WEYMOUTH director of football Des Bulpin refused to pull any punches after watching his new side crash out of the FA Umbro Trophy after a shocking second round

display against Chesham United at the Meadow.

The Terras turned in one of their worst performances for years, going down 4-0 to their high-flying Ryman Premier Division opponents.

The ex-QPR coach - who took sole charge in the absence of Andy Mason who missed the trip to Buckinghamshire through work commitments - launched a stinging attack on his players who only registered one half-hearted attempt on goal throughout the entire game.

He said: "Quite simply, we were not good enough and I'm not prepared to put up with performances like that. Right from the goalkeeper, who wasn't kicking a decent length, to the strikers, the performances all over the park were very, very poor.

"We were outbattled and that's the one thing I don't like. We were too far apart and couldn't pass the ball."

He added: "I'm not going to pass the buck though because myself and Andy are the men in charge. It will be relegation and not promotion at the end of the season if we carry on like that.

"I said to the players that if they didn't mark Chesham stiker Wayne Andrews on the outside, he'll cause us problems and that's exactly what the lad did.

"When you work with players every day they'd know about that, but when I've explained about marking on the outside to some of the players here they didn't understand what I meant."

Meanwhile Bulpin explained his decision to leave out flair pair Mark Robinson and Matthew Hale from his starting 11.

"I'm a big believer in statistics and in the last two games Matthew Hale has not got a cross in and that is his job. Robinson has also not played well lately and he'd agree with that," he said.

After two weeks in charge Bulpin said he's now had time to form an opinion on the set-up at the Wessex Stadium, and so far he hasn't been impressed.

"The fact I can't get two nights a week training in with all the players is very difficult.

"I don't think there is a way of overcoming that problem this season because people like Jason Rowbotham were made promises by the last manager and I won't go back on them.

"Next season though it will be a totally different ball game and they'll train when I tell them to train. I can't make any changes until the end of the season when four, five or six contracts are up so up until then I've got to work with what we've got.

"As a coach I've been brought up on showing people how it's done and I can't do that at the moment."

He added: "It's like making a cake - I could tell you to go and make a cake but you've got a far better chance of doing it if given coaching. At the moment, our cake is out the window.

"Mind you, if it continues like this then I might not be here next season. I won't resign because I'm not a quitter but it's all in the hands of the directors and their opinions."
