Fairclough: I'm hurting

7:50am Sunday 14th December 2008 in Sport

Barnet manager Paul Fairclough was a disappointed man after his side conceded a last-gasp equaliser at home to Gillingham.

The Bees put in a superb performance, but it was still not enough.

Fairclough said: "I'm hurting. It feels like a defeat. I don't know what we've got to do to win a game of football at the moment. It was an entertaining game, great for the neutral, but I was convinced we had won it."

Gillingham twice came from behind to draw 2-2, but their second equaliser, deep into stoppage time, was tough on the hosts.

Fairclough added: "My players have worked so hard and they have just been on the cruel, cruel end of football. It was a strong performance. Even when Gillingham got the first equaliser, we reformed to achieve a fantastic goal.

"It's all very disappointing and I'm upset at the moment. We've got to bounce back."
