Kingston Sharks Under 14's are struggling for form, managing just 3 points from their last 6 games (17% of available points). Their 1-0-5 (W-D-L) record shows difficulties picking up results, with 5 defeats outweighing the 1 wins.
Concern mounts as the team is on a 4-game losing streak. Finding a way to stop the rot and get back to winning ways is the immediate priority. However, there are signs of a dip with fewer points earned recently compared to earlier matches. Halting this decline before it becomes a pattern is important.
The attack has been reasonably productive with 12 goals at 2.0 per game. There's room for improvement, but the team is creating and converting chances. Worryingly, goals have dried up in recent fixtures compared to earlier in this run.
The defense has leaked 25 goals at an alarming 4.2 per game. This vulnerability is putting enormous pressure on the attack to outscore opponents, which isn't sustainable long-term. Concerningly, more goals have been shipped recently, suggesting concentration or fatigue issues. The concerning -13 goal difference underlines the need for improvement at both ends.
Performance has been fairly consistent regardless of venue - 0 wins from 2 at home and 1 from 4 on the road.
John Daniel Eftinca has been solid in goal with a 87.7% save percentage and 5.72 GAA across 10 games. While there's room for improvement, the goaltending has been respectable.
Most recently, a 0-6 defeat to Solihull Junior Barons was a tough lesson to absorb. However, 5 heavy defeats by 3+ goals are concerning and suggest the team can struggle when things go wrong.
