A lot of academy players involved, Rabjohn sisters and Mary McAteer as mentioned above, as well as Anna Draper, Megan Shaw, and Alice Keitley.

useless Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Not even sure what this is exactly, think it might be similar to the England U15 training camps in mens/boys football, either way seems more evidence of our academy doing well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Hard to predict how we're going to do next season, small heath relegated, Leicester have brought in a lot of players, Liverpool the promoted team will want to do whatever it takes to make sure they stay up, relegaton next season seems harder to predict, as no teams as bad as small heath, and Leiceter should be improved, based on that alone we could be in more danger of going down next season than we were last season. But on the other hand, we've lost a lot of players, but most of them were players left over from our championship days and that's where they've gone back to play, they needed replacing, and we've done so with WSL players, that might not be big names as such, but have been midtable players in the WSL, which is where we're trying to get to, overall we've improved the squad with potentially more signings to come. The one exception was Petzelberger who has gone to Spurs, but she wasn't so great that losing her feels like a big blow, before she had a good spell after the new year was seen as just another squad player, she's not a bad player by any means, but there are other players I would have been more disappointed to lose. We've also brought in Coventry mens U23 manager and Burton's mens' Head of Academy, so we've brought in some high profile coaches, maybe they can make a big difference. Pretty much feels like we could finish anywhere between twelfth and sxith, we showed promising signs last season when Patten, Corsie, and Jill Scott came into the team, completely changed the way we played, and we became much more of a possession based team, I think from January onwards only a few teams had more possession against us, our problem was scoring goals, which is the big thing we need to improve, whether it be via improving the current players, new signings, better coaching, or a mixture of all three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Next week would be a good time to announce we've signed Jill Scott if we're going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Shows how much the top four dominate, hopefully we can hang on to Hampton, and if given a fair chance the likes of Mayling and Pacheco could potentially break into the set-up as well, and maybe some of the younger England Youth players we have further down the line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 FWIW I hadnt really followed the Women's game nor the Villa Women, but that Euro tournament and its success was awesome, really enjoyed and was impressed by the football and especially England. I thought the final was a terrific spectacle and they can be hugely proud. Incidentally my 10 year old daughter was loving it, she ripped her top off too when England scored the winner! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be two if we sign Jill scott. Interestingly they don't list her for Man City.. is she a free agent at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get every 18+ year old woman to rip their tops off every time England score, i'll be happy with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Adult tickets are only £10 for the first game of the season. 2 adults and 2 kids £26 total. Game is at VP 18th September. Go and give them some support, they’re going to need it (Man City). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Jill Scott isn't listed because she's a free agent, Carla Ward just after the season had finished said we're trying to sign her, but her future wouldn't be sorted out until after Euros, there are some rumors that it's already done, but we will see, Spurs have also been linked.

HanoiVillan Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Just noticed that Walsall have renamed their ground the 'Poundland Bescot Stadium'. Hope we decide to play fewer games there next season and more at VP, it really sends the wrong message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
