Glenavon manager Michael O'Connor says his side "were too sloppy" during their 2-1 defeat by Cliftonville in the sixth round of the Irish Cup. "I thought we started brightly, played the ball quick and created some decent chances," O'Connor told BBC Sport NI. It was hard to watch, it was too slow and it wasn't good enough, unacceptable." The Lurgan Blues' attention now returns to the league with the side sitting nine points adrift at the bottom of the table. "We have to treat every game going forward as cup finals and a six pointer."
