Joe Sheehan made some interesting observations in his post match interview on the club feed on Sunday. Town women scored for fun in the first half of the season but in Joe's view had not controlled these games particularly well. They played very open, attacking football and often lost possession. In the second half of the season, Joe believed the women's team controlled games better and reduced the number of times they lost the ball. With less possession, opposing teams tended to sit back and make themselves very compact and difficult to break down.
This describes the men's team evolution over the course of the season from a more cavalier approach under Cook, to the more controlled football that McKenna favours.
Both teams appear to be at the same point in their development, capable of playing very well but needing to find a way to consistently break down stubborn teams, who set up to frustrate rather than play football. [Post edited 4 May 2022 13:26]
