Kenny McLean has said that he, and his Norwich City team-mates, felt 'embarrassed' by the manner of their 6-2 defeat to Plymouth Argyle.
Norwich found themselves trailing 5-0 at Home Park before Adam Idah's double clawed back some of the deficit. It now sees them slip to three defeats in four league games.
"It's a tough one to sum up. Just so disappointing, embarrassing. That's the worst I've been involved in since I've been here, to be honest," he said.
"Out of nowhere, we played into Plymouth's hands, unforced errors, mistakes. Everything that could have went wrong, went wrong. We couldn't recover from it, went under, lost our heads. The two goals before half-time finished the game. We just didn't recover from it."
Two goals in first-half injury time ended Norwich's hopes of launching a second half comeback with too much to be done in the second 45 minutes.
And McLean says that it's a performance that won't be forgotten quickly.
"There was words at half-time, there was words that will stay in the changing room. Obviously, there was plenty of frustration in there and we wanted a reaction. But it doesn't matter, reaction or not, that first half was just not good enough.
"Six goals was, I'll use it again, embarrassing. We've come here with high hopes, with ambition. That's a lesson we need to learn from quickly. That takes a bit of getting over, it's one we won't forget in a hurry.
"We deserve to be feeling like this after the way we just played, it'll linger for some time. The only way we can put it right is wins but right now I'm not even thinking about that. We've embarrassed everybody."
He also issued an apology to Norwich City supporters, in particular the 1,622 who made the long trip to Plymouth for the game.
"It just makes it worse. This is why we do things, because we make their weekend. They're coming here to support us and that's what they're watching. There were frustrations at the end and deservedly so.
"Anything that comes our way, we'll take it. It's an apology for them because they've come a long way, supporting us in their numbers constantly and, on that (performance), we're showing them we don't deserve it."
