“The Ipswich match was a credit to the two teams and it was an advert for women’s football and the pathway.
“We’ve got to grow from that, we’ve got to learn from that and we’ve got to come back stronger again.
“I trust these players and I know what they’ll do. They’ll support each other and we’ll be ready for Sunday’s game."
