Alex Revell was left seething with anger and frustration after his Stevenage side suffered a humiliating 3-1 defeat at the hands of Crawley.
The Boro boss was expecting a strong performance from his team, but what he got was a lackluster display that left him questioning the commitment and dedication of his players.
The defeat was a bitter pill to swallow for Revell, who had been confident that his team could come away with all three points from the match.
Instead, Stevenage found themselves on the back foot from the start, struggling to cope with the pace and aggression of the Crawley attack.
Despite their best efforts, the Boro defense was breached on three occasions, leaving Revell to bemoan the mistakes that had cost his team the game.
The Stevenage manager was particularly disappointed with the way his team had conceded the goals, citing a lack of communication and organization as the main reasons for the defeat.
Revell knows that his team needs to bounce back quickly from the setback, and he will be demanding a much-improved performance from his players in their next match.
The defeat has left Stevenage languishing in the lower reaches of the table, and Revell is aware that his team needs to start picking up points quickly if they are to avoid a relegation battle.
For now, though, the Boro boss is just focusing on getting his team back on track, and he will be working tirelessly to ensure that they are better prepared for their next match.
As for the players, they will be looking to make amends for their poor display against Crawley, and they will be determined to prove themselves against their next opponents.
Only time will tell if Stevenage can recover from the setback and start climbing the table, but one thing is for sure - Alex Revell will be doing everything in his power to make it happen.
