Motherwell midfielder Sean Goss says he and his teammates have to work together to find a weekly consistency after a poor 3-1 Premiership loss to Ross County.
A Sondre Solholm Johansen own goal before half-time set the Steelmen back but they looked to have found their feet in the game after Jordan Roberts' leveller and County midfielder Jordan Tillson's red card.
But soon they imploded and Regan Charles Cook's double - one of which was a penalty - sealed a comfortable home victory in the end.
Graham Alexander's men remain fourth in the Premiership but Goss says the players know they let themselves down.
He said: "It's a tough one for us and it wasn't a good enough performance at the end of the day. The boys have all owned up to it.
"It's a frustrating one as well after they went down to 10 men. It should have been a massive opportunity for us to go and take three points from this.
"We knew we were going to have to be patient. It was a great goal by Robbo and after the red card we are thinking we have got a good opportunity. But it wasn't to be for us.
"All we can do is react and try to work hard in training in order to get back into things for the weekend."
Alexander has been unhappy with the trend his side have picked up against bottom six clubs. Dundee have beat them twice - once in the League Cup - on top of this result, while they have also dropped points to St Mirren and St Johnstone.
Goss can't pinpoint why this is the case, but he hopes Motherwell's ability to bounce back from the setbacks stands them in good stead ahead of a Scottish Cup fourth round tie with Morton on Saturday.
He said: "We want to go into every game and win it. This is something we will have to look at - mainly us as players. But I can't put my finger on it.
"We never want to put in performances like that. We've set a standard and shown what we can do. The main thing for us is we have to be consistent.
"We can't play well one week and terrible the next. We need to find that consistency and we have done it more than we haven't to be fair. But we have to do it every week."
