ALTHOUGH this was our biggest defeat of the season I believe there were many positives to be taken out of the game. Not least how we improved throughout the game as we got used to the step up in opposition. We lost the second half 8-4, which compared to the first of 10-2 is a massive improvement.
Our passing was probably the best it has ever been, with balls dropped at a minimum. We were able to pass under pressure and catch on the run, two skills we have been practicing so well done for pulling it off.
I think Berti needs a special mention in defense for her display, picking up every single ground ball and even saving a shot off the line.
Ben also had his best game of the season, always in space, and slowing the attack down as we needed.
Looking forward to next week we have to continue playing to our strengths. That is attacking as a team, playing the short passes up the pitch rather than the hopeful long ball.
Nottingham are a key contender for the third spot we are after so a win is vital.
