Jo Potter: We Will Continue To Move Forward

JO POTTER wants her Gers players to quickly move on to what lies ahead after today’s Old Firm match ended in a goalless draw.

The Light Blues faced off against their city rivals for the final time this campaign but cancelled each other out as the two teams remain separated only by goal difference in the SWPL standings.

Speaking to RangersTV after the stalemate at Broadwood Stadium, the head coach knows there is still three games to go with anything able to happen in the run-in towards the end of the league season.

She commented: “It is difficult, because it is hard to tell straight after the game, I think we had enough chances to win it.

“We knew we wanted to win the game, the emphasis was probably on us to get three points more than them because of goal difference.

“I think you could see that, substitutions were made, how we played in the last 15 minutes.

“We were trying to win the game whereas I think they were probably trying to play for a draw, because they knew it was enough for them.

“It is difficult but there is still three games left, anything can happen we've seen that.

“You have got to be perfect every single game and it is really tough to do that, especially when the pressure is on.

“We need to make sure that we are doing our work, we have not lost this game today.

“Chances were there to win it; it is unfortunate that we didn't but we have got to move on and we have got to crack on.”

“We have got to make sure we prepare for City really well.”

“It is huge, anything can happen, the last week of the season is a three-game week which is madness in itself but it is.

“That is going to be tough, especially for squads that don't have a big squad size. It is going to be a hard week at the end of a very long season.

“We have got to make sure that we are using our squad I have said it from minute one it is very important for us.

“We have got fresh players; we have got players ready to go.

“We need to dig in, go again and make sure we are moving on.”

The former Lioness feels things could have worked out differently on another day such as the fine margins but now wants the Light Blues to quickly turn their attention to facing Glasgow City this Sunday in their penultimate away fixture of the season.

She added: “That's it, that's the problem on another day it does go in.

“You see the result against Hearts on another day those chances go in, it looks very different.

“That is football for you, it is never perfect, it never always goes your way.

“We are still waiting for those moments where it does drop to us.

“I said to the girls I don't think we have scored a scrappy goal. I think every goal that we have scored has been a very good goal, a worked goal.

“Not quite had that rub of the green where something just drops to you at the right moment at the right time but we are still creating chances.

“At the very death there we still had a chance to be able to nick it.

“That is the big thing for us, we have got to make sure that we stay in it.

“Keep our heads in it, should they slip up we are right there to take the emphasis and move forward.”
