Jen Wootten has urged her South Shields Women teammates to “bounce back stronger” after Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Spennymoor Town Ladies.
The Mariners took the lead in the 68th minute through captain Becki McMahon, before a quickfire double in the 78th and 80th minutes turned the game on its head.
It came as a particularly harsh blow according to Wootten, who felt the lasses had performed well in the circumstances, but nevertheless she recognised the need to learn from the result.
“I think we were the dominant side and played some good football on a difficult surface, so it’s frustrating to lose when you feel you’re the better team,” she said.
“They took advantage of our mistakes so we have to put those things right and bounce back stronger.”
One thing of note from a Shields perspective was that McMahon scored her third goal in only two matches, following her brace against Sunderland West End Ladies previously.
Wootten was full of praise for the defender, who managed to score a well-timed header during the second-half.
She said: “It’s great seeing Becki score!
“It’s always good seeing her get her reward for working hard and pushing on up the pitch.”
Wootten also highlighted some positive aspects and lessons for the team to take into future games.
“I think we can take away positives from passages of play where we dominated in possession and the team worked hard," the midfielder continued.
“There’s just some things that need tightening up so we don’t get caught in those vulnerable positions.
“However, we won’t dwell on it and we will fight again next weekend.”
The lasses visit Sunderland West End next - a team they thrashed 6-1 less than a fortnight ago - in the hopes of securing three lucrative points in the NERWFL Premier Division.
She finished: “We will take the positives from our last few games where we’ve shown dominance against teams, especially in the final third.
“It’s always a good match against West End so everyone is up for it.”
Full match details for our game this weekend will be shared in due course.

I was watching a dodgy Premier League stream on Saturday when a banner popped up showing a massive slot jackpot. I usually ignore those ads, but I was waiting for the VAR check and clicked it to kill time. Dafabet Casino The layout immediately stood out to me because the sportsbook and casino sections were perfectly integrated without clashing. I deposited a tenner into a football-themed slot and immediately hit a wall of dead spins. My balance dropped to literally two pence, and I was reaching for the close tab button, cursing my impatience. On that final spin, three scatter symbols landed out of nowhere, triggering a bonus round with expanding wilds. It multiplied my remaining pennies into a massive payout,…
A friend from my local pub kept going on about his recent bingo wins during our Friday night get-together. I ignored him at first because I usually stick to sports betting and had just lost a hefty sum on a horse race. dreambingo-casino.co.uk caught my attention because they offered free bingo rooms for newcomers, which is quite rare to find. I logged in feeling cynical and bought into a cheap slot game attached to the bingo lobby, losing spin after spin. My balance was dwindling fast, and I was already cursing my friend for giving me another useless tip. I decided to switch to a bingo room with my last few pounds and surprisingly matched the pattern within ten minutes. That…
Good afternoon. I came across this website while reading about different online resources that people in the UK were discussing. Since I usually like to form my own opinion, I spent some time looking through its pages. In BetGoodwin Casino I found a helpful explanation of the website's organization, page layout, and navigation. The content was grouped clearly, allowing me to browse comfortably without spending time figuring out where everything was located. Good organization always leaves a positive impression.
Live streaming technology has advanced significantly over the last few years, allowing British players to experience an authentic casino floor directly from their mobile phones. While searching for an objective portal that tests interactive game shows and high-definition dealer streams, I bookmarked https://motorbooks.co.uk/ for its unbiased operator comparison matrices. It is an absolute goldmine for anyone who values high software performance. Have you ever tried immersive live roulette?
I’m from the UK and found this site after seeing it mentioned in a casual discussion online about different gaming platforms and how they perform under normal use. I wasn’t expecting much, but I decided to compare it with others I’ve seen. While browsing, I opened grp casino again and spent time testing the general layout and game grouping. What stood out was that everything is placed in a predictable way, so it doesn’t take long to understand where things are. I made a small deposit only to test the process and then checked a few sections before leaving.
