From Head Coach Michael O'Neill
"Like a lot of games in recent weeks, we failed to capitalize on the numerous chances we created. To have 28 shots and not score one really highlights the area in which we need to improve on. We have been constantly punished by teams wiith our defensive mistakes and yet we do not inflict the same on them. We work extremely hard to create these chances so the girls need to hold themselves accountable. We are in desperate need of girls showing some quality in the final third and without this we will find it difficult to win games."
