But this will happen more and more according to new boss Cotton.
He said: "When you prepare through the week for the game and look forward to it to get competitive football started and it stops like that it’s very frustrating. I feel it’s something that could happen quite a few times this season so we better get used to it.
"I think everyone is trying their best at the moment and our club certainly is. With the times we are in it’s just something we might need to get used to and work with as the season goes on."
