Kilmarnock Women's boss admits 'lack of quality' cost them in Livingston defeat

Killie dropped to third in the SWPL2 table following the loss

Kilmarnock Women’s boss Jim Chapman conceded his side were poor as they fell to third place in the SWPL2 table following a 1-0 away defeat at Livingston.

In a game of few chances and played in horrific conditions, Livi’s Courtney McAvoy proved to be the matchwinner as her 25-yard strike just before the hour mark flew over Ellie Currie for the game’s only goal.

Chapman said: “We expect more. There was a severe lack of quality, although you can put that down to the conditions to some degree because it was a poor game.

“I think we have a right to be disappointed because we know we can do better than that. Our decision making and execution on the ball was poor and that’s why we’ve ended up with a poor result.

“Give credit to Livingston because they deserved it but we made it difficult for ourselves. They worked hard, there was a lot of effort absolutely, but we just lacked that bit of quality and that’s the difference.”
