Crawley Town manager Richie Barker told BBC Sussex:
"We deserved to get more out of the game but we weren't at our best. If we were at our best you would have thought we would have won.
"We made positive substitutions and changed the formation and we were on the ascendancy for a little bit. At times we looked good but that is not good enough.
"With two games to go we need to make sure we don't end up with nothing. These players worked extremely hard but, if we are going to have aspirations for next year, we have got to have high demands."
