It leaves the Cod Army without a league win in their last nine matches: worrying form which continues to see them hovering ominously just above the relegation spaces.
“First and foremost I’m disappointed to lose the game,” admitted Crainey.
“I didn’t think there was much in the game first half, there were not many chances in the game.

“The second goal we’re chasing the game a bit, they break in behind us, and then get another. So from that point of view it’s a wee bit frustrating.”
All of the bottom six lost, so Town stayed 19th in the table and two points clear of the bottom four ahead of the midweek trip to Sunderland.
Crainey stressed: “There’s no excuses. We can’t use injuries to make excuses for not winning football games.
