Streatham U19s 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 5-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 15 goals at 2.5 per game. There's room for improvement, but the team is creating and converting chances. Encouragingly, scoring has improved in recent games, suggesting the forwards are finding their shooting boots.
The defense has leaked 47 goals at an alarming 7.8 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 -32 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.
Ida Oksanen has been a reliable presence between the pipes, posting a 89.6% save percentage and 8.13 GAA. With 0 wins from 3 games, the goaltending has been a strength.
Most recently, a 5-8 defeat to Cardiff Junior Devils U19s 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.
