Dan Mellor, Manager, Nantwich Town FC Women, speaking after the match said:
“Today was a knock back down to earth sort of day. I don’t think we played particularly poorly with the ball, we created several chances and their keeper has pulled off some outrageous saves but we have to do better without the ball and cut out some of the silly mistakes.
“The girls know today wasn’t good enough, if you can’t win a game, you don’t throw it away like we did today, all 4 of their goals were down to errors and they were clinical with it.
“There’s no easy games in this league and we have our FA Cup game ahead this weekend so we’ll dust ourselves down, work on the training pitch on Wednesday and come back fighting on Sunday.”
