Post-match comments from head coach Laurent Courtois, Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty and Joel Waterman are available HERE.
LAURENT COURTOIS
"I have very little to blame the players for tonight. We did some good things, but we faced a good team. It's disappointing because we thought we'd get another good result here tonight. The players were ambitious and there's satisfaction in seeing what they tried to produce. Destiny is now in our hands in front of our fans."
JAHKEELE MARSHALL-RUTTY
"We wanted three points tonight so we are disappointed. Now we have to get back to work going into the last game. Conceding a goal to Charlotte was going to be difficult away from home because they are a good team defensively."
JOEL WATERMAN
"The team felt good. We had a good game. We need to find a way to break down a team which like to sit back a bit more and they defended us well. It's still in our hands at home."
