Grimsby Town manager Alan Buckley lashed out at his players after a 2-0 defeat at in-form Hartlepool United.
The Mariners boss felt that his players had not shown enough fighting spirit at Victoria Park as they suffered a second successive 2-0 reverse on their travels.
He told the Evening Telegraph: "We sort of died a death without a whimper and that was really disappointing.
"I don't like losing and don't want to be associated with losing.
"But if you do lose, you go down fighting and I don't think we did that.
"In that sense it is maybe the first time I can have a go at them for that. I am far from pleased with that."
