WEYMOUTH boss John Hollins was lost for words after his side's 4-2 defeat at fellow strugglers Farsley Celtic on Saturday.
The Terras took the lead twice in the encounter through on-loan forward Tony Bedeau and Simon Weatherstone but ended up throwing away the three points with some lacklustre defending.
Hollins said: "Words can't express how disappointed we are. We should have won by six or seven. We went 1-0 up and 2-1 up, we also hit a post through James Coutts, missed three or four one-on-ones and should have had a penalty when Tony Bedeau got a whack when he was just about to score.
"It was unbelievable really and after the game people kept saying how they could not believe we did not win
but now we must put that behind us and move on to the next game."
Commenting on his side's defending, Hollins added: "Our marking for their four goals was poor. Sometimes you can get away with it but today Farsley took their chances and punished us."
Farsley have now moved level on points with Weymouth along with Altrincham who drew with Torquay United. Northwich Victoria also picked up a vital win at Oxford United while Halifax Town fell to a fourth successive loss.

Hollins, whose men remain three points above the drop-zone, said: "Like I have said before all we can do is concentrate on ourselves and we will get there. We cannot worry about anybody else."
Despite still feeling confident about his side's chance of survival, Hollins has been rocked by Torquay's request for Bedeau to return to Plainmoor.
He said: "It is disappointing that Tony has been called back but there is not much we can do about it. He has done a great job for us but we now have to carry on without him.
"Stuart Beavon came on towards the end and he should be back to full fitness for next Saturday against Oxford."
Cambridge United loanee Mark Convery made his debut for Weymouth at Throstle Nest.
Hollins added: "Mark came on in the second half and looked sharp. He used the ball well and also pulled a good save out of their keeper.
"The result was extremely frustrating but we have a strong group and we will keep cracking on."
