WHAT INTERIM HEAD COACH JOSH MOFFET SAID

"We just need a little bit more of communication. If the goalkeeper calls it or if the defender calls it. If we had been a little bit more decisive I don't think the goal would have happened. If they were creating a lot of goal-scoring opportunities that would be a problem. We just need to continue to look at ourselves and see how we can get better."
