Martin O’Neill after the 2-1 defeat to Charlton said on the official site:

‘We went from almost winning it to losing in the space of 60 seconds.’

‘That was a very frustrating and disappointing afternoon. We could have had all three points and should have had at least one, but we go home empty handed. We had the perfect opportunity to nick the victory just two minutes from time with Gabby’s chance. If he’d scored, we’d almost certainly be celebrating a victory. Instead it went the wrong side of the post and almost immediately they scored a winner that just summed up the way things are going for us at the minute.’

‘I felt even down to ten men that we never let our heads drop and I can’t fault the players for commitment, but we’re still looking for a win to end this poor run and we have to go again on Tuesday. (v Chelsea). We all know there’s a fine line between victory and defeat in this game and we saw that today. This was a game I was confident we could take something from and a game we should not have lost.’
