Erithacus Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Perhaps they were mindful of that notorious FA Cup game a few seasons ago v Doncaster. I had a ticket for that and saw the droves leaving before kick-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was entirely the ref and BBC's doing Those at Weston told us after the first inspection on the morning that the game would never be played that day If City were that annoyed with WSM they wouldn't have taken the U23s there last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 WSL Highlights: Bristol City 0-4 Everton - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/54048236 I just watched the highlights and can't blame the keeper for any of the goals. They were clinical finishes and I suppose the criticism would be that we need to be be better marking the attackers when crosses come in.

Erithacus Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Opening game of the season and plenty to ponder over, it seems. Not sure where Everton will sit in the table but they look improved on recent years. Tanya Oxtoby praised the team for the application shown and accepting it is a significantly young new squad this time around, but the signs are a little concerning. Still, lots of games left to turn the effort into results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 That 11-1 thrashing last season could be eclipsed today. 5-0 down at HT. Whats gone wrong ? They weren't that poor a couple of seasons ago as far as I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 5 minutes ago, Super said: Are Chelsea good or are we terrible? I think the top teams (3 or 4) are spending a fortune now compared with a few seasons ago. There could be a danger of the WSL becoming like the Scots Premier, where there are some big thrashings as the budgets are hugely different from the top and bottom of the league.

Midlands Robin Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I was reading today that most of the transfers in the ladies game are free, end of contract moves. Very few have involved an actual transfer fee so far. In many respects I think it's the pulling power of the team names that are attracting the best players to certain clubs. For smaller names to attract the best talent they need to pay more and promote the ladies game to make it bigger within the club. Ourselves, Birmingham and Reading are now the only teams in the WSL who don't have a mens team in the Premier League. A few years ago the league made up of half or less of the Premier League names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Chelsea/Arsenal spend 6 times what Liverpool were spending on wages last season, that can't help with preventing a divide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 New manager needed. I don’t care about salary divide, no team in the same division should ship 13 goals in 2 games without reply - that is just poor set up and not playing for the shirt.
