The Ledger
Moolnwick's Season 22 was marked by defensive struggles that significantly impacted their league position, finishing 7th with 24 points. While they showed some offensive capability with 26 goals, their inability to contain opponents led to a negative goal difference and a below-par season rating. Strengths include their resilience in securing wins and maintaining some competitiveness, but the main area for growth is undoubtedly defensive solidity to improve results and climb higher in the standings.
