First game back and the girls can be proud of their performance, second half especially.
We were too slow in the first half and let them have too much time to pick passes and create chances, we didn't get out quick enough so the ball just kept coming back.
Second half we were a lot better, challenging all over the pitch, getting higher and playing in their half.
We had them pinned in their box but just couldn't find a way through, Arabella forcing their keeper into an excellent save, with a first time shot that was bending into the top corner.
Ava was outstanding. Save after save, hands feet, body - probably the best game she's had.
They are a very good team and second half, we gave them a real battle. This is a tough league so we've got to rediscover our nasty, physical side that we had when we first started playing. If we can do that and add it to the good football, we'll be fine.
Well done girls.
Well done Ava, POTG
