Good win, two very different but very good goals, Kirsty Hanson showing both sides of her game with the assists, first pressing to set up Daly and then good wing play to assist Nobbs. We're now fifth with a six point gap between us and Everton, albeit they have a game in hand, and also have a ten point advantage over West Ham in seventh, so looking very good for a top six finish now, and have a good chance of top five.

Having watched the game in full yesterday and most games this season, we really are a pleasure to watch. Really good football. Quite rightly, Hanson, Daly and Dali deserve all the accolades but we have real quality all over the pitch now. Hannah Hampton will be knocking on the England door again soon no doubt and Danielle Turner probably deserves consideration as well.  Going under the radar a bit have been Sarah Mayling and Maz Pacheco, both of whom are very solid and dependable. I’ve been really impressed with both of them.

Finally, the signings of Staniforth and especially Nobbs in January were truly inspired. If we can add two, three or four additions of similar calibre in the summer, maybe just maybe, we can really push the top four teams.  Already we’re establishing ourselves as the best of the rest, which again is truly remarkable after only a couple of seasons in the WSL. Onwards and upwards, UTV.

Dalys strike was a bad tempered one. She looked so pissed off and just absolutely leathered it. But the second was a thing of beauty. Just a genius team goal like we do again and again this season. Reminds me of Arsenal in their pomp 20 years ago. Movement is amazing.

Haha, yes she did seem annoyed. Great strike of the ball though. I must admit, that one West Ham CB is a bit of a nasty piece and kicks anything that moves.

We’re really building something and Carla Ward deserves a lot of credit here.

Ruby-Rae Tucker started for England U17s earlier today as they beat Belgium 4-0, Milly Round was on the bench, if they avoid defeat at the weekend against Norway then will qualify for the Euros in the summer.

Our U21s beat Brighton 4-0 yesterday, nine wins from the last ten in the league now, top of the league, but Man United just three points behind with a game in hand and better goal difference.

Also on first team news good to see Anna Leat in the latest training photos, we've been without a keeper on the bench for last few games, she's been very good for us when called upon, not sure how long it can last but are lucky to have two very good goalkeepers, also Simone Maghill and Remi Allen in the training photos.
