Women's Team - 2021/22

[Tim of the Oak]

Well done ladies. Good performances across the pitch and a wonderful goal from Steph.

That was a very good start to our WSL campaign. Very impressed with Losada & Shaw and pleased that they both got off the mark. Janine Beckie never lets us down but could do with working on her left foot a bit more by the looks of things. Although it was good to get some minutes into the legs I was surprised that Stanway came on for 30 mins considering Evcerton were being quite physical in their approach. Will be interesting to see what our starting line-up will be when everyone is fit and available for selection.

Stanway has been our most physical player in recent seasons so we needed a bit more bit on the pitch. Hopefully, tue new Aussie defender will add more steel too.

Anyone know if it's possible to turn up on Wednesday night with a credit card and gain admittance to the Stadium?

It was lovely to hear the BBC hatred of the ladies as much as our mens team

I don't know if it's been mentioned but Talk Shite had full commentary of the game. I only caught the last 10 minutes but it seemed reasonably balanced to me.

We did well, as always it's was all about Everton. The only positive comments were from Alex Scott. The game was almost like Everton v some foreign side they way it was covered.

A Taliban 11 from Afghanistan arriving at “Fred Talbot” Albert Dock in a dinghy playing at Goodson would get more positive press than us.

Remember when we played Everton in the ladies cup final, I had to turn the sound off. It was like a NForest Goldbridge watch along

The former Everton keeper hates us with a passion and considering City were 3-0 up at half time, the first thing said was "Everton will be disappointed"

I noticed that as well, they were so one sided wanting Everton to score

Darren Ambrose git his arse handed to him trying to be bad cop. "Women's football shouldn't have as much coverage as the men's"

Thinking of going when they play the scum away at Leigh

Excellent performance from the City women, a positive start to the season.
Plus I will say the standard of women's football has improved so much in a relatively short space of time.

 

[cleavers]

Given who was missing today, that was not only a great result, but also a great performance too, I'd say if we get everyone fit, we have a very good squad, best game I've seen Beckie have for City. Laura Coombs stood in well for Walsh too.

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Really enjoyed that performance. So many positives especially from an injury hit squad.

My amp came back from repair and I also got new speakers so I'm breaking my music back in so to speak. Played quite a varied set during the game and used the match thread for commentary. Much better than the screeching commentator. Can't really comment on ex keeper's take but she was quite complimentary before kick off. She's a Burnley girl who played for Everton and normally makes no secret of her allegiances before any broadcast. Never heard her go partisan previously so that surprises me a bit. When they get the female equivalent of Ratboy and Spitty sitting alongside Tylerisacun* ladies footer will have truly evolved.

Does anybody know where can I find the attendances for this game and other WSL matches from the weekend?

I've looked on BBC and WSL (FA Site) but can't see them listed anywhere.

Just checked and exact figure was 5,998. No report on other games that I could see. Would assume the ragettes had a far bigger crowd as they are the biggest and bestest club in the whole wide world

Yeah you think maybe 250k give or take a couple of hundred ;)

Yep, very encouraged by yesterday's performance and result. Let's hope Chelsea drop some points today. Arsenal will be a threat this season, but Chelsea need to lose points.
