Didn’t see the opening 70+ today, got home just as she was putting us 3-0 up…took it very well. 1 hour ago, The Bard said: Murray at the back was superb. Also impressed by Kuyken the pivot in midfield - seemed to have an extra couple of seconds on the ball Gave a debut at Ashton Gate to 17 year old Lily Greenslade. They must think highly of her. Murray is a rock at the back, and has helped settle Aspin in alongside her over a series of games. They are building a good partnership. Aspin is only 16 (July 2005), which is incredible really. Kuyken has some really nice touches off either foot, from what I’ve seen of her she looks a bit one-paced though. Lauren Smith building a good young team. Imagine budget is very small, compared to some teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good solid performance today, long time since I've seen three goals at the gate for Bristol City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hasn't turned pro yet, and is still a member of City's academy. As such, I think that's why she was able to play for Rovers women's team, who since reforming are much lower down in the football pyramid (mind the gap, as they say). Must be some sort of dual agreement, but am hoping that she sticks with City when she can go pro! https://www.bristolroverswomensfc.com/post/lily-greenslade-signs-for-bristol-rovers-women-s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be barking mad to sign for what is basically a non-league side. Good to play that level at 17 to toughen her up a bit though. She absolutely did their defender when she was rugby tackled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Really good performance yesterday in front of an unaccustomed big crowd, and at the Gate too. The girls should be justly proud of the shift they put in. They gave Blackburn plenty to deal with and were comfortably in charge for much of the game. Agree with the others about the stirling work by Kuyken, who firmly took the central role after skipper Aimee Palmer was ruled out by injury and ran the middle of the park. Also missing was Layzell at the back and I thought Brooke Aspin played beyond her age, helped by the commanding Murray. A solid looking centreback partnership in the making. Up front Harrison was holding up and spinning in behind well, as usual. Beever-Jones also sparkled on both flanks; her low shot was only parried for Harrison but took her goal well when it came her way. All in all, a great day for the club. I just hope that the team is able to keep building like this and perhaps a shot at promotion is not so far off. However, if Harrison and Murray maintain their impressive displays I wonder if the big teams will come sniffing. On to Wednesday!

I was at the last game vs Sheffield United, and there were a couple of blokes sat behind me discussing Aspin. From what I heard, she was offered a contract to join Chelsea in the summer, but her Dad (a big City fan by all accounts) convinced her to stay at City as she would be better off getting gametime in a good 2nd Div team than back I Chelsea's academy/reserves. I'm not certain he expected her to get this much gametime or to play this well though! If a team like Chelsea are after her though it just shows what a player she is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm hoping when she turns pro, that City can retain her if possible. Speaking of Chelsea, it will be interesting to see if Aggie Beever-Jones does return once her loan ends, if she doesn't stay or go elsewhere...

I think it's fair to say that Bristol Rovers Women don't necessarily play in the most taxing of leagues. Fair play to Frampton Rangers Ladies for giving them a run for their money i suppose.

Fiale Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Daughter managed to get free tickets through her school. Her first ever live sports event and to be honest I didn't think she would really enjoy it. After a few minutes where she looked lost, and unsure she gradually got into things, started cheering, and giving players her own nicknames to recognise them by.... By the end of the match she was loving it, and turned around to ask when we are coming again. So well done to the club, a new unexpected convert, who is going to the next home match. albeit out of our own pocket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Just me, or is the commentator slipping in a few Alan Partridge’isms? Decent performance again from the femmes, so far at least.

Davefevs Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I see that Abi Harrison is looked after by none other than Peter Cormack: Yep, it is the same one that played for City in the old first division. Guess it’s Abi’s Scottish / Hibs connection? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
