West Ham goalkeeper Darron Randolph was left frustrated with their 4-3 home defeat to Bournemouth.
On his league debut for the Hammers, the 28-year-old stopper was blameless for the Cherries' four goals and even made eye-catching stops from Max Gradel and Marc Pugh along the way.
“The one thing we said before the game was don't start like we did last week, and yet we did," he told West Ham TV.
“No matter who you play against, if you give teams a two-goal lead, it's hard to get back. You work as hard as you can to get back into the game and sometimes it's not enough, it's too late.
“It took a while for the boys to realise what was happening, trying to get to grips with everything. We regrouped at half time and even though we conceded two more, we were a lot more solid, I think.
“There is plenty of fight, it would be nice to start the game like that and go two nil up, instead of having to chase the game and make everything hard for ourselves."
