Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic criticised his players' performance as they missed the chance to go third in the Championship after a 2-2 draw at Sheffield Wednesday.
Goals from Mohamed Belloumi and Matt Crooks brought Hull level twice but they failed to find a winner, ending a three-match winning run.
"We played like it was Christmas today, not yesterday," Jokirovic told BBC Radio Humberside.
"We were very very poor in the first half, no control and very low energy. We made bad decisions in possession, but started to play after we conceded."
Jokirovic said his team did improve and was unhappy with the referee, who he claims failed to rule out Wednesday's second for offside.
