Billy Jones bemoans West Bromwich Albion's slow start against Manchester City

Billy Jones believes that West Bromwich Albion let themselves down by allowing Manchester City to take a quick lead in their Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium on Monday evening.

The Baggies were two goals down within the first 10 minutes, and eventually succumbed to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Premier League title challengers.

"In recent games we've been starting really well and that was the plan again, but it was poor from us - we're really, really disappointed," Jones told the club's official website.

"It was a really, really poor start and to give these guys a 2-0 head start, it was always going to be a hard night."

West Brom are currently three points above the relegation zone in the table with four games left to play.
