I genuinely believe if we can get a moment and take it, then the momentum will shift.

The crowd will probably start to get agitated, and they've obviously won one of five in the league, so this was a big one for them to try and propel themselves away from the bottom cluster within the league.

I felt we just needed to get a little bit more connectivity higher.

I felt everyone was dropping towards the ball too much and we were leaving our top line isolated and we weren't able to.

So I think as soon as we got Sophie Barker playing in between their front two, our eights playing higher, nines playing higher, wingbacks playing higher, make this pitch even bigger than what it is, we were able then to get on the ball loads.

And I thought some real good patterns.

I was really happy with how we kind of controlled the game well.

with the ball, but it was the turnover moments that I wasn't happy with.

The rest of the defence, as soon as we lost the ball, we then looked fragile in the transition.

What if we lose it?

Are we prepared to then defend where the space is?

Who were their threats?

And they played that well.

And like you said, all the way through to 70-75, I thought we're trying to roll the dice, trying to change it, trying to create moments where one goal and the whole game changes.

And unfortunately, the goal went...

winning our goal, 3-0, then it went to four and then you're thinking damage limitation in terms of don't allow any more.

We want to see a mentally resolute team at 3-0 and unfortunately the errors, they're individual errors, they're individual moments where we need to be concentrated better, we need to have better decision making, better detail and they're really easily avoidable goals and I don't want to pin players and pin it down to them but ultimately that's the level when you step up to the WSL2.

Yeah, well, we've had the conversations with the board and they're really supportive of us to try and get some numbers in and especially in attacking areas.

As you said, I thought Meg Hornby, I thought Hank Cohn, I thought them two really stood out for us today and Meg was one of the players that had the impetus to try and get us a goal even towards the end, dancing through players and a shot going over.

She was threatening today.
