An interview with…..

Anna Price (Wolverhampton Wanderers)

Burnley FC Women produced one of the surprise results
of the season on Sunday when they won 3-0 against
previously unbeaten Northern Premier Division leaders
Wolverhampton Wanderers, to stretch their unbeaten run
to seven matches.
Midfielder Nicola Worthington has been a key player
for the Clarets in recent seasons and she was delighted
with the team’s dominant performance in the match, as
well as being confident that the team are capable of
building on its recent good run and going on to better
things in the future:
WSS: A good win for you on Sunday at
Middlesbrough, how pleasing has the reaction
been to what had been your first defeat a couple
of weeks earlier?
AP: After a long trip up it was great to come away with
all three points. We take each week as it comes, it was a professional performance to execute
the game plan.
WSS: Middlesbrough have been in good form in recent weeks but you hit them
with early goals, was it a plan to take the game to them from the start?
AP: We knew it would be a tough game following on from their recent form. In training we
have been working on our creativity, and with the quality we have in our strikers we were
ruthless in front of goal.
WSS: With Derby losing and Fylde drawing, the league table is looking good for
you right now but are you not thinking about the title at this stage?
AP: We just have to concentrate on ourselves. Taking each game as it comes. We can only
control our team’s performance.
WSS: The next game for you is against Sheffield FC this week, what kind of match
are you expecting against them?
AP: It's always difficult to play against teams that have nothing to lose, every game is a tough
game for us and we prepare for each one exactly the same.
WSS: You have made a number of signings to strengthen the squad since last
summer, how significant to your title challenge have some of them been?
AP: Everyone in the squad has played their part in the season and the players coming in this
season have added strength and depth to Wolves, which was already a strong group of
players. Bringing in some players from a Championship club is only going to add quality
especially and I think it has made a difference in the final third.
WSS: Wolves Women are one of the long running women's football teams in the
country but if you can make it into the Championship, do you think it would go
down as the club's best ever achievement?
AP: All we are thinking about at the moment is each game ahead of us, one at a time. We can't
get ahead of ourselves. Our aim is to finish the league in the best position possible and then we
will set our next set of targets.
