Luke Williams has expressed disappointment his side's performance despite Notts County coming away 4-1 winners at Huish Park and extending their unbeaten run in the National League to 24 matches.
It proved to be the Macaulay Langstaff show, with the Magpies striker netting his second hat-trick of the season to take his tally to 30 for the season, something last achieved 13 years ago when Lee Hughes was donning the black and white shirt.
Despite the result, the Notts chief expressed his concern for his side's first half performance despite going into the break a goal to the good - only for Andrew Oluwabori to equalise following a mistake between Sam Slocombe and Geraldo Bajrami.

The Albanian was one of four changes ahead of kick-off, coming in to the back three alongside Kyle Cameron and Connell Rawlinson, with Aden Baldwin dropping to the bench for the trip to Somerset.
It was the first time the 23-year-old had started a game in the league since their New Year's Day draw with Oldham at Boundary Park, with Williams on hand to assess Bajrami's contributions following full time.
"I think the whole performance was poor from the whole team, so even if you are in a really good place it's hard to play well on your own.
"I don't think anyone played terrible, but I think the whole team's performance was under-par and that shows the level of trust that I have in Baj because I just drop him when I think is the right time.
"Baj has got a great future with us but, I am not disappointed by his performance today but I wasn't blown away either."
"I thought we were really poor today, and as poor as we were, Yeovil were very good.
"To come away from here with all the points, I feel very lucky."
The absence of Baldwin seemed to further back up the importance of his presence in that back three, with Rawlinson deployed in the centre of the defence, with Bajrami pushed out to the right.
And speaking of the Glover's equaliser, the Notts boss explained the worrying feeling he had felt in the build-up to the goal, something he is keen to eradicate ahead of Southend's visit to Meadow Lane on Tuesday.
"I think that just summed it up, it was a lack of focus and so many sloppy actions from us and that just summed it up.
"I have got no problems with the mistake, because if you are too worried to make a mistake then you can't try anything good because you end up doing nothing and being very safe - I don't want that at all.
"What I worry about is feeling like it was going to come and that a mistake was brewing and I don't like that feeling and I had that feeling today."
