I hope they are monitoring social media and getting an idea how many plan to go and have enough ticket windows open and enough stewards to open extra areas if needed. I’m wondering about parking as the likes of wickes probably won’t have any plans to accommodate.

The Coventry coach was not remotely subtle in his instructions to the keeper to sit down and request treatment half way through the second half to enable the whole team to come to the sideline for a drink and to be briefed on the plan for formation following the outfield substitution which happened immediately after the break in play.

Anyone know whether Mel Johnson is injured? Haven’t seen her on a team sheet for a few weeks.

Anyone know why Murray isn’t in the squad?

I may be doing Emma Hayes a disservice but I think she has a tendency to favour her own club players when asked to name the woman of the match.

You are correct that you can’t get from sheens Rd to whitehouse lane via malago Rd. The council are currently saying 2 1/2 years before it reopens so estimate 5-10 years if ever.

Unfortunately the weather up on Failand can be unappealing for much of the season. I've been up a couple of times and the forecast was a significant factor in choosing to watch the game from the sofa. Mel Johnson is quick but she is also very good a moving defenders about to create space for others. Sometimes she doesn't see that much of the ball, but the team looks better when she plays.

Enjoying the regular appearance of a microfibre cloth. Yesterday the mens game on Robins TV could have done with a bit of that.

You clearly didn’t need 9 on your subs bench back then. ?

Yes

Surely if you say a match will be abandoned every time there is racial abuse from the crowd, anyone unhappy with their team's losing position can shout something racially offensive to get the game abandoned. You might end up with total chaos in the fixtures and more racial abused being shouted than you do now.

If your pass is validated by being double jabbed it should give a month. If it’s by inputting the code off a lateral flow test as negative it only gives 2 days. My understanding from my Welsh friends is that what makes it all completely pointless is that you don’t need a negative test, you need an unused test code which you report to be negative. Whether you do the test is between you and your conscience. So the only factual knowledge the steward gets is your date of birth. That could be awkward for some if combined with ticket categories.

My issue with the relentless apologies is that most of the time I hadn’t heard anything ‘offensive’ and it draws attention and invites unattended kids to rewind to hear the said words.

Park and ride never seem to check whether users are catching a bus. Closes at 2245 so fine for evening games unless cup games with potential extra time / penalties, but it is closed on Sundays so not an option for Sunday games.

Communication and teamwork seems to be a weakness in most of our senior players. Maybe good humans don’t tell each other what to do, but it’s hard for our team to become more than the sum of it’s parts unless several players are capable of doing that at the appropriate time.

Against the top 5 teams in WSL you are on a hiding to nothing setting up to hold on to nil nil from the start and hoping for something on the counter arrack. It really doesn’t seem like the best use of the players they’ve got. I hope Beard’s knowledge of the league will allow him to adjust the game plan depending on opposition weakness as well as giving Salmon a better chance to make the most of her obvious talent. I fear that even if they stay up she will be gone at the end of the season.

Everton are considerably stronger than they were when Willie Kirk took over. I think they are considered integral to the Everton in the community offer to encourage the around 50% of the population who are female to enjoy being physically active themselves. I still feel that City were cornered into having a women's club by Rovers getting relegated out of the league and if they could would give them back as a drain on resources. In this game the ref has 'tried to let the game flow' or has missed an awful lot.

If Matt Beard didn't know what he'd taken on he does now. Next weekend could be painful as well. I don't remember them not losing to Chelsea since the formation of the league and in recent seasons it's been a pasting home and away every time.

I'd love to know where this map and milages came from?
