Wanderers under-18s fought back from two goals down at Leeds United but narrowly lost 3-2 in their latest U18 Professional Development League Two outing on Saturday.
The young Whites began the match well but fell behind when the hosts scored from a free kick.
Leeds made it 2-0 with a wonder strike and Lee's youngsters were up against it.
But a well-worked goal halved the deficit – Ronnie Pearson storming into the box to score from eight yards out.
And the visitors were level when Alex Samazideh latched on to a fine through ball from Pearson to make it two apiece.
It looked like Wanderers were heading for a deserved point but a lapse in concentration saw them caught out at the back to concede what proved to be the winner for the hosts.
Coach Lee believes it was a good experience for his youthful side and said: "We started the game very well then conceded a goal from a direct free kick and a wonder strike.
"We showed great character to get back in the game but got caught out to concede a third.
"It was a good learning curve for the players, learning how to stay in the game through difficult situations."
