GARETH TAYLOR REACTION 🗣️

“Yeah [we’re] disappointed. I think we had some issues in the first half, really struggling to find any kind of rhythm and trying to play through the middle of the pitch.

“It was really difficult with their pressure they were putting on us and we had difficulties with the pitch as well. We adjusted some things at half-time and felt better in the second period.

“We looked better with Viv on the pitch, Mary out wide and being able to bring Bunny into it as well. We would’ve liked to have done it a bit longer but we have to manage their load and with games coming up.”

WIENROITHER REACTION 🗣️

“When you’re winning 1-0 quite close to the end and you put in a hard fight to score, because it was a tough game, it was a good opponent to play against.

“When you’re 1-0 up and you concede last minute, it’s very frustrating. I think we just need to be a bit smarter when we’re 1-0 up and we want to bring the three points.

“In these situations you have to be smart as a team because it is all about the three points and if it’s a difficult game it’s always a fight and we took the fight well today.

“Everyone put in a big shift and that’s why it’s a little more frustrating that we didn’t get the result we wanted.”
