Tanya Oxtoby, manager of the Northern Ireland women's football team, reflects on the team's 4-0 loss to Poland in the Nations League, highlighting issues in execution and early defensive lapses. Despite the defeat, Northern Ireland still have a chance to achieve promotion to League A, as their upcoming match against Bosnia-Herzegovina is pivotal. Oxtoby expressed disappointment in the first half but noted a better second half after adjustments were made. The team's positive debut performances were a silver lining as they focus on the crucial upcoming match.
We caused problems for ourselves, we addressed that at half-time and changed our shape to try and help in that area.
Despite the defeat, Northern Ireland's hopes of winning promotion to League A for the first time are still in their hands.
We tweaked some things at half time and the second-half performance was better.
The players know that we can be better and I've got full belief that we'll go on Tuesday and put in a really good performance.
