Mansfield Town boss Billy Dearden slammed his players after a dismal display in a 3-1 home reverse at the hands of Lincoln City.
The loss left the Stags near the foot of the League Two table, with Dearden seeking a major improvement as quickly as possible.
He told The Chad: "We had a good chat in the dressing room afterwards and what was said stays in there, but the lads know that's not good enough.
"We defended very poorly. I have never seen the back four play as badly and we defended poorly overall as a unit.
"We will now spend the week working hard on what went wrong before we go to Morecambe next weekend, which will be a difficult one."
