Mark Hughes has criticised his Queens Park Rangers players for their level of performance during the opening 45 minutes against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park earlier today.
Hughes's side found themselves three goals down at the break and despite two goals after the restart, slipped to a defeat against their relegation rivals.
"In the first half we hold our hands up, the performance wasn't acceptable," Hughes told BBC Sport.
"The guys came out in the second half and they understood exactly what I wanted from them and did the hard yards and could easily have got back in the game but you cannot give any Premier League team a 3-0 start."
QPR are 16th in the Premier League table following today's loss.
