Tommy Wright admits he was disappointed with the manner of Kilmarnock's defeat in their top-of-the-table clash against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
The Ayrshire side lost 1-0 to the Highland men who are now three points clear at the top of the cinch Championship.
And gaffer Wright was left frustrated after what had been a good start to the season until this loss which was inflicted by former Killie player Michael Gardyne.
He said: “It was definitely a frustrating afternoon, it wasn’t the overall performance I wanted and it certainly wasn’t the result we wanted.
“The goal was all too easy, we had an opportunity to clear it and we should have done better.
“We gave the ball away cheaply, and that’s what we did all afternoon.
“The quality in our passing wasn’t as sharp as it should have been, we took too many touches and allowed Inverness to press us, so we only have ourselves to blame.
“It wasn’t to the standard we have been in recent weeks.
“I didn’t think we’d look like conceding a lot of goals, it was a goal from a counter attack which we gave away, and apart from that Zach [Hemming] didn’t have much to do.
“There was a good reaction to going a goal down. [Liam] Polworth and [Blair] Alston had good chances.
“We dominated possession but it’s what we did with it that was disappointing."
