Nottingham Vipers WNIHL are struggling for form, managing just 0 points from their last 6 games (0% of available points). Their 0-0-6 (W-D-L) record shows difficulties picking up results, with 6 defeats outweighing the 0 wins.
Concern mounts as the team is on a 6-game losing streak. Finding a way to stop the rot and get back to winning ways is the immediate priority.
Goalscoring has been a challenge, netting just 9 times at 1.5 per game. Finding ways to be more clinical in front of goal would significantly boost results. Encouragingly, scoring has improved in recent games, suggesting the forwards are finding their shooting boots.
The defense has leaked 66 goals at an alarming 11.0 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 -57 goal difference underlines the need for improvement at both ends.
Performance has been fairly consistent regardless of venue - 0 wins from 3 at home and 0 from 3 on the road.
Zoe Dearling has been solid in goal with a 81.7% save percentage and 6.50 GAA across 2 games. While there's room for improvement, the goaltending has been respectable.
Most recently, a 5-9 defeat to Kingston Diamonds 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.
