Huddersfield Town manager Mark Robins said his side's 6-1 thrashing by Nottingham Forest left him "the most embarrassed" he has been in his career.
.
The Terriers fell to a second heavy defeat in three days, having lost 4-1 to Wigan in the FA Cup on Sunday
..
Robins left Coventry last Thursday to succeed Simon Grayson as Town boss.
.
"Everyone has seen we need real men and players who are willing to stand up and be counted"
.
"I'd expect the players to be devastated because I am. This is the most embarrassed I have been as a manager," he told BBC Radio Leeds.
.
"The last 180 minutes has been poor and it has been a baptism of fire, that's for sure.
.
"As a new manager you want to get off to a good start and it hasn't happened yet. We have to pick ourselves up quickly."
.
Huddersfield have won just one of their last 16 league matches and have dropped to 21st in the Championship.
.
They host fellow strugglers Ipswich Town on Saturday and Robins is keen to add to his squad.
.
"We have to work and see if the right players become available," added Robins.
.
"Everyone has seen we need real men and players who are willing to stand up and be counted.
.
"We're in the midst of a real scrap and the strongest survive."
