Good to see three City players though. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/smiths-leicester-city-press-conference/ Lauren Smith's press conference has just come out, which mentions that Abi didn't get a call-up due to picking up an ankle injury last week (therefore won't be available this weekend). She also confirmed that there was an in-house game played last week, which included some academy players. Also, Sarah Stratigakis is out for this week due to illness, and everyone else still injured (Fran Bentley, Satara Murray, Rachel Furness etc) are still injured Edited February 15 by shahanshahan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren talked about changing the shape of the side over the season using as an example Megan Connolly moving into midfield. Not sure about that, based on what I saw in the Villa game, think she's a better defender. Embarrassment of riches at centre half with Connolly, Aspin & Layzell.

shahanshahan Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Not sure why we're gonna be in the third kit when it was fine for the men's team to wear the red kit at the King Power earlier this season. However, the women's team have got most of their points wearing the third kit. So maybe it's lucky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Football returns! Time to get moving and get some points today. Really is becoming a necessity that we end the defeats and avoid getting cut adrift now. COYR! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 The keeper will have to play another blinder again but we can definitely get something out of this match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Aspin & Struck return to starting XI. Evans & Syme dropped to bench Bentley returns to matchday squad but only makes the bench. Harrison out with injury & Stratigakis out with illness KO 3pm, live on FA Player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel sorry for them, and I don't for one minute think they'll find it quite as easy next season back in the Championship as they did before. So well done all involved in 'investing' in our women's team. I don't really think it will be any different if the men's team ever get promoted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've given it a go all season, so admirable, but don't have the quality sadly. I live in hope they'll snatch an equaliser in this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
