Manchester Storm Academy 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.
Back-to-back defeats have been a setback, and the team will be eager to respond with a positive result. Results are trending upward, with more points coming in recent games compared to earlier in this period. This improving trajectory is an encouraging sign.
The attack has been devastating, averaging 4.0 goals per game with 24 total goals in 6 matches. This level of firepower puts immense pressure on opponents and provides a cushion for the defense. Encouragingly, scoring has improved in recent games, suggesting the forwards are finding their shooting boots.
The defense has leaked 61 goals at an alarming 10.2 per game. This vulnerability is putting enormous pressure on the attack to outscore opponents, which isn't sustainable long-term. Positively, fewer goals have been conceded recently, indicating improved defensive organization. The concerning -37 goal difference underlines the need for improvement at both ends.
The goaltending has struggled with Toby Orme recording a 54.9% save percentage. Finding more stability in this position would help shore up the defense.
Most recently, a 2-8 defeat to Bradford Bulldogs u12's 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.
