Spoons Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Went to the game and it was so slow , everything was slow. No tempo , no urgency and passes either under hit or wayward. Odd tactics from city and Liverpool weren’t much better ! This city squad will struggle in the championship to fight for automatic promotion. why bring Abi Harrison on in 93rd minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played almost constantly through the 90 minutes, offering nothing to the atmosphere I've never been aware of this at any UK ground apart from ours People are there to watch a football match not some two bob drum outfit The only benefit of the drummers is that they are on the other side of the stadium and have stopped the drum being among the fans. No offence to the excellent fans with the drum last season and the start of this but it does not help tinnitus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miser Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Crystal Palace effectively promoted to WSL. They did announce project to achieve such one year ago (recruited our general manager as part of that process). Will be interesting to see how they fare. Assuming Leicester promotion, WSL will be entirely Premier League affiliated. Meanwhile minnows Lewes & Watford relegated from Championship replaced by Newcastle and Portsmouth. Will a much tougher league than 2 season ago. Will need a big reset by City to compete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honor Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Hi all, I'm hoping you might be able to help, this discussion is really relevant to a study I'm doing at the moment: I’m looking for men aged 18-30, who have an interest in football, to take part in interviews about women's football for my dissertation. It would take around an hour but can flex to whatever time you have available. Watching/following/liking women’s football isn’t a requirement, just something to say about it. Send me an email on gb19565@bristol.ac.uk if you'd be up for it! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrondrew Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 As view from the Dolman says but the tickets are still appearing in my season tickets tab. I guess they might get cancelled. I assume they were setting up for an announcement soon...presumably after the division we will be playing in next year is decided at the weekend?

Erithacus Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Shaw being ruled out is a minor footnote - Man C have plenty of backup. Incidentally, I see ex-Robin Lauren Hemp has agreed to a new 3-year deal with them. Seems the length of contracts for the top flight players is on the up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted Sunday at 15:04 Report Share Posted Sunday at 15:04 We were needing a win anyway, but an extra point may well be of no importance. Well, here goes the last game of the season. A season of what has to be seen as a miserable time at Ashton Gate. No points (with no sign of any today!) and a real disappointment all round. Of course, we didn't expect to be fighting for the title in our first season, but to be cut well and truly adrift has been a painful lesson. However, we also should see our time as one to build on, even if it means those lessons are applied for a spell in the Championship. Several players have made their mark and the team has made some improvements in the approach. I'm not sure of the average age of the side but it must be one of the lower in the WSL. I hope we can maintain a significant presence and that those young players will stay here to carry on the dream. Perhaps we can attract some better players for the start of next season too. Hopefully. COYR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted Sunday at 15:22 Report Share Posted Sunday at 15:22 I just don't know why Lanadown didn't invest. Sure I get sustainability and all that. But if the WSL does takes off like it may well do, then you really do want to be part of it when it does. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. COYR Average age is 24 apparently. I wouldn't necessarily totally write us off this evening, Furniss made a big difference last week while she was on and we do have a fit squad plus they're missing Shaw. Of course they have their other stars but they might take a while adjusting to playing without their focal point, maybe we could grab a goal in this bedding in period. Call me a dreamer but you never know! Hopefully most of the squad will stay. If players like Bentley, Powell, Napier, Harrison, Morgan, Layzell, Connolly, Rodgers, Jones, Syme, Layzell, Thestrup (please) stick around we'll be near the top. It would be interesting to see who's coming through from the Academy U21's. Sounds as though there are some good players there based on the snippets from the City women twitter but there's sod all on the website, that I can see anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
