Shackleton said: “It was a very frustrating afternoon, a game that we came into - like all the others - wanting to get three points.
“To not do so, to only come away with one and with the chances that we had to win the game, it’s frustrating and we’re disappointed.
“We kind of expected five at the back and for them to sit in and make it deep, to try to make it difficult to create chances.
“They did a good job of that and we couldn’t make the breakthrough to get three points despite having a couple of good chances.”
