On the right side of 40 at least. Seems as if she plays the full range of the left-hand side. I'd like to see a striker signed of at least the same caliber, as I can't see us going up without doing so. We may as well do so if we intend to challenge, as LCL had to change just about their whole team (who beat us fairly convincingly to the title last year) when they went up.

wey hey 1-1

I think they changed in anticipation of promotion, where that rule applies.

At home against West Ham United in next round.

Obviously at a level where it's easier to score.

3-0

Seemingly not. 2-0 now, both Hayles.

It did lob the keeper. It wasn't very powerful, and perhaps could / should have been saved but was clearly deliberate. Wardlaw's run and cross (as someone said above) was the best bit of the match.

Somehow, that does surprise me. Ditchburn has a long background, including coaching Manchester City's under 21 women. She seemed a bit miffed they hadn't got nine points out of nine (instead of seven).

Claire Ditchburn dodged the question totally in her interview. She was asked if she'd like the job and it was as if nobody had asked a question. As previously suggested, and it's probably the correct tack, they've obviously been told what they should say (and probably what they can't).

As said, got poleaxed in the box in a mass collision. Walked off but who knows with long-term injury problems. May be just concussion protocol.
