I am a psychotherapist and am happy to chat. Feel free to DM me if you need to talk. Chris.

I've not seen much evidence of any of the team giving performances that would attract interest from the WPL clubs. They have the resources to pick from anywhere in the world. Sadly we're just a Championship club at best...just like the men's team.

It's embarrassing now. I feel for the players, but there should have been more investment in the squad. We also need a more experienced coach. I can imagine the same would happen if the men's team was promoted. SL wouldn't invest and we'd be straight back down again.

Totally agree. The team must find it hard to be motivated at this stage of the season. They just can't compete at this level.

2 nil down already. Can barely find a pass. Same problems. Not sure what LS is going to differently next season. It needs changing.

Sadly, it's down to 3 things. The coaching and tactics have made it very hard to get results. I can't see LS learning a great deal from this and rebuilding next season. I would get a new coach. The players are simply not good enough for WPL. When you come up against seasoned internationals every week then it's tough. This leads on to the final point. Investment, recruitment and development. If Bristol Sport is serious about a WPL team then it will cost.

Spurs should have scored a lot more. 5 or 6 excellent chances at least.

We are a long way behind the top teams in the PL. It's all about funding now the big clubs have decided the women's game is worth investing in. Like the men's team we can't compete unless we invest. Although it's a lot more affordable in the WPL. However, the best players are always going to be attracted by the big name clubs. I'm not sure about the pathway for younger players to progress, but would hope that it can follow the model of the men's team. Apart from selling our best players! I think the coaching has been poor this season, very little plan B and performances have been predictable.

Same problems as usual. Early goal conceding possession through poor passing, getting hurried in possession. Better press when spurs keeper has the ball, but should be 2 down. Poor miss from spurs.

Sorry you have to put up with negative comments in what is an interesting and genuine question. My brother lives in Hertfordshire so like you every home game is 'away'. He chooses to have a ST so we can all sit together, we live 10 minutes walk from AG, but rarely does night games. It's a challenge for anyone living outside Bristol. I do think there needs to be a better reward system alongside other improvements, not least on the pitch. I've been going to AG for 53 years, and like many I feel there is still a massive 'disconnect' between the club and fans. Despite all the talk, the foundation and supporter services. Don't get me wrong, they do a lot of great work, but everything can be improved.

I think this pretty much sums everything up. We just accept the mediocrity and start again in August. The blame firmly sits with the owners. Fed up like many people. Solution, not an easy one as no foreign investor will want to buy Bristol Sport. It's hard enough finding investors for a football club!

I agree, points will be hard to get over the next few games.

I would agree Phantom. Little flair or personality.
