"You couldn't write in the papers what I feel about that match," said the Fulham boss after the 4-3 defeat against struggling Rovers at Loftus Road.

"To score three goals against a team fighting relegation, but concede four is something I can't explain.

"We've just had three clean sheets on the bounce and if you'd said Blackburn would score four goals here I wouldn't have believed you.

"Every goal could have been avoided and that's disappointing. We were sloppy defensively, gave away four bad goals and were a little bit cocky.

"We scored at a great time just before half-time, but within five minutes were 3-2 down. That was beyond me."
