Bobby Crutchley eyes improved display after England victory

Bobby Crutchley believes that there is room for improvement after England started the Commonwealth Games by thrashing Trinidad and Tobago 6-1.

Bobby Crutchley has claimed that England's hockey team will need to improve to succeed at the Commonwealth Games, despite beginning their campaign with a win.

A 6-1 victory over Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday was not enough to completely satisfy the head coach, who admits that England were feeling frustrated for long periods of the match.

"We were a bit frustrated with the performance," Crutchley told reporters. "There were good bits, but we were a bit slack with some of our passing and attacking play.

"Having said that I thought Trinidad and Tobago played well, they frustrated us and had a good game plan. There were certainly glimpses of some quality play for us across the 70 minutes, and we will look to take that into the game against Malaysia on Sunday."

New Zealand also started their Group B campaign with a win as they beat South Africa 3-1.
