'We are better than that' - admits Wray

The Waterside man also felt naive mistakes cost them dearly and he too couldn't put his finger on why they were poor after the half-time break.

"I thought the first half we were competing well and after Tuesday night's match against Glentoran, I thought here we go another good performance but it was nonexistent," he said.

"On Tuesday night we were able to clear the ball 30 or 40 yards, but on Saturday we couldn't clear it five or ten yards.

"The first goal I hold my hands up that I gave away a free-kick, but Eamonn Seydak headed the ball out, so we defended that set-piece, but whenever it came back in David McClements took two touches inside our box where you should stick your foot through it.

"But as I have already said we couldn't get it away five yards let alone 20 or 30 yards.

"Then their second goal from (Gary) Thompson he was standing free inside our box, all he had to do was take a touch and score and the third goal we just couldn't clear our lines again.

"It's disappointing to lose any game, but to lose because it's down to ourselves, it wasn't that Lisburn Distillery out played us or were better than us, we lost the game due to our own mistakes."

The ex-Dungannon Swifts man knew 'Stute missed a golden opportunity to all but condemn the Whites and also secure Carling Premiership status next season.

"We knew going into the game that if we won the match it would probably shut the door on them, but I still can't believe what happened on Saturday, because we know that we are better than that.

"We put in a great performance at the champions Glentoran last Tuesday night and other things went against us that night but on Saturday it was so disappointing and I feel sorry for obviously us as a team.

"But we let Greggie down because he is passionate about the club and if you were in our changing room you would see the passion he puts into it; we were also disappointed that we let down our supporters and that performance they didn't deserve especially at home."

This weekend Institute host Glenavon and Wray is hopeful they can bounce back and secure a positive result.

"The games are coming thick and fast before the split; I think its Tuesday, Saturday and Tuesday for the next few weeks and we are playing teams who are challenging for things and are in form like Linfield and Portadown.

"Nevertheless we need to bounce back and players individually need to look after themselves and because we are at home we should be putting the effort in and use being at home to our advantage," concluded Wray.
