A massive shout out to Ruby, who saved two penalties and even scored one - just goes to show what a quality goalkeeper we have in our team.
In the FA Youth Cup, playing for Ruislip Manor, it’s my turn to take a penalty… and I miss. So I know how it feels, but anyone accepting the responsibility to take a penalty for their team is brilliant. I think of the things I did in previous games and in that game, even in games after, and I think there was a lot more I did right to help the team.
Sunday was a special day, cup games have that added spice. We felt we trained extremely hard, were very organised with the preparation and information; to date, last Friday session was the best we delivered from a coaching point and the level of quality in training from the players.
We can see things starting to take shape in defence and attack. Naturally we have quality in abundance: going forward, we look like we’re going to score every time. What has improved, being our main focus in training, has been working without the ball: in recent games, the decrease in shots Ruby has to save is down to how organised and strong we are off the ball.
We have a team now that has quality with ball and will work hard to win it back and will do anything to keep the ball out of our goal. We have quality all over the pitch, 16 girls who are playing fantastic attacking and defending football. We now turn our attention to Sunday’s match: no game is ever easy but we go in full of confidence.
