Magilton said: "We just lacked a cutting edge. We just need the ball to bobble off someone and go over the line. Once that happens it will give us confidence.
"It was ironic that Mr Dependable, who has not made a mistake since he joined us was responsible for the goal. He held his hands up in the dressing room. He didn't have a great game but I know I can depend on him in the next match.
"Once we get a result it will turn things around. We want something to happen and have been looking for a front pairing all season.
"The danger signs will be there if we stop being committed and stop pushing forward. That is not the case.
"We are in the results business, but I know what I am doing is the right way forward for this football club.
"There is no glory in defeat but we've got to keep believing in what we are doing.
"We did everything but get the result. I know we are not far away and I've got to get them going again. I have got plenty of belief in my players and they have to pick themselves up and have belief in themselves."
After the game David Wright spoke of his disappointment with his part in the goal. Wright's under hit back pass was slotted home by Irish striker, Stephen Ward.
Town's latest addition said: "It was a big error by me. My mistake cost us. And I hold my hands up and take the blame.
"It was a poor pass and left Lewis Price a long way short. You cannot make individual mistakes like that."
