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.
Concern mounts as the team is on a 3-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 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. Worryingly, goals have dried up in recent fixtures compared to earlier in this run.
The defense has leaked 40 goals at an alarming 6.7 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 -16 goal difference underlines the need for improvement at both ends.
Performance has been fairly consistent regardless of venue - 1 wins from 4 at home and 0 from 2 on the road.
Harvey Fenton holds a 79.3% save percentage with 16.20 GAA. The goaltending has been adequate, though the team may need more consistency from this position.
Most recently, a 3-5 defeat to Solihull Junior Barons was a disappointing result. However, 3 heavy defeats by 3+ goals are concerning and suggest the team can struggle when things go wrong.
