Post ahead.

Not great news from Taylor's presser yesterday with the injury to Knaak. Picked up a hamstring strain late into the 2nd of 2 international matches after making her debut in the earlier game. Will miss a few weeks. Hopefully everyone else comes back okay but it was a tough (but happy) schedule for the Japanese players who won the SheBelieves Cup. Coombs maybe back in the squad too but still too early for Hempo & Alex who may both be back later in the month.

Game will be shown on WSL YouTube channel.

Cheers for that last sentence.
Had forgotten about this game so a handy reminder.

Bit of a shaky start here

Once again we’re struggling with the opposition’s pressing

Once again we’re struggling with the opposition’s pressing

Usual way we start games - all the problems due to not being able to bring the ball out quickly. Even when they had a player off injured we couldn't get the ball out of our own half.

Have we been out of our own half yet?

Viv =quality

What a header

 

[JRockBlues]

Get in. Great work down the right with LBB & Fujino. Good cross and a nice headed finish from Viv.

Ha ha Miedama (dee, der, dee de da) scores with our first shot. Makes a change from conceding with the first

 

[freshie]

Miedema is so good

 

[blue whippet]

Our movement since we got the goal has been very good

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Fujino is having a really good game. Seems she’s settling in and improving now.

Some tough competition for her spot but she's making the position her own at the moment. Really impressive performances over the last few games.

 

[johnny crossan]

1-1 poor defending

 

[JRockBlues]

Gifted them an equaliser.

That was terrible from Alexandria. Both teams scoring against the run of play. Very irritating those undercooked back passes which we fart about with all the time.
