useless Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Natasha Harding out injured for the season. We're having ridiculous bad luck with injuries, Hannah Hampton, Megan Sargeant, Remi Allen, Ruesha Littlejohn, Emily Gielnik, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, Simone Magill, and now Harding have all been out for lengthy spells this season, on a few occassions we haven't been abe to name a full bench because of having seven or eight of the first team squad all injured at the same time. At least a few of them like Hampton, Littlejohn, and Gielnik are on their way back, big shame for Harding though, good chance she would have got a start tomorrow against Durham as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Club have posted an interview with Isobel Goodiwn, maybe a sign that she's going to play tomorrow, would be good to see her get her first goal at first team level, she herself was out injured for a couple of seasons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I think like the men's team it depends on the opposition, against Man Utd and Everton in the Conti Cup earlier this season we played pretty much a first team line-up but with one or two squad players getting a start, but in previous season's against Championship teams a few younger players have come in. Today I'd expect a fairly strong line-up made up mostly of first team players, as we've still got a chance of qualiftying and Durham have been getting some good results in this competition, if we do play any younger players will probably just be the likes of Isobel Goodwin and Freya Gregory, maybe Evie Rabjohn would have got a game but not sure if she's ready yet after her injury, those three considered first team players anyway. Will probably be the team that plays in the WSL with maybe one or two squad players coming in, Carla Ward has already said that Hannah Hampton is going to start.

useless Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 That wasn't a great half for us, needlessly giving the ball away at times either because of poor passing or dwelling on the ball for too long, shooting has been poor as well, Durham keeper hasn't had to make a save other than when Dali shot straight at her, whereas they've forced Hampton into a few saves and hit the post. I think we're missing Blindkilde in midfield, resting her has meant that because of lack of options we're playing with two defensive midfielders, so we're more defensive today against a Championship team in that area than we are when we play in the WSL against much better oppositon, we don't really need both McLoughlin and LIttlejohn, We're kind of missing Corsie in midfield as well, although she's only been playing there because of injuries, she's very composed on the ball and helps us keep possession better than some of the other players. If we're to have any chance of qualifying for the knock-out stages really need to win in the ninety minutes and to do that need to improve second half, especially in front of goal and just general play in the final third. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 This has been frustratingly poor, we're not even getting any shots on target against a championship team and they're not even one of the better championship teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Daly with another goal, great assist from Gregory. Blinkilde has done brilliantlly since she came on other than missing a good chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Not a great attacking performance but battled well and when we brought on Corsie, Blindkilde, and Lehmann our performance moved up a level, as above Blindkilde was brilliant when she came on, despite only playing thirty minutes or whatever it was was probably our best player today, I know she was already highly rated last season but seems to have moved up several levels this season, if she carries on her form she might not be far away from a full England call-up, glad that she signed a long-term contract. Win puts us top of the group with our last game being away to Sheffield United if we win that that would put us on nine points, Everton have two games to play but one of those is against Man Utd which they play December 7th the same day that we play Sheffield United, if they lose and we win then we will go through to the quarter-finals. Win today was also important as might not get much of a chance to win many games for the next month or so in the league as next two in the WSL are against Man Utd and Arsenal before they finish for a month and then a tough game against Spurs when we come back.

useless Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 During the game the commentator mentioned that Ruesha Littlejohn has been doing a video series on youtube, only watched a few videos but is actually quite interesting as shows some of the behind the scenes scenes from Bodymoor Heath and what she's been doing at home and at Bodymoor for her recovery.

If you don't want to get too close to the ground, you could park anywhere near the Withngton or Burton Road metro stops and take a direct tram in. You'll be close to Princess Parkway as well for easy motorway access. I'm only suggesting that because I used to live around there though, you probably could get closer to Trafford.
