Dungannon Swifts manager Rodney McAree says his team was “hugely frustrated” not to pick up any points from Tuesday’s 1-0 Premiership defeat by Linfield.
Joel Cooper’s second-half goal moved David Healy’s side 11 points clear of second-placed Swifts at the summit of the league table.
“There’s a massive amount of disappointment in the changing room and I think that’s positive. We’re hugely frustrated we didn’t get something out of the game,” said McAree.
“We felt as if our performance was good. We didn’t ask Linfield enough questions in the first half but we did better in the second half, we caused a few more problems.
“We created a few opportunities and could have scored a goal and got a result.”
The Swifts boss believes his side could have defended what turned out to be the winning goal better.
“Joel turns us probably too easily. He’s a quality player and that’s why other clubs are maybe looking at him.
“He gets his strike away, we should do better to stop the shot and then it rolls into the corner.
“It’s a disappointing goal to concede and it’s a disappointing goal to lose the game to.”
