old_eastender Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 2-1 Villa now, we have been terrible 2nd half, can't get any possession past the half-way line, playing super deep. It was just a question of when Villa would score, stupid tactics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full nelson Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 I'd rather be winning more games in a lower league, more fun. This ain't fun to watch and feel embarrassed for the girls as they ain't good enough currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 A few changes to the line-up today and it looks like they are up for it. Girls are showing some character and resolve, which will set the tone for the rest of the season. COYR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 (edited) Hopefully a big boost to their confidence, grabbing a 2-2 draw. Villa will wonder how they have not won the game, being so dominant for most of the 2nd half. Having Aspin back in the defence 2nd half made a big positive difference for us. Recent signing Evans gave us nothing, just like last week. Harrison who came on for her continues to struggle, twice caught in possession nearly leading to Villa goals.

Eco Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Somehow got a draw out of that! This team are really fighting for everything, got to admire their spirit. If only we had someone like Jordan Nobbs in midfield we'd save an awful lot of energy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Really enjoyed the game. Hopefully the ladies can take some confidence from this point. It was great to see the effort to come back twice from going behind. I think we showed Villa a little too much respect with the really poor first 15 from us not helping with that. Villa didn't cope well when we ran at them but we didn't get the quality of ball forward often enough to cause them real trouble. The best aspect of our play was causing Villa to lose the ball in midfield where we pressed them well at times. We picked up a number of loose balls and mixed it up well. The "Rachel Daly's in a strop" chant got a laugh even from the Villa fans. A final minute of putting ourselves under needless pressure in our own box led to a heart in mouth moment and I'll have to watch the game back tonight on TV but it did look like the ball struck one of our players on the arm / hand. The Ref seemed to be a homer with a couple of decisions going against us or missed for us. Overall though, it was a good point. Only time will tell if that's something we can build back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can beat, or not lose, to Leicester & Brighton and hope it's not all over come the Everton match. Can you work out why our away results are so much better than home?

Must be very disheartening to be involved in a team where you pretty much know you’re going to lose most fixtures because you can’t compete. Has anyone ever put it to the owner why he doesn’t seem bothered about having successful teams playing in the shiny infrastructure. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The women are pulling in some decent crowds which must generate some decent revenue, Relegation will massively impact that revenue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it’s his clubs and his money! Don’t understand why anyone like him gets involved in sport if they don’t want the glory? SL could find enough cash down the side of his sofa to help keep the girls up. Truly baffling and very sad for all those involved with City ladies who thought the recent promotion was the start of bigger things. I can’t understand it with the high profile of women’s football now but then I can understand when I remember who’s running the show. It will be a happy day for me when the Lansdowns move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
