miser Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Excellent performance today. We were on the attack from the outset and dominated Palace throughout the 90 minutes. An excellent week for the team and promotion is now ours to lose. On today's performance, that ain't gonna happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the authorities don't think this will be detrimental. Do Palace Women often play at Selhurst? COYR Not that often. Palace fans I know are annoyed that both games overlap...

shahanshahan Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Heading back home now. City looked a really attacking side & were all over Palace for a lot of the game. Great brace from Clinton & Harrison getting a goal once again. Great to meet @SinéadB in person!

Erithacus Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Sounds a great day! This might prove to have cracked the title race this season. I know there are many games left but this weekend will have made a big dent in London City's hopes. That's two defeats in the last three matches for them. On to Durham next week... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Photos I took from today's game... Other than the artificial pitch, Hayes Lane at Bromley is a rather nice ground. Another one crossed off the list! 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miser Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Clever tactics to put Harrison into central midfield. I wasn't expecting it and neither were Palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it my imagination watching this and the 2 results against Man City in the cup games that is there quite a gulf between the WSL and the Championship? If they get promoted what are the chances of staying up? Would it require a lot of recruitment? Do we know if SL is willing to back them appropriately? Not meaning to sound too negative, just trying to understand the context. The same issues would apply to the current men’s team if they got promoted from the Championship to the Premier League - only a few players would make it at that level, so we would be dependent on recruiting a significant number of new players.

There is a gap, probably getting bigger each season as the WSL is increasingly dominated by the Premier big guns. Would require investment if promoted. The Man City results were probably a bit unfair on the team as we didn't play our strongest 11 in either game. If we get up, it will be a scrap with the bottom teams, but you can't be scared of success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 In answer to my other post, I have Lauren Smith's record as: P-49 W-29 D-7 L-13 Win Percentage of 51.9%, or 88pts from a theoretical 147 (that's 59.8%) overall. Must be a lot of coaches who would like to be at that level. I'm missing a game from somewhere but it still illustrates her tenure well. Could it be she will be head-hunted for more senior positions, like previous City coaches I could mention (but won't)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
