"We can get better" says Rick Passmoor.

The Lady Pies beat Bristol Academy 1-0 in FA WSL Continental Tyres Cup competition last Sunday.

Notts Ladies had previously lost to Chelsea in the Womens FA cup final at Wembley and again to them, rather surprisingly as they are currently bottom of the league, in FA WSL 1 league the following week.

Rachel Williams first half goal was enough to win the match.

Ellen White also had a couple of chances go wide and Jess Clarke had a goal disallowed for being offside.

Lady Pies manager Rick Passmoor said "this win will have helped restore confidence".

“We’ve had a bit of a tough time, but we had ten days to recharge the batteries” he said.

“We then sat down and had a real big heart-to-heart about what can we do and where we can get better and a lot of it is just about confidence and hopefully today will go towards that."

“We needed to get the belief back. We can’t turn into bad players and a bad team overnight."

“We have to look at the mentality of the lead up to the FA Cup and how much it took out of them, and then reassuring them and showing them lots of evidence about how they played in the first half of the season."

“Today was about getting that win, getting the confidence back. We had the chances and hopefully there is a bag full of goals coming.”

Bristol didn't create many chances and substitute, Frankie Fantom-Brown was stretchered off with 20 minutes remaining leaving them to play with 10 players but their manager, Willie Kirk, accepted that the better team on the day had won.
