Should have had 3 or 4 first half, then the second half would have been irrelevant.After that shocking 20 minutes we got nack to normal without being particularly good but we did create quite a few chances and really should have scored again.
I do think that , apart from obviously winning games, Nick's toughest challenge is keeping all the players happy. I think we have already seen from Duggan and Christiansen , as soon as they are not first choice they get a bit unhappy and look elsewhere. This could probably happen as well with the likes of Mel Lawley ( and others if we ever get a full squad!)
I thought the same as others last night when no change was made when we had players on the bench who were different. Janine for one also 2 " flying" wingers who just might have made a difference. It certainly would have allowed Georgia to stay more central.
One thing for certain is we are missing Demi Stokes. Once Lucy left we needed to have Demi flying down the left at times to create problems but with Abbie and Gemma there is basically no attacking threat at all.
I’ve made the point before but no one ever listens at City, now is the time for a new manager. He took them to a high position in the women’s game but the team has gone backwards for the past year. Crowds are down and those that might start to come now can’t be bothered.I do think that , apart from obviously winning games, Nick's toughest challenge is keeping all the players happy.

Got too agree mate , time for a new manager . Put Nick Cushing back as a coach with the women's youth teams and get a manager in that wants to win things . Also what is happening with the women that are injured ? Demi Stokes , Megan Campbell and Pauline Bremer what is happening with them ? Seen Megan walking passed the North stand last night , she seemed ok . Demi and Megan are really big misses at the moment, as they are left sided defenders what we don't seem to have at the moment !I’ve made the point before but no one ever listens at City, now is the time for a new manager.

The managers reluctance to change last night maybe condemned the team to just try for second which may then result in third or fourth. This is not good enough for a City team and the manager must take most of the blame. He doesn’t look interested at all and certainly does not raise moral within the team. Time to go or be pushed imo.
Christiansen was the best player in the team when she was getting dropped so I’m not surprised she was pissed off.
