"We worked on it and looked at why that was. I thought we dealt with that today and I thought in the second half we were on top.
"When we were 2-1 down I though we were the team most likely to score. We get a free kick just outside the box – it wa
sn't a great free kick to be fair – but they've broken and scored.
So from us being on the attack and looking to make it 2-2, all of a sudden we're 3-1 down.
"It's a naivete in our defending. If they lean on us a little bit we buckle. They've got to get used to that fact.
"For the first goal, Chris Breach thought he was tripped and the fellow went through and headed it in.
"So it's difficult to take. I feel for the fans because most of them have been very supportive. At the end I think they saw that we were trying and we were pressuring.
"I think if we'd lost 2-1 and we were in the ascendency it would have been more acceptable. But to give them two soft goals at the end is gutting to be honest.
"We were trying and we looked quite capable of getting that equaliser and, of course, if we had done that, I think everyone would have been quite happy."
Asked why he had not made any changes, Keehan said, "I thought we were the side more likely to score. Then they score near the end and it's too late.
"The trouble is when you concede soft goals like that, it's tiring in itself. Players' heads drop. They've got to show a little more fight and determination because when things go against you that's when you've got to roll your sleeves up and have a real go."
When asked how much he missed Danny Cullip, out with a septic toe, he said, "Danny is so verbal. I don't think we would have conceded the goals we did today if he had been playing. Not necessarily because he would have won it (the ball) but because he would have organised people to win it.
"It's frustrating because I said before the season started that my biggest concern was we'd get beaten up by teams who would just put balls in. We knew we wanted a dominant centre half and we get Danny and we lose him for the first three games."
