vs
11:00 AM / Sat 17 May
That game is what is after referred to as a coach killer. I was quietly confident of a strong performance against the bottom of the table team, who were yet to win a game, and who would blame me....
We started strong (as usual) and spent the first 10 minutes in their half, but still struggling to score a goal. Then suddenly a break away run and a goal... to them.... closely followed by another.... 15 minutes in we were 2-0 down, despite spending most of the time in their half.
Was getting worried, it was going to be a bit of a mission to come back and win... then just before half time, Lucy found some pace and shot with her left foot... and scored! Yeah there might be some hope yet.
Half time team talk was all positive and girls were obviously keen to go out there in the 2nd half and turn the game around.. spreading the defense and passing into space were key messages, which they clearly took on board.
We were 2 players down, so I know it would need a huge effort from the girls to play at full pace all the way to the end, and they surely did. What a great 2nd half. 2 excellent team effort goals, with the balls passed through the midfield and beyond the defense creating clear striking opportunities for both Sophie and Anna... kept them goalless in the 2nd half to win a tough but well deserved 3-2 victory. Great TEAM effort.
Player of the day went to Clara, who had a strong game on the wing, moving into space for passes and helping her team mates by finding good positions for passes.
