Oh and Jill Scott should still be playing regularly.

Oh and Jill Scott should still be playing regularly.

Jill is the female equivalent of Fernandinho in that age has sadly caught up to her and while there will still be moments of magic she won't be able to do it week-in, week-out. While I loved her burst through the lines to set up Bunny's hat-trick goal she did seem to leave her feet diving into tackles at the back a few times. Not ideal if playing against better opposition albeit as a tempory defensive stopgap.

With everyone fit she wouldn't be playing there, she's still a good player imho, and in the woman's game speed is less important than in the men's.

Anyway it was good to see her playing, and doing her bit for the team.

Better players would have 'done' her on a couple of occasions and if yer have to go down it smacks of 'last ditch' and the path to goal was wide open. But when you consider that everyone in the back line was either makeshift or out of position they played very well!

That 2nd half was much more like it.

Great to see the ladies bouncing back so well.

Does anybody have an update on all the injured players?

It'd be easier to list those that aren't

 

[JRockBlues]

Not seen anything about Losada or how serious her injury is. Hemp & Greenwood both stuggling too (the latter played with 1 leg heavily strapped up) to go along with all the others that have already been missing in recent matches. Probably end up with Keating as our only sub option on Sunday and she's our 4th choice goalkeeper.

Losada and Angeldahl both looked as though they'd need carrying off at one stage. We're up the creek if those two don't make it!

We were beaten by Spurs so Jill Scott deserves a run of games. We could do with a few more players committing themselves to the tackle.
