Clarke, who had hoped to make the most of this season's cup competitions, watched as goals from Filipe Morais, Tom Dallison, and Ashley Nadesan cancelled out Caolan Lavery's second-half brace to see the Red Devils through to Round Two.
Speaking to the assembled media Clarke admitted he was disappointed as his side suffered their first defeat of the season despite starting the game well and forcing their opponents onto the back-foot for lengthy spells of the first-half.
The manager also admitted that his team have to get out of the habit of conceding the first goal as they continue to show plenty of endeavour but no end product.
