After the disappointment of last week I was looking for a response from our lot and wanted to see what they were really made of and they answered me in fine style with a solid performance and victory to complete the treble over Marlborough Ladies this season.
Last Sunday the first-team lost their first league game of the season away to promotion rivals Plymouth. Therefore, it was important to bounce back and we were looking for a response from our team.
There wasn’t really anything spectacular about Slough. I didn’t feel they had any players who were vastly superior to ours, but what they did have and used very well, was their experience.
They clearly had players who have been there and done it before and that told as the match progressed and they capitalised on one too many individual errors that we made and got their rewards for it.
This was a really good and committed performance from the players and collectively we deserved to win the match as we contained Bristol City really well and also created some good opportunities ourselves.
The recent line-ups have suggested we’re planning and developing now for next season. There were a lot of youngsters on the pitch and given that we’ve recently played the likes of Antonio German too, who also made the squad again, it’s clear to me that we’re developing for next season. So this was a great result, which was needed and very welcome.
When you coach a football team, or even when you follow one as a fan, either from the sidelines, in the stands or from watching them on the tele, no matter what your level of experience is with football, you end up forming opinions and making observations about players and their quality.
Since I’ve been involved with the QPR Ladies I’ve encountered many ways to interpret quality and have recently learned some valuable lessons that keeps me on my toes and constantly makes me review the way I study football.
I really liked the way we started the match and thought we looked cool and composed. There was a control about our play and a technical superiority early on that Forest Green struggled to deal with and I sensed right from the start that we had enough in the locker to win the game.
