The Performance Wasn’t Good Enough Says Howard.

A busy week of fixtures came to a disappointing end last weekend when newly-promoted Crystal Palace handed the Foxes a defeat on home turf, following two second-half goals from Annabel Blanchard.

Following a tough day at the office, Leicester’s central defender spoke to the media and admitted the team’s performance just wasn’t good enough to warrant any form of points.

“I’m utterly disappointed,” Howard stated. “Let’s not talk about the result, but just the performance; it wasn’t good enough and it wasn’t us. I think we never found our way into the game. We need to have a hard look at ourselves and learn from the that.

The Foxes failed to break down the Palace defence.

“I’m not sure what went wrong yet, it’s too soon to say. I’m going to have to have a look at it but we couldn’t close the distance and we couldn’t build connections in possession.

“That pretty much left us not getting into the game, or taking hold of it and with that lack of control, it ended the way it did.”

Only three games in to the Amandine Miquel era, Howard believed time is required to understand what is required but admitted that shouldn’t be an excuse for Sunday’s display on Filbert Way.

She added: “On the journey, we’re aware of what’s needed and it’s just part of the season having a new management. We always look at the objective of the game and today we didn’t tick any of them. Of course it’s going to take time, but that’s not an excuse and today just wasn’t good enough.

“The league is always getting more competitive but I think our squad is getting stronger so we are more than capable of competing. The pressure that there is about getting our first three points is external; internally we’re focused on the performances.
