"The work rate, passion and fight these girls put into every game is second to none and speaks volumes for the culture in the group," he said. "The positive for us today was the amount of chances we are creating. If we were not creating goal scoring opportunities I would be concerned. However we have to work on being more clinical in that final third and that is an area we now need to concentrate on now."
