The pattern of play, considering the possession we have had in that second half, is just mind-numbing. Players, receiving the ball in midfield, with no opposition player within five or ten yards, choose to pass back. We drive forward to the oppo area and then apply the brakes and pass back. Yer right about CFC getting a dozen each half against a team like Leicester. We seem to have incredible purple scoring patches stretching over a minimum of minutes and then the most toothless periods where we bang a collective head against a wall. I think CFC or The Arse would have put us under severe pressure in that game. I await the Arse game with some trepidation.Chelsea would have scored 12 against this Leicester team. Our finishing and in particular that of Ellen White needs serious addressing.
Jess Park has played well but Ruby Mace hasn’t been great.
Future manager?Great news that Steph Houghton has signed a contract extension. Long may she stay with us. A model professional and a good advert for women's football.
Should have had one weeks ago.Probably didn't want to get accused of disrespecting the opposition by scoring too many so took it easy in the 2nd half.
Plusses from the game were Jess Park and more minutes for Houghton & Bronze. Nice easy debut for Keating too.
Fantastic idea. Just the role model the future Blue Ladies could look up to. :-)Future manager?
Interesting that the contract length wasn't disclosed.Great news that Steph Houghton has signed a contract extension. Long may she stay with us. A model professional and a good advert for women's football.
