Birmingham only scored 5 goals in 13 games when the season was stopped last year but managed to score 4 yesterday. Maybe its a mix of lack of investment and low confidence but I think its a bit too easy to blame it on the investment side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to Birmingham we are on a par - which in itself makes yesterdays result even more concerning. The side shouldn't be low on confidence following on from a 4-0 victory in their previous game The investment comparison is more to do with the top end of the league sides who are now light years ahead of us in terms of playing personnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol City Women can confirm that Aimee Palmer dislocated her knee in Sunday’s Barclays FAWSL clash with Birmingham City. The midfielder is set for spell on the sidelines having sustained the injury in a heavy challenge midway through the second half at Twerton Park. The club are currently awaiting further test results to determine the full extent of the injury and will fully support Aimee throughout her rehab and recovery. Everyone at Bristol City Women is right behind Aimee in her recovery and we hope to see her back on the pitch as soon as possible.

Prinny Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 I don't think it's even relevant to discuss games vs the top teams in our league, or games against lower league teams. Literally the only games that are important are the ones vs the other teams in the mini league at the bottom of the table. There's a 1 game sample size of this. A 0-4 drubbing at home.

Hopefully that means a dislocated knee-cap, not the entire knee - that would be a disaster if so. Her twitter seems quite optimistic so if the scans don't prove bad we could look forwards to her returning later this season. The 19-year-old had started every game thus far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s great we run a women’s side but it seems to receive almost equal promotion online to our youth sides and u23 squad. I can see why some feel it’s a bit forced upon us because imo there is nowhere near the same level of interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the days of the amateur, it was rubbish. The pitches were mud baths. They had 9 forwards. And basically shoved the keeper across the line when he caught the ball near the goals. Then came the professional era, money, coaching, tactics and now we've got grass measurement, drones and all sorts of stuff to deliver the "fine margins" for victory. This has taken DECADES. Yes, women's football doesn't have the physicality of men's football nor the speed. But the games I've watched there's skill on show and they love the game. Women's football is a relatively new game, it will take investment to improve it. And as a father of two girls i'd love them to play at any level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne allisons tongues Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Not women related but what are the rules for Covid. Orient kicked out EFL cup couldn’t play fixture Teans in FA cup and FA Trophy kicked out if couldn’t play. FA Vase clubs postpone games due to Covid and that’s ok Tesms come in contact with positive cases and various leagues let teams postpone or say you have to play. Just seems the rules change all the time and there is no consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's perhaps only my opinion, but I think your comments about women's football demean you rather than the women you seem intent on trying to put down with your constant insults. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
