HanoiVillan Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Pretty much have to beat Blues I guess. That is a devastating end, 95th minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I missed the final twenty minutes, but should have finished the game off before then, had a feeling not scoring a third could prove costly, very frustrating. Hard to be positive after that, but the positives are we didn't lose, still have a game in hand, we're still outside the relegation, have two games coming up against small and West Ham from which we can get something, whilst Bristol City have to play Man Utd and Brighton. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 We just need to match the number of points that Bristol City get from their final two games from our last three to stay up, given our vastly superior goal difference. Pity we didn't hold onto that lead today, but I guess they wanted to emulate the men last season, by staying up on the last day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Such a poor last goal to concede. As much as I want to see Women's football develop and improve the really bad keeping in the whole league remains a huge problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because the average male goalkeeper is probably 6ft 4 and the average female goalkeeper is probably 5ft 10? *disclaimer - I have no idea what the actual average is, I’m just speculating.

useless Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Just seen that Bristol City only have two games left against Man Utd and Brighton, if it goes to form good chance that they will lose both of those and we could stay up without picking up another point, but if we can beat Small Heath tomorrow that will put us in a really strong postion, because of goal difference would mean that Bristol City will need to get something from both their remaining games and hope that we lose to both West Ham and Arsenal in our final two games.

A win would also put Small Heath ladies into serious relegation danger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Even if they lose all their remaining three games, Bristol City would have to beat either Man Utd or Brighton for them to go down. Edited April 28, 2021 by useless 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only trouble is that the seagullesses have little to play for apart from pride and finishing the season on a high with a win. It's at Brighton but I guess there may be no crowd still which won't help. Anyway, big six pointer for Villa tonight, I'm gonna watch it live on the FA player website, I believe it's free.

Just saw that our number 1 keeper, Lisa Weiss, is 5ft 7. Yeah, surely it's easier for the keepers who are about 6ft. Hope Solo's tall, she was perhaps the best keeper in the world. Karen Bardsley's tall, I reckon she must be about 5ft 11 or 6ft, and she's good generally. Carly Telford looks quite tall too, she's also good overall. Then again, if the average height of the outfield women is about the same as that of the goalkeeper women, then I guess lack of height isn't much of an excuse for most of the keepers? :s I do think tomav84 has a point... the passing, crossing, ball control, headers, shooting, it's all so good these days from the top teams in the top leagues in women's football (especially when you consider the huge disparity between the money in the women's game and the men's) but... I have seen some shocking keeping here and there from some of the keepers in the WSL and the Women's Championship in the last 10 years. Maybe the outfield play has improved more than the goalkeeping and if so I can't see why. Edited April 28, 2021 by robby b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
