shahanshahan Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/davies-signs-deal-with-city-women/ News today that Gwen Davies signed her first (professional) contract with the club, and remains until the end of the season, with an option of a year extension after that. Didn't realise that when she first joined over the summer from the Welsh leagues, it was on a non-contract basis - this may explain why she wasn't initially announced at the time.

Happened to Sophie Whitehouse when she joined Birmingham for the second half of last season. And Faye Bryson (now at Reading) was initially offered a similar contract, before being offered a longer contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 First home game of the year today. Grace Williams has provided an update that almost 1000 tickets have now been sold. Because this game has been selected for FA Player coverage, it won't be on Robins TV or the club's YouTube/Facebook today... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 HT, City been truly dreadful, feel sorry for Harrison up front on her own with no support just chasing aimless punts. Charlton look nothing special, but at least look organised and can string a few passes together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Watched around 30 minutes in 1st and 2nd half. Had dipped in to a few bits of games during the season where we appeared to be ok and improving. However, this was just primary school stuff. Fitness and physicality, skill and the other basics all sub-standard. Frankly, just dire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked very leggy today….wonder whether chasing the ball around for 90 mins v Man City in midweek in the cup, took it out of us. Murray is normally a rock yet she made 3 or 4 mistakes first half. Charlton by far the better side, physical, strong runners, and it felt a bit women v girls…not forgetting how young our side is. They were very cynical with their time wasting, like an Alex Neil PNE team, but no complaints re result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Have to say the better team won this afternoon. Charlton looked a touch sharper, faster, keener and were more organised than City. It may well have been fatigue after the midweek game but there was a distinct lack of spark. I trust the injuries will be minor. Charlton seemed to have done their homework on us and strangled the movement from midfield to the front. When they got a chance they took it, whereas I don't recall their keeper having to do too much. It was good to see fans around the sides of the ground as well - shame that the big crowd didn't have much to cheer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
