Areas for Improvement

Touchline
The most glaring issue this season was defensive organization and resilience. The team conceded an average of over 5 goals per game, indicating a need for tactical adjustments, defensive training, and perhaps a reshuffle of personnel. Additionally, offensive productivity was limited, so improving goal-scoring capabilities will be crucial moving forward.
