Yzzy Taylor Swans Women

Assistant manager Yzzy Taylor: “We’re expecting a tough game, especially for us away from home, we expect them to be organised, they’ll be looking to get something out of the game so it’s important we go and give the best account of ourselves.

“Where we are at in this current time, performance is important, but we are really looking for that result and we hope we can get back to winning ways and score a few more goals.

“We know this will be a different challenge than they have given us previously, they’ll be a different outfit with new players and a new manager, so it’s important we take our best game to them and apply pressure.”
