Fulham boss Roy Hodgson took positives away from their 2-0 loss to Aston Villa at Craven Cottage.
A brace from Gabriel Agbonlahor sunk the Cottagers who could not claw their way back into the tie.
Despite slipping at home, Hodgson took positives away from the losing performance.
"Up until that two-goal period the game looked a 0-0 in the making. We didn't pose enough threat, they threatened more," he told the club's official website.
"We've suffered a bad home defeat and don't feel good about that, but we weren't diabolical today. We conceded two goals in a short space of time and at half-time it didn't seem that we deserved that.
"We're suffering from our injury situation but we were disappointed with the manner in which we conceded those goals. We gave it our all in the second-half.
"Of course I'm concerned about this run but I'm more worried that the players who would help us out of it aren't available.
"But we've got to keep working through it and make sure players don't start dropping their heads."
