Somerset bowler Steffan Jones says the Cidermen must avoid slipping into their old ways of crumbling under pressure.
Jones hit three sixes in his innings of 42 on Sunday but was unable to prevent Glamorgan's 19-run FP Trophy victory.
"Out in Dubai [in pre-season] we played really nicely and scraped it home when the Somerset of the past would have folded," Jones told BBC Somerset.
"We thought we'd got over that hurdle of buckling under pressure. But we'll get in the nets on Tuesday and focus."
"But if we play like we have done, apart from this game, then we'll beat every side."
The Welshman feels that Sunday's defeat was the kind of mistake that Somerset can not afford to make too often in the group stages of the tournament:
"It was an opportunity missed with Glamorgan not being the strongest side in the area so the boys are very disappointed.
"We bowled nicely as a unit, we lost it mainly in the first 15 overs when we batted.
"All was needed was a partnership of any substance, whether it was 50 or 60, that would get our momentum going but we kept losing wickets in clusters."
