I don't think there was any deliberate thinking to sit back and defend a one goal lead. We were just average to poor on the ball so it's inevitable they kepy coming at us. Disappointingly although we defended ok in open play it was against free kicks and corners we looked most at risk.
No way Ellie Roebuck is going to dominate her box when the ball is lumped in but I expect more from Steph and especially Beatts. It amazes me how easily attackers seems to get a gead on the ball when those two should be attacking balls and getting them away. We have seen it in other games and it has cost us.
What missing today, ( it is far too often) is composure. Poor first touches, rushed passes, taking shots on when a pass is better etc etc
So we didn't build on the game v The Arse but reverted to the pattern v the likes of Reading and Bristol?
