<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cEvery game in the league offers up problems. Every coach, every set off players deserve great credit because they have to earn the right and every game is a tough game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had three games and we\u2019ve played with great intensity in the last two games- especially the second half tonight.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just have to address the squad and we look forward to Linfield away on Sunday and the challenges they will present\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Reds squad will be further decimated heading to Windsor Park with Miche\u00e1l Glynn suspended following his red card picked up against the Inver Reds, but Magilton is adamant it will present an opportunity for somebody else. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is just part and parcel of being a football manager,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt gives someone else an opportunity to come in and play, it is just the nature of the beast. You are heavily reliant on your squad and these lads will stand up and be counted\u201d.<\/p>\n
Magilton was delighted with goalkeeper PJ Morrison\u2019s penalty save and attributes during the game and also praised Joe Gormley – whose equaliser got him off the mark for the campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cPJ [Morrison] made a fantastic save, he was very commanding, very assured and played extremely well- as did the rest of the lads and the lads that came off the bench\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, we have to manage our group. I thought that we had impetus and we had aggression in the second half, which we didn\u2019t play with in the first half.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we play like that and move the ball as quickly as that, we are going to create problems for the opposition. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJoe took his goal brilliantly\u201d. He was in again, and Joe was touched in the box. If he says that he was fouled, a bit like Saturday – you have to go with it because he is so honest and he wants to score goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a disappointing decision, but again- the players showed fantastic resolve and they deserve immense credit for that.”<\/p>\n
