Late errors, says Allen

home games, so we didn’t want that to come back and haunt us. It’s something we must address.”

Swifts boss Rodney McAree insisted his boys’ failings came in front of goal.

He said: “The difference between the teams was the likes of Curtis Allen. When he gets half-chances, he puts them away.

“Chris’ goal just came too late for us. After we scored we began to panic a bit. We began to launch long balls which is not our way of playing.

“I keep saying, it’s what happens in the two 18-yard boxes that counts. Glentoran got into our box three times in the first half and scored twice. We got into their area on numerous occasions and we didn’t capitalise.

“We’ve been decent. Our buildup play is good, we are nice on the eye but we have no cutting edge.”
