The Back Three

A three-for-one for the last key player. Our backline has become a cohesive unit that is looking more and more confident every week. Slowing down Wolves is no easy task and Bednarek, Yoshida, and Vestergaard were up to the task.

Despite conceding on a corner early in the match the defense was rock solid for the rest of the match and limited the chances the Wolves created. Who knows what the backline will look like next season but for now we have to tip our caps to these three and thank them for playing hard and with passion that has allowed us to hopefully stay up.
