I can't explain why,” the Frenchman said.“It was a hammer blow but we are going to turn things around on Thursday [against Leganes in the Copa del Rey]. “It might be a mental aspect that is stopping us from winning. When we are on a bad run there are always negatives to pick up on.“We shot on target but didn't score, when there were rebounds we were not on the end of them. This can wear you down mentally. “We did everything possible to win and I honestly cannot reproach my players for their actions. I am not happy but nor do I feel beaten.”</blockquote>
