No Syd or Khiara for this one...



No Alex either but in brighter news Kerolin & Lily Murphy both back with the squad...

That's as expected then.

Lily played & scored for the U21s in the last week.

Early Team News
Our matchday squad will be published in around 25 minutes, but Andrée Jeglertz did have some positive news to share in his pre-match press conference.

He confirmed that Kerolin and Lily Murphy were both likely to be involved in the squad in some capacity after recovering from injury.

Alex Greenwood is progressing well but won't feature this weekend, nor will Sydney Lohmann or Khiara Keating, who picked up injuries on international duty.

We should win this game but anything can happen, early goal would be nice.

Looking forward to this, with a strong bench for the first time this season, come on City!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

That's a good starting eleven, and a strong bench. We can't come away empty-handed, can we?

It’s on Skysports football

Plenty of hold ups due to ‘injuries’

 

[freshie]

Bunny should have a hat trick by now

 

[nmc]

Bit slow and pedestrian so far. Need to step it up.

 

[johnny crossan]

hard work watching this

 

[Mr HJ]

Attack against defence here. I don't know if it's me but in previous years Bunny didn't need too many chances to convert but she seems to need about four or five these days. Quite wasteful really.

First goal important as they will not be able to keep this defending up for 90+

 

[east2]

Bunny - head like a shoe box!

 

[Lee the Blue]

Well we've had to work really hard to not score there but somehow managed it. Can only assume Bunny Shaw spent yesterday on the lash as she's had umpteen presentable chances and fluffed them all.

You just cannot duff this game Ladies. An opponent we should be beating by 3 or 4 goals.

No it's not.

Both Bunny and Viv are languishing at 11% conversion rate this season. In the last 2 seasons Bunny was around 22/23%.

Needs hooking, pity Fowler is laid up.
