Hull City Under-18s winger Billy Leach admitted it was difficult for the team to get any sort of rhythm to their play in the 3-0 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday.
An Alex Bonnington hat-trick condemned the Tigers to defeat in the Under-18 Professional Development League.
“I think there was too many turnovers in the game,” said Leach.
“We didn’t create enough chances in the first half and we didn’t get as many shots off as we usually do.
“At half-time, John (Anderson) and Matt (Hare) spoke to us about tidying up our play and needing runners further forward, as well as winning both first and second balls to try and get back into the game.
