'We were careless' - Magilton frustrated with draw

Cliftonville manager Jim Magilton lamented the manner of the goals Cliftonville conceded as they twice surrendered a lead to draw 2-2 with Portadown at Solitude.

Ryan Curran and Rory Hale scored for the Reds, who were pegged back by a fine Ahu Obhakhan finish and a late Josh Ukek goal.

The draw means that Cliftonville have won just one of their last seven league games and they sit seventh in the table.

"After we scored the second goal, we just needed to be well organised and recognise they would play on the counter, but we were careless and didn't do enough to see the game out," he said.

"We lacked game understanding and at this level that can cost you. There was a naivety in our play."

Magilton was critical of his side's inability to stop Lee Chapman's delivery from the right and of Odumosu's error, as he dropped the ball at Ukek's feet, allowing the forward to tuck home into an empty net.

"We had an experience left back who didn't stop that cross and the goalkeeper should collect that, it is standard practice for a keeper of his quality," he explained.

"We watched a lot of Portadown, we knew they would put those deliveries in and in the end, we were hanging on in a game when I didn't think we should have been, because Portadown ended the game as the aggressor."
