Despite their opening day victory, Dan McNamara is eager to see his team improve in the final third in the upcoming matches. Wolves Women claimed a 4-0 win over Stourbridge at SEAH Stadium, but McNamara acknowledged that the quality in the final third fell short of his expectations. However, he commended the contributions of the young players who came off the bench and emphasized the importance of rotating the squad with the demanding schedule ahead.

**On the opening day victory:**
“There were some good moments and aspects we’ve shown throughout pre-season, but overall, I thought we were very poor. We didn’t handle the ball well, didn’t move it as we’ve been doing, and our final third play was far from what it should be today. The entries into the final third were good, and we delivered some quality balls into the box, but even though a 4-0 win is usually a great result, and there were positives, we’re still a little way off where we want to be.”

**On the performances of younger players:**
“If you’re looking for a positive today, it’s the three youth players who came off the bench, including Josie Smith. I thought Josie was outstanding, and her link-up play with the two loan players was key in getting our third goal. Amelia Hiscox came on and made a significant impact on the game at just 16 years old, showing she has a bright future. Marty MacPhail and Ania Denham also impressed, with Ania scoring a goal after a challenging year, which was fantastic for her. Overall, those three, along with Josie, were the standouts in a day of mixed emotions.”

**On the coming weeks:**
“We have some big games ahead, and with three-game weeks approaching quickly, it’s crucial that we manage our players well and ensure everyone gets game time. Layla Banaras missed out today due to a late registration, but she’ll be ready for next week. It’s going to be a long, tough season, and I told the girls that we’ve got Destiney Toussaint coming back soon and potentially some new additions to the squad. It’s competitive, and that’s exactly what we want—a squad with healthy competition.”
