very disappointing.
"Tommy Wright was excellent and did everything we wanted of him. He needs games and was out on his feet at the end.
"We need to get points on the board".
