Our under-23s slipped to a disappointing 4-1 defeat against West Brom in the Premier League Cup on Thursday night.
A combination of injuries and international absentees forced Kevin Betsy into fielding a much-changed starting line-up.
West Brom took the lead inside six minutes as Tom Fellows capitalised on some indecision in our defence to fire beyond Remy Mitchell.
We found ourselves two goals down just minutes later, Ryan Cleary slotting home from close range, again after we were caught playing out from the back.
Ray Tulloch scored a third for the visitors on 20 minutes, finding the bottom corner past Mitchell after a turnover of possession in midfield.
