In the dugout:
Tim Abramyan gave his preview before the fixture saying:
The last game was a very strong performance from us, leading by 3 goals to 0 after 18 minutes.
All the hard work we have put in this season really paid off and we produced a complete performance, also earning a clean sheet.
And looking back throughout the season, whether that’s been players developing, the squad growing in confidence, or simply finding ways to compete and improve every week— it’s clear we have been moving in the right direction.
The players have grown and developed not just as players but also as people, earning the highest points total since the club became part of WSL2 in 2014.
Looking ahead to our last fixture we are focused and motivated to finish the season with a win and cement the 4th place.
This will give us great foundations to build on next season which we have already started preparing for”.
