Rhian Wilkinson backs Wales to bounce back from ‘worst performance’ against Slovakia
Wales captain Angharad James says her side failed to show their usual “passion and pride” but reiterated that Morgan’s late goal gives them hope for the return leg in Cardiff on Tuesday.
“It’s disappointing. It wasn’t a performance we wanted but it’s half-time (in the tie),” James said.
“We’ve got the home leg on Tuesday and it’s more important than ever so hopefully we can get a big crowd.
“There are new partnerships that take time to build but there wasn’t the passion or pride we would have liked. We could have given more.
“We will learn from it and we will be better on Tuesday.”
Wales have come close to qualifying for a major tournament for the first time in their last three qualification cycles and Wilkinson believes the players’ huge desire to make history led to them playing “frantically”.
“We played with a franticness that I haven’t seen before and that is where a team that hasn’t quite made it a couple of times, you see that coming out and we are better than that,” she said.
“They want it so much; this is what I mean when I talk about the naivety of the team on occasion, they get stretched because they dive in to tackles when they shouldn’t, they go chasing and then as soon as they connect as a team you see what they can do.”
Wilkinson felt the 2-1 defeat was the most Wales deserved from a game they were favourites to win.
“We are very fortunate it is a home and away series and we get to bring it home now, we have a one goal deficit to make up,” she added.
“I think we were lucky to go in at half-time at 0-0 and I told the players that. This game has to mean something for the growth of our team. I thought they could have scored and made it 3-0 at one point.
“As soon as we started playing our football and had them running after us you saw how many chances we created. We’ve got to look for the positives and we are definitely looking forward to getting home in front of our fans and using that energy to spur the team on.”
Wales improved markedly after substitute Jess Fishlock came on, with Wales’ most-capped player and record goalscorer providing the assist for Morgan’s potentially vital late goal.
However, Wilkinson says Wales cannot use the absence of Fishlock – and cap centurion Sophie Ingle who is out until 2025 after ACL surgery – as excuses.
“We have to look at what we were doing in terms of giving ourselves a chance in Cardiff and we started to put pressure on them and had some opportunities and finally getting the ball in the back of the net gives us a confidence going home that I am pleased about,” Wilkinson added.
“If you don’t have Jess Fishlock on the field she’s a huge miss and the same with Sophie Ingle. It’s a long time (five years) since we were without the pair of them but that is not an excuse, because we have the depth.
“What we were probably lacking was ‘who do you look to when times are tough?’ but the players out on the pitch need to stand tall for Wales.”

Luke Littler’s opponent admits ‘I was concerned all the way through’ after teen suffers another shock early exit
ANDREW GILDING admitted he was “concerned all the way through” after upsetting Luke Littler.
Littler, 17, lost for the first time to Goldfinger as he was dumped out of the Dortmund tournament in a 6-4 first-round loss.
Gilding, who is 36 years the senior man, was never behind in the contest.
But despite the Nuke managing to draw level at 3-3 and 4-4, it ended up being a shock result.
Although there were some nervy moments for Gilding when the comeback looked to be on.
He said: “Oh yeah, I was concerned all the way through. I know what he’s like, he can really turn it on sometimes.
“I just get up there, throw my darts and hope for the best.”
Teen sensation Littler had lost in the opening round of the World Matchplay in Blackpool and the World Grand Prix in Leicester.
And even though he is the Premier League champion, he will be flying back early to the UK following this surprise defeat.
It also means that there will not be a feisty reunion with German star Ricardo Pietreczko in the second round – the pair clashed in dramatic scenes earlier this year.

Gilding, who led 3-0 at one point, made amends for losing to Littler when he was a seed at the last PDC World Darts Championship second round.
He said: “I didn’t expect this, watching how Luke had played lately.
“I am always short of self-belief. I never expect to win a game.
“Especially against Luke and especially as I had an awful cold as well. I am on the tailend of that. I felt awful coming up to this.
“I did say beforehand I wanted to cross him off the list. It was the third time I’d played him. So it’s third time lucky.
“It’s a huge win. The last thing I had expected. Nobody expected this.
“I was thinking about the flights home on Saturday. The way he had played lately was exceptional.
“I was resigned to losing. In practice, I was awful until the last hour but it came together.”

Bearman could have been radioed earlier before Mexico FP1 clash
Alex Albon chose not to blame Oliver Bearman for their Mexico Grand Prix FP1 clash, and felt that Ferrari told its reserve driver too late that the Williams Formula 1 driver was approaching.
Albon came across Bearman on the run-up to the high-speed sequence of Turns 7-8-9 and lifted off in anticipation of encountering the Ferrari. This caused his FW46 to lose grip and it began to snap, resulting in Albon swiping Bearman at Turn 9 and subsequently ending up in the wall at Turn 10.
In the immediate aftermath, Albon was heard to refer to Bearman as an “idiot” over the radio. However, the Anglo-Thai driver changed his thoughts on the incident.
Instead, he feels that Ferrari could have done more to warn Bearman – running as an FP1 rookie driver for Austin winner Charles Leclerc – of the situation, and that the young Briton was caught out by the faster closing speeds in F1.
“I think he got told, listening to the radio, very late that I was coming up behind him,” Albon said.
“He tried his best to speed up into the two or three high-speed corners, we caught each other at the worst moment on track that you can.
“I think there was a 100km/h difference in terms of speed. I don’t blame myself, but I don’t think it’s all on Ollie.
“I think he could have been told a bit better, and of course he’s new, the closing speeds in F1 are much higher than F2. But it’s not his fault.”
The incident was investigated by the stewards, but deemed to be not worthy of further action; the report stated that “both drivers agreed that Bearman’s positioning was not unreasonable, but was unfortunate as it was close to Albon’s line. Had Bearman been slightly further down the track it would not have resulted in an incident. All parties agreed that it was a racing incident.”
Following the severe damage to his Williams, Albon did not take part in the second practice session as extensive repairs continued throughout the run-time of the session.
Reflecting on the lost running, Albon said that he hoped the use of FP2 as a Pirelli tyre test would mitigate the damage to his weekend, as drivers participating ran with unmarked 2025 prototype tyres.
“Two laps is frustrating – we’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow,” Albon added.
“But hopefully [FP2 is] less important than a normal weekend, obviously FP2 was a Pirelli test. So in some ways, possibly less learned from other teams because they weren’t running tyres from this year.
“I’m hoping that it just means the lack of track time is less compromising.”

England in Pakistan: Ben Stokes backs struggling batters after series defeat
The backing of Pope is a familiar trait of Stokes and McCullum’s tenure, with a number of batters, notably opener Zak Crawley, retained despite a run of low scores.
Crawley repaid England by averaging 53.33 in last year’s Ashes series but has not managed a century since.
He is viewed as a player who could perform well in Australia, where England travel for the next Ashes series in the winter of 2025-26.
Stokes denied the current top six are certain of their place when the Ashes begins but was firm in their defence.
“You can’t shut the door on everything,” he said. “Then you are being single-minded towards what you want to do.
“But back to what I said before, there is no doubt in my mind that we have the best top six batsmen in England.”
England are guaranteed to make one change to their batting line-up in New Zealand, with wicketkeeper Jamie Smith expected to miss part or all of the series for the birth of his first child.
Essex wicketkeeperJordan Cox is in line to take Smith’s place and he could put further pressure on Pope with a good series.
Stokes himself struggled in Pakistan, with a top score of 37 across four innings. He was bizarrely dismissed lbw playing no shot as England’s slump continued in Rawalpindi.
“I am always trying to evolve and adapt whether against spin or pace,” he said.
“The disappointment is always there, it always hits hard, but when you have so much experience to fall back on it is a little bit easier to take.”
