Women's Team 2020/21

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

FT 7-1.

We played some decent enough stuff, scored some good goals, but a long way off our best for me, sometimes sloppy play (their goal), and still too much play facing or going in the wrong direction. Can't complain about scoring 7 two games in a row.

The number of times a player on the ball had the time to turn and look for a continuation of the movement forwards was substantial but instead they face the way they've received the ball and pass backwards or sideways, and when we do add a bit of pace and attack forward we have the players - Hemp and Kelly - to get behind the full backs, but the clause in Steph's contract that she has to have three touches in each move still remains! But I suppose the scoreline can justify it.

Agree, can't argue with scoreline but switched off after half an hour. Our passing backwards is getting longer and longer.

Remember when we played football and you passed to a team mate who had his back to the opposition but no opponent close you would shout "Turn," is this a thing of the past.?

Sometimes I think they have rotated the pitch and put the goals on the long side! FaPlayer seems to have the best camera angle available but most of the women's grounds mean it's only a few feet above the action and the endless shifting of the ball across the back line, back to Ellie and then back across the line makes the ball look as though it's travelling a couple of furlongs between each player. And it puts absolutely no pressure on the opposition whatsoever.

Postponed game today?

 

[waspish]

No just kicked off

 

[Cornish_Blue]

1-0 already.
Great cross from Chloe Kelly yet agai, and Weir putting it away. She should show Mahrez how to attack defenders and cross the ball.

 

[remember arthur mann]

New girl Abby Dahlkemper 13 looks a solid defender but she'll need to get used to the British weather.
