If, and it's still a big IF, we can beat London City to top place, then it's pretty low cost (compared to Men's spending) to improve the squad to be able to compete with the bottom 4 in the WSL, then if we can stay up can look to compete against the middle 4 as well. Same would be true for London City.

In the last two games, I have been struck by the positive difference made to the team when the strength, guile, experience and gameplay of Wells has replaced the pace of Bell.
 

I like Sam and believe he’ll have a big future here but Nahki has know how which can only be gained over time. It’s made me appreciate Nahki all the more. 

Sam Bell's has the misfortune to find that Mehmeti is now ahead of him in the pecking order for LHS attacker. For me Sam is not suited to playing central striker, and should not be picked ahead of Wells to start in that role.

Surely Wells has to start on Tuesday? Sam Bell may be the future, but I don’t think he’s the one to face Man City for the majority of the game. Bring him on as a sub, by all means, but not from the start.

Wells already confirmed by NP will start, as will Sam Bell I'd wager but in his natural position on the LHS as Mehmeti (and Cornick) cup tied.

I gave James MOM but Williams almost as influential in the engine room. 

Huge part of the performance today.

I'd agree re: James MotM today. Williams has done well since coming in for Kai, shown he can play a disciplined role alongside James. A few poor loose passes from him, but overall a positive for sure.

YES, FT 1-0. 12 unbeaten and 3 pts - lovely

Agree with this. Looks like more luck than judgement when he releases too. He needs time though. Up a league....first handful of games.

he is not "up a league", played for Luton before us!

Watching Cornick, he never seems to quite get the ball under his control.

Great block by Pring just now

Cornick on for Tanner, strange sub

Get in, no messing.... Wellssssss

Penalty!  

Wells on for Bell, overdue change.

Awful ball in by Williams

Another chance missed from a cross. Get Bell off and Wells on.

Sykes with a shot but well over

Just now, Super said:

Is that the past 3 games he hasn't started?

Yes

Playing well, but the quality of the last ball is not there.

As much to do with having no presence in the centre, need Wells there, don't understand picking Bell for that role.

Another crossing chance goes begging, we are soooo missing Wells in the middle

Bell had to hit it first thing then, another chance goes begging.

Come on Bell, really think Wells is a much better option as the central forward.

Sykes getting into great positions, but his crosses not finding anyone

looked a pen then on Mehmeti, but not given

Another low cross in, that's at least 4 already but nobody getting on the end of them

Bell should have hit for goal there

good block Kallas
