‘Late goals killed us’ – Baxter after Coleraine loss

Carrick Rangers manager Stephen Baxter says his side played “superbly well” despite being defeated 3-1 by Coleraine.Adam Lecky’s goal gave the away side the lead at the break with Carrick having numerous chances to give themselves a more comfortable advantage.However, the Bannsiders registered three goals in the second half to seal the three points.”Their keeper makes a worldie of a save [to deny Lecky] and otherwise it was 2-0 and we were going to coast home,” Baxter told BBC Sport NI.”We were well on top in this game and we played superbly well, our level of performance was stunning.”We had Coleraine where we wanted them. The late goals have killed us, like they did at Windsor Park.”Carrick Rangers sit in eleventh position with 16 points and one point behind Crusaders in 10th.However, their opponents Coleraine now move top of the table on goal difference.”The results will show you that the top four are breaking away and if you’re spending four or five times the money between the top six and the bottom six, you are always going to get that degree of split,” Baxter continued.”I never envy anyone around money, you get what you pay for and the pressure when you spend that money is you need to deliver.”If Coleraine don’t deliver a title, the pressure is on them and it’s the same for Glentoran, Linfield and Larne and there can only be one winner.”
