useless Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) I watched the Everton and West Ham defeats, and the big shame of it is they actually played well and were the better team in both, we've started to become a very good passing team, Scott and Patten have made a big difference in that regard, it's just in the final third we really do look very poor, that's the main thing that needs to be addressed in the summer. Still not sure why Freya Gregory was loaned out, she's getting game time and that will put her in good stead for us in the future, but truth be told she's probably one of our better forward options now, and arguably should be starting for us, has done very well at Leicester and was in the WSL team of the week for February. Hopefully we can somehow pick up a couple of wins before the end of the season, maybe a few surprise draws as well, if we can finish with say six or more points than last season then all in all it will have been a good season.

bobzy Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Heartbreak for the women's team - looks like Chelsea have just netted a 92nd minute winner. 0-0 would've been an unreal result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carla Ward did mention a covid outbreak in the academy recently, so maybe that's still affecting them... Hopefully back to winning ways soon and get some confidence back. Won five and drawn two of their last seven games, including beating Everton 4-0 yesterday, and the two draws they won on penalties, so could say they've won seven in a row, albeit they get two points for a penalty win rather than three. Three points clear at the top of the table at the moment although Man Utd have two games in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Drew 1-1 at home to Reading, not the most thrilling result, but when you consider that before today we had lost the previous ten games at home, and Reading are a decent team with ten more points than us and we had to come back from conceding fairly late on in the game to get the draw, I guess you could say it wasn't a bad result and a step in the right direction 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 U21s beat small heath 4-2 away from home today, that's six wins in a row, or nine if you include the penalty wins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 small heath drew 0-0 last night, which pretty much secures our place in the league. 12 points ahead of them, 4 games to go and much better goal difference. I know it was a remote chance we'd go down but still nice to have (all but) confirmation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Probably our best result of the season, possibly our best result since promotion, Spurs most improved team in the league this season, a win today would have put them just four points behind Man City with a game in hand. We've got three games left now Man Utd (H), Arsenal (A), and Small Heath (H), if we can at least beat small heath then that will put us on 23 points which will be an 8 points improvement on last season's total which I think is pretty good progress and something to build on next season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Fantastic result today and guarantee’s our status in the WSL. 20 points right now with a few games to go, which isn’t that bad and still progress on last season, where we finished on 15 points I believe? Desperately need 3 or 4 top players in the summer to bolster the squad though, with a striker the priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Making good progress. Spurs are probably the 'best of the rest' in the league behind the 4 dominant teams. Few quality additions and we could be looking at 5th next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Not as impressive as the one against Spain but two clean-sheets for Hannah Hampton in her first two game for England. To say she had little to do would probably be an understatement, I only watched the second-half, but wasn't until seventy plus minutes that the cameras even showed her or the England goal, as all the action was further up the pitch. Jill Scott also came on with thirty minutes remaining, kept it simple but was unlucky not to get a few assists as she created some good chances.

useless Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Our U21s finish second in the league, only missing out on the title by goal difference, was a good effort by our team, fifteen wins, three draws, and just two defeats, thirty-five plus goal difference. With those stats we would have won the Southern section of the League finishing above Chelsea (although the leagues are seperated by north and south they still play league games against each other), Man Utd finished above us because they finished with a goal diffrence of sixty-eight plus, they basically went on a run where they absolutey thrashed everyone they played including scoring fourteen past West Ham last month. As well as Man Utd did, if it wasn't for a covid outbreak at the start of year which possibly played a part in the defeat against Leicester, we might have pipped them to the title on points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Good draw, great result, only the second team to keep a clean sheet against Man Utd this season. From what I've seen we've actually been playing a lot better since the new year, but haven't always been getting what we deserve, so good to see in recent games our improvement is starting to show in some of the results, four points from Spurs and Man Utd is an excellent return.
