It's not.

In case people don't realise; next two City Women games live (for free) on FA Player - that's the big clash with London City tomorrow 2pm and Southampton away next Sunday. When City played London City at home the girls tried playing our usual play it out from the back stuff - but London City were too good on the high press and we hardly got out of our own half in the first 45 mins. 2nd half went more direct and the goals followed. Hopefully that is not forgotten for tomorrow. Also London City I believe without arguably their most influential player in Lily Agg, as she got a straight red for an off-the-ball incident in their last match. So that should help!

Up to now, reinforced by poor sub appearances, wondering why we signed a near 28 year old forward, with a goal record in the Championship of just 1 in every 5 or 6 games. Could not watch tonight's game, so wondering how do he do having been given his 1st start?

I have no 'inside knowledge" but would say that the WPL falls into 3 sections; top four - head & shoulders above the rest, middle four, bottom four - fighting to avoid bottom place. IF we go up, it would only take relative modest investment in new players to have a fair chance against the other 3 "bottom four" to avoid the drop. IF we can stay up and benefit from extra TV revenue etc, then with more investment we could challenge the middle four. Realistically, a bit like the MPL, the top four are way beyond a team of our size.

Good spot. I'd have thought she might be someone who would make a good signing IF our women stay top and get promoted,

Yep FT 3-0, sounded a much better 2nd half performance. London City win 3-1, so 6 point gap maintained.

1-0 HT with an own goal in added time, up to then not much action based on the Twitter feed, a cross that come off the bar being the closest we had come. Meanwhile London City 3-0 up at HT, so that late goal most welcome.

FT 2-0.

Bell with a good run and strikes just over the bar

Bell on for Wells

really didn;t know JD was that way inclined!

and another...

good first pass from OTC

Scott scores 2-0 game over

nonsense play by us, really inviting pressure, seem to have lost all ability to pass the ball forward

Cornick loses it again

well claimed Max

certainly hope so!

Cornick on for Sykes...

Andi!!!!

Wells fairly anonymous today, dare I say a chance for Cornick?

We are so missing the dynamism of Pring on the overlap, JD is neat & tidy but not brave. Mehmeti guilty (as in previous games) of not knowing when to release it, hopefully that will come. Sykes frustrating me today, why does he need to take 2 or 3 touches before delivering the ball, just gives Blackpool defenders time to get set.

HT 0-0.

All too like Huddersfield, lots of possession but for all that their keeper has not had to make a real save.

Mehmeti should have passed that, Sykes was free.
