He said, "First game of the season, we weren't clinical enough and they played with a back five so it was congested in there and we needed to be a bit more intricate."

In a big year for Wilson, he was also asked about the World Cup finals in Qatar.

He said: "I back myself, I want to go the World Cup so it's about hitting the ground running. I'm disappointed I didn't score more.

"I'm confident in all the players and staff here, we had a good end to the season last year and started well today but we don't want to get carried away."
