If Bristol City ladies played v male Bristol City players at 19, players of that age are in the professional development phase Mickey Bell oversees.

Earps was discussed, with some of United's fanbase looking like they'd rather have their new goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce start (and who has impressed for them in the Conti Cup). Also not happy that Earps hasn't signed a new contract with United (she's out of contract this season), and they think she'll leave in January, or in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Myself, D-M & other supporters have been working on getting a songbook done. We've had songs for years, but never got a songbook made.

1960maaan Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 When do the teams coaches turn up before a game. My niece is in town and want to see the Man U team arrive, she's a big Mary Earps fan. Kick off at 12:30, so I guess they will arrive about an hour before, anyone know the usual timing ?

old_eastender Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Surprised Liv Clark plays again in goal, she was so weak dealing with high balls. Maybe Haaland did not impress against Spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Aspin stretchered off, Mustaki on to replace her. 0-0 half-way thru 1st half, Liz Clark has made a couple of decent shot saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 HT 0-0. Man.U as expected had majority of play. Liv Clark made 3 decent saves from shots. One chance fashioned for us when good Rodgers header saved well by Earps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Set up as we are with a 5-4-1 it's definately been all about keeping United out and picking up what we can afterwards. Agree with the above comment that the gulf in ability between the two sides has looked quite big at times. We've grown in to the game and looked a lot more comfortable on the ball in the last ten minutes but the scoreline is mostly due to a couple of great saves. Two things that are frustrating to see are the lack of width from the two wide midfielders, particularly Threstrup down the left who has missed several opportunities to stretch the United defence. Secondly, the quality of pass has not been great, we seem to give the ball away far to often with a rushed pass or a wild long ball to no where.

Port Said Red Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Is there a case for redesigning the women's shirts? I know how this sounds but I can't read half the names on the shirts because of the proliferation of ponytails.

Letting it go pot like this, and chance finishing one off the bottom is not a way to run a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every other team in the Super League are affiliated to a Premier League club (Leicester City might as well be). That means they can use the TV money to supplement the Women's team. We don't have that luxury, and presumably would only be able to afford to compete by siphoning off money from the men's team. I am sure that would be a very unpopular thing to do.

I am sure that would be a very unpopular thing to do. The money needed to invest in the Women's team is peanuts compared to the Men's. With the women's game becoming more popular all the time, it would be VERY short sighted of the club not to let them strengthen the side with a couple of signings in Jan to help them stay in the WSL. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) FT 0-2. Good battling performance from start to finish, could have folded after conceding 2 goals in 5 mins at start of second half (including really unlucky deflection for the first), but credit to them that they didn't. 100% need to strengthen in the Jan window, but with a couple of additions they could stay up this season and then build from that.

Only saw the last 15 minutes or so but did well. Obvious difference in resources but absolutely no lack of determination or skill. Let’s hope they can finish above another club in the mini league at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
