Ashley Westwood Press Conference | Charlotte FC vs Atlanta United

asy tough game tonight you know what do you make of the loss uh another disappointing performance home and this stage of the Season we can't have many more of them otherwise we'll regret it so we need to pick ourselves up work hard the next couple of weeks we got another weekend off and then we need to go out the blocks and we've got a real important stretch of the Season there nice after that 3-we period where you guys didn't play you know these two uh matches were kind of golden opport OPP unities to be able to solidify and fight for that four spot what do you think has been missing from this team these last two games we've been flat it's like I said before it's not it's not been good enough and we know that we've gone away from what we were doing before the break putting it in behind stretching teams so we need to get back to the basics and we need to we start working hard again and cuz that that certainly that's last two weeks definitely not good enough so looking ahead you got a week off and you got a good stretch with some like you said playoff potential what during this time off are you going to focus more managers talked about the final third being taking better shots looking at those is is that just all it's going to take or yeah I mean we're still not conceding many goals so that's that's a positive we're getting in the final third and then we look like we're rushing everything so we need to we need to take accountability for that and and certainly improve because we can't keep we can't keep letting teams score one and win in the game here we need to we need to score more goals at home that's for sure and the club has uh only come back from conceding a first goal once this year and that was actually against Atlanta there you're I think one and N or one and eight in those so when you do ConEd goals what is the mentality that needs to happen that did not happen well I thought today we we reacted well we we nearly went back and SC scored straight away but second half it felt like we were always in there half playing and yeah it's just back to back to what we've been saying all season we need to be back in the final third uh in that in the final third right theoretically you've added more pieces to this team to improve right what do you see missing up there is there something that maybe the team's not clicking up top I just think it's we need to we need to go out there more we need to not worry about making mistakes and we need to take ownership of our of what we're doing with the ball and try things cuz at the minute we're getting there and it looks a bit it looks a bit slow and we we don't we don't quite find the final ball so it's about not worrying giving the ball away if if we give the ball away then we hunt and get it back and and play in there off more that's that's what I think we need to do more of nice and then just the chemistry with pep what are you seeing there what are you noticing adding a player like him to this he's an excellent player and uh the way the way he Maneuvers the ball you saw in the first half he was making some great runs in behind and he he had a good connection with with Le so like I said it was his first start and now he's got a couple of weeks to to get used to us and hopefully like I said the last the last seven games of the Season we we make a real push good thank you thank you thank you thank you
