Speaking after the game, Richie Wellens says a poor start before kick-off laid the precedent.
“The attitude was poor from the start, if we stay humble, do the basics right, listen, and take out onto the pitch what we’ve worked on then we’re alright, we’ll pick up results in this league. But when players decide to drift off and do whatever they want to do then that’s what we got served up.
“I’ve never watched our warm-up but I watched it today because our changing rooms, obviously they’ve moved them, so you can see the warm-up. Our warm-up I’m not happy with at all.
“I said to Warren Joyce when they came in if the game was won on the warm-up, we’re already beat, it was a shambles so I’ll be looking into that. The game started off pretty much as what I’d seen in the warm-up.
