League Cup @ Newcastle Utd, Gateshead Stadium, 2pm, Sunday

[Oyster28catcher]

A decent opportunity to play a few younger players and mix up the fringe players. Heading up and quite excited to see how seriously we'll take this game.

I would have been there but Unite organised a meeting for midday on Sunday. Wouldn't care but I'm at the Glasshouse, Gateshead on the evening.

 

[JRockBlues]

Should be available on WSL YouTube channel by the looks of things

If City ever did 'formalities' this could be the first of the season. I'm gonna fire up our lasses to get it sorted by HT and suggest they will go in 0-0, having broken the WSL record of backward passes in a first half. Prove me wrong, girls!

Stronger lineup than I was expecting.

Oh, match is also available on City+ for those that have it.

Good luck to the girls!

Looking very dodgy at the back here.

& it's cost us. Helluva strike though tbf.

 

[blue whippet]

Oh dear, gave the ball away, neither fullback looking comfortable but a good strike.

Was Keating watching the play. Looked completely distracted.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Atrocious defending. Great finish though

I've said it before; lovely girl and one of my favourites, but I'm 99% sure she's got ADHD. Her concentration is atrocious

 

[Bigga]

I DO NOT like the Prior-Rose defensive partnership.

It's too early for that as neither have the game time to manage the positions, at this level.

Silly decision.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Somebody please wind Shaw up.

Yep - This is a big chance for Layzel and Prior to show they deserve to be in the team but so far both look very shaky - They can't seem to cope with any press, constantly backing off and not great at passing. Laila just being her usual self, great going forward but dodgy defensively.

I wonder if she saw the ball at all. Is there a sightscreen at the other end?

We're just standing off and letting NUFC take the ball upto our penalty area. It's quite frustrating to watch.

In no way was she at fault for that goal! Rose lost that ball, so it's on her.

It was a long distance snap shot out of her diving range. Yamashita would have been rooted too.
