Brighton & Hove Albion women manager James Marrs says there is still more to come from his side after an accomplished 3-1 victory over Gillingham at Culver Road tonight.Albion ensured they began the season with back-to-back victories, but could have made the win even more emphatic after creating a host of chances.
He told seagulls.co.uk, “It’s nice to get the win and it’s a reward for all the work we do on the training pitch.
“For the players, winning is fairly important but for us as coaching staff, we want to knuckle down and analyse where we went wrong and what can we look to improve on in the next game.
“Our finishing and our end product in the final third could have been a whole lot better and players missing the target from five or six yards out is inexcusable. But I haven’t worked on those areas yet so I don’t expect us to be the finished article.”

“It was a decent goal and a good finish from Kirsty. Lucy has also done well and it was her first goal in a while. She looked really sharp once she settled into the game and I’m pleased that both players got off the mark tonight.
“I’d also like to thank all the supporters that turned up and it was good to see all the youngsters from the centre of excellence here as well.
