Crazy tactics. Sitting back on a one goal lead. Not sure we are good enough to see this out.

Maybe, but Brum aren't good enough to capitalise on it. Game over. 1-0 three points. Top of the league? I couldn't get to the game today but have followed it minute by minute on BBC and Twitter. Apart from the score line one stat catches my eye from the BBC - FOULS City 19 Birmingham 3! WTF. Never in a game of football! I saw one tweet that suggested that the ref today was the worst in the league!
Watched it on BT. Ref was pretty poor - edgy game and the ref lost control; she seemed to be trying to placate an overly aggressive Birmingham team. We looked poor defending set pieces today but a good 3 points.
First time I've heard a cheer at a WSL game when we got a free kick second half, she pretty much gave them every decision, and us nothing, though we did commit a lot of stupid fouls. Whilst I don't always think the referee's are particularly good, they are usually pretty fair, but this one might as well as had a birmingham shirt on.Apart from the score line one stat catches my eye from the BBC - FOULS City 19 Birmingham 3!

Of all the other teams in the FAWSL I've probably seen Birmingham most, after watching City, and they are a bunch of snappers. There's one mouthy madam, gingery hair. playas at the back who want to play and ref at the same time. I used to think that we needed women refs in women's football but some of the one's I've seen this season are just not upto the job, particularly when one of the players wants to take control of the whistle.

It was the full back with red hair who was giving it out today - barging in to players off the ball etc. Whining like a banchee trying to get City players booked. All too often the ref was ‘persuaded’ to give decisions. Poor officiating but to be fair the ref was no worse than the blokes I’ve seen ref at this level.
