Cheltenham Town Women’s manager Tom Davies was disappointed after his side’s 4-0 loss away to Fulham after back to back wins.
Davies stated that, “When you play against topsides you can accept when you put in top performances, that they can do that little bit extra or have that little bit more or extra quality, whatever it is.”
Cheltenham’s form has been improving with them putting in better performances recently in comparison to the beginning of the season, picking up seven points in their last five league games.
“We have put on some really good performances recently and we’ve been in a really good space.”
Davies believes his side, “Didn’t have any intensity or belief,” and that “Fulham never got out of second gear, that for us is the most disappointing thing.”
He added, “We can accept defeats, we can accept moments, but we know that we have to be at our best.”
Cheltenham now have a weekend without a game after being knocked out in the first round of the Women’s FA Cup to Portsmouth last month losing 4-0 at Fratton Park.
Manager Davies is looking at the week off as a positive, “Now we have an opportunity to go and put some minutes and some hours on the training pitch.”
“It gives us four more sessions to go and work on the things we’ve got to work on.”
Looking ahead at the next few games he added, “We’ve got three really challenging fixtures in the next few weeks, we need to make sure we’re at our best and that’s the challenge for the group!”
Cheltenham Town Women’s side host AFC Wimbledon on 22nd November.
