Did anyone honestly think that our first game in a higher division, away to a big team was going to be easy?
Like many, I was disappointed with every aspect of our pre-season - but we still have time to bring people in and get this side working together.
You simply cannot judge what this season is going to be like from one game.
Early last season, I watched us get knocked out the League Cup at Ashton Gate by a side that was bottom of L2. And we put out a side that was 8/11 of our first choice XI too. The bloke who sits behind me said: "That's it! We're going to go down again!"
Do not be that man!! Do not prematurely evaluate!
As others have said, one positive to take is that Wes seemed comfortable in the role he was called on to play. I've long said that MF is maybe the way forward for him.
