JEFF Hughes said he had no idea how Notts County failed to see off Bournemouth last night.
The Magpies scored twice in 11 minutes in the first half through Jeff Hughes and leading scorer Yoann Arquin to lead the Cherries 2-0 and looked to be cruising to a vital three points.
But they pressed the self-destruct button big time in the second half, conceding twice in nine minutes. Winger Jamal Campbell-Ryce then scored from the penalty spot to put them 3-2 ahead in the closing minutes, but Bournemouth sub Matt Tubbs still had time to break their hearts with a dramatic late leveller to make it 3-3.
Hughes said: "I have no idea how we didn't win that one.
"We're kicking ourselves with their goals, especially the third one.
"I don't know how it got through three of our players and the goalkeeper. I don't think theirs was a penalty either.
"Their player was laughing afterwards, saying he was outside the box.
"It was one of those nights, which we seem to have at home.
"We're very disappointed.
"It's not through a lack of effort; it just seems like it's the way it's going here at the minute.
"If you score three goals at home you should win."
Hughes put Notts ahead on 21 minutes with his third goal of the season and Arquin doubled their lead on 32 minutes, beating ex-England goalkeeper David James.
But Josh McQuoid pulled a goal back for the visitors on 51 minutes and Harry Arter made it 2-2 from the penalty spot, after Magpies' captain Neal Bishop tripped Marc Pugh in the box.
Campbell-Ryce struck from the spot on 83 minutes, but Tubbs scored just two minutes later to snatch three points away from Keith Curle's side.
