“We were a disgrace. Our performance levels in the first half weren’t good enough, people didn’t take responsibility.
“I’m humiliated and hurt by what I saw today.
“There are no positives. Not even the second half, when we drew 0-0, when we’re only playing against a Dungannon side who have already won the game.
“I can’t take any positives at all, and that really hurts me to say that.

“We need to stop conceding goals, we need to get back to becoming harder to beat. It’s as if some people have started to believe we’re not that bad a side, and have taken their eyes off the ball.
“Things have to change - urgently.”
