Sarah Mayling believes the squad need to be honest with themselves after the loss

A tough result for LCFC Women, the Foxes haven’ tasted victory in the league since an October win over Durham on home soil.

Enduring four losses and a draw in the league since then, Mayling admitted it is not good enough and that work has to be done to rectify the situation.

Mayling understands that the squad must work hard to turn things around.

“We’re all disappointed,” the captain explained. “I think in the first half, we moved the ball too slowly, gave them a sloppy goal again and we really need to fix it.

“We need to start the game well and be more energetic. Win the first ball, win the second balls, and we say that week on week, but we’ll go again, train hard and we know we have to fix it.”

Understanding that there is no other way to fix this current situation, other than getting back to work on the training field, the fullback urged the team to stick together and find a way through the tough times.

Learning from defeat to move on to the next challenge.

Mayling added: “The group are positive and we are trying really hard in training to get better. It’s the little details which are making a big difference. All in all, I think we just need to be better for 90 minutes.

“We have to look at the game and be honest with each other, like we’ve been in previous weeks. We have to learn, we have a young group, there’s a lot of things we can learn from.

“Next weekend is a big one, so if we need any motivation, I think it’s there.”
