The league are implementing big changes. All the teams have to be fully professional and employ a, for woman's football at this level, fairly extensive staff (with set positions - e.g. team doctor, Director of Football etc.) It's linked to the Championship becoming WSL2 (as an attempt to bring a more professional structure to woman's football ... separate from the men's club (if attached to one) / the men's governing body). Blackburn have claimed they don't have the money to do it. Members of Blackburn's woman's team, supported by many others in the woman's game and our own players, have publicly called 'bullshit' on it.

Says in here that Amy Andrew's has announced she's leaving. Missed that but not surprised. Also talks about her being better on the wing than upfront, which I've also said. That makes three leavers that are known and the retain list is due out any time.

London City showed how it's done, to be fair. They have an owner who is 100% committed to them being in the WSL (and has the experiece with Olympique Lyonnais of knowing what it takes to be at the top). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Kang?useskin=vector#Olympique_Lyonnais

For those, if any, who fancy cosplaying a, left-behind, footballer watching different world cup matches on there 7 screens (or not) -

She looked better, today, as a pacy winger than as a striker.

The passing for the second goal was great. Lumsden's third was a corker. Missed Hayle's first. Against lesser opposition but it's good to see them score more freely.

I'd agree. Well on top but the defending on the two goals, and in general, had been poor. Both their wingers are getting in / past our defenders with ease. Defenders thinking they have much more time than they do, being passed / run past too easily, poor positioning. Also, we really need to buy someone who can play in the box / take a long shot that isn't a weak one into the keeper's hands.

Looks like Hayles for Gregory.
