The pyramid in womens football is much different to the mens game, if anything it is closer to Rugby Union in that there is essentially only one league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The womens game has a real opportunity here to create a more equal top division as theres already signs of the biggest few pulling away to uncatchable levels.

Villa v West Ham games will be close, like Birmingham v West Ham last week was (2-2 draw). Speaking of Birmingham, this Sunday's game with City will now be back at their home ground in Solihull... https://bcfc.com/news/articles/2021/venue-confirmed-blues-women-v-bristol-city/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 to be honest its a nail biting end to the season for our girls and I am getting into it, far better to watch at the moment then our mens team and every match has something riding on it. I think they will stay up just, but its not going to be easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Great to see Meaghan Sargeant back in training, considering she hasn't played since January 2020 when she had her ACL injury. Not sure if it will be too soon for her to play this Sunday (against her old club Birmingham) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Handily, West Ham and Spurs both lost today. Villa are at Chelsea so the City girls have an opportunity to grab three points at Brum tomorrow. Vital games, vital results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure relative size must be a big factor here. I wonder how competent male keepers would look if the goals were a foot higher and a yard wider?

shahanshahan Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) One change in line-up; Charlie Wellings (who was missing last week for unknown reasons (great communication from the club!?)) returns and replaces Flo Allen in the line-up. Kick off 4pm; live on FA Player. I'll be watching this while trying to keep an eye out on the F1 at the same time and the England game kicking off at 5pm.

I wonder how competent male keepers would look if the goals were a foot higher and a yard wider? I have commented on this before. I saw a television programme about 15 years ago where they took into account the average height of a keeper when football first started compared to the goal size. Since then the average size of a keeper has increased tremendously. They then increased the size of goals pro rata to the height of the current average size of keepers. The goal sizes were tremendous. They then played a game using semi pros and to start with the style of play was as is now until as half time approached the players cottoned onto how large the goals now we're and they started bombing in shots from all over the field realising the keepers now had higher and wider goals to defend. Can't remember the score but plenty of goals were scored and keepers left floundering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Shame City Women don't have all-red kits in this situation (also funny that in their last home game, Man City also wore white shorts and this was deemed fine) Edited March 28, 2021 by shahanshahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 The Blues wear blue/white, we wear purple/lime? Seems an easy one to confuse over blue against red. But that's what the ref has called - let's hope there's no need to complain about it afterwards. A repeat of the same fixture from thirteen months ago will do nicely.

Matty Taylors a Red Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Anyone know the legal situation around permanently replacing Oxtoby during/after her maternity leave?

Sarumred Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Under employment law, I don't think you can sack anyone who is on maternity leave but I stand to be corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Decent half that, enjoyed it. Massive contrast from earlier in the season. We have a shape, decent control, sharp passing, strong in the tackle and belief. What a transformation! Need three points here desperately. Critical 45 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 FT 1-1. Unlucky not to keep the win. However, with Villa losing against Chelsea, City now move up to 10th in the table! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 A decent result, but a win would have been better. Equaliser from ex-Vixen Murray. Now third from bottom, a point ahead of Villa and two ahead of the Hammers. Both have two games in hand though and more importantly they play each other twice before the end of the season. It's going to be a close one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
