Mansfield Town manager Peter Shirtliff hit out at his side's performance in the 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Bury.
The loss left the Stags just four points above the drop zone and Shirtliff warned his players that they must do better.
He said: "I have told my players that at this club we seem to take two steps forward and then three steps back.
"I can't remember a shot on their goal in the second half which worries me. There were too many bad decisions from my players.
"We didn't create enough by a long way and if you don't hurt the opposition then they hurt you.
"We started off very well, but never created enough clear-cut openings."
