"It was a game we had to win and coming in 1-0 down at half-time was unbelievably cruel after the way the first half went," the Fulham boss said after the match.
"The only thing I could say remotely positive is that they kept going. I'm devastated by the result, I'm really saddened by it and sad that we couldn't win a game we believed we could.
"It will be very difficult to lift the players now. At half-time it was difficult to lift them but I had great hope.
"When the second goal went in I knew it would be very hard. I don't know if we've scored three goals all season."
