Northern Ireland manager Tanya Oxtoby emphasizes the importance of maintaining a stable squad to enhance team performance and development. With only one change to the squad following a previous playoff defeat, Oxtoby is optimistic about building on their momentum heading into the Nations League. The team faces Poland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Romania, drawing confidence from past performances. Oxtoby acknowledges challenges in managing player fitness and load but believes her experience in club football will help maintain readiness for competition.
"It's a massive positive when you can keep the core of your group together, we have some momentum now which is something we want to build on and standards in the group are where we want them to be."
"People will look at the Norway result and probably take something from that but for us, the performance was excellent for large periods, and we want to take the momentum forward."
