Tranmere manager Les Parry admitted his side were architects of their own downfall after Bournemouth won 3-0 at Prenton Park.
The Cherries put speculation about striker Brett Pitman behind them with a thumping win after goals from Josh McQuoid, Michael Symes and Marc Pugh.
Parry said: "No-one is more disappointed than me. We pressed the self-destruct button repeatedly.
"But we started both halves really well and performance-wise it is not as bad as the result would suggest.
"Bournemouth are obviously a good side and they will be thereabouts at the end of the season.
"Too many times when we gave them the ball they countered swiftly and we did not really deal with it. There was no lack of passion as some fans would suggest and the lads are absolutely gutted."
