Magill admitted that Northern Ireland were frustrated with elements of their performance in Friday’s draw in Bucharest, where their inability to convert chances and a defensive lapse cost them.
“I think in the final third we know we can be more clinical; we go 1-0 up away from home and we know we want the second goal to be ours,” she explained.
“We’ll learn so much from those moments and I believe we are growing in aspects such as game management and trying to keep things tighter, we really need to work on fine tuning those areas.
“We’re frustrated with a lot of aspects of the performance we can be better in, but I don’t think we would be overly disappointed, we have to take the point and go again and try take the three points on Tuesday.”
The Birmingham City striker played in a deeper role and scored twice in the 3-2 win against Bosnia-Herzegovina in the last window.
She reverted to a more familiar central striker role against Romania, but continued to drop deep to start attacks, something she says she has been working on.
“In the last year I’ve started to do that both here for Northern Ireland and for club, it is just adding a bit more experience in areas where we have lost in recent years with having younger players coming in,” Magill added.
“It is a certainly an area of my game I’ve been trying to adapt to, so it provides Tanya [Oxtoby] with another option.”
