I think a massively important thing is how we have/are growing the women's team. While undoubtably we've got the financial clout the other teams in the league can only dream of, we have put that money towards giving local talent the opportunity to step up by giving them professional contracts. It really feels like the club are investing in the talent already available, from Becky Langlely down. It really helps grow that connection between fans and the team. The social media posts too are really on point and make it clear that (most of) the lasses are Geordies living out their dream by playing in the black and white... I mean we've even got a player called Keegan! The development team absolutely destroying their league, I hope, emphasises the point. I'd love to see us become a real force in women's football, driven by developing local talent.

I know its only been a few minutes, but Gordon looks a different player this half. Is he okay?

Think their subs may have just done that for us.

Decent video I watched on it while ago.

That goal is exactly what we've missed from Willock. Finds the space between the lines, exploits it.

Good run from Burn .

Cut them open with ease, basically what teams have been doing to us. Brilliant run from Bruno to catch up to the front two.

Dreadful positioning by Botman, miles behind the other defenders.

Seems to be bus replacement service on the line between St Pancras & Luton. Great location/timing choice here...

Seriously? I've never known a season filled with such ridiculous cup draws Man City twice. Man U Chelsea PSG Milan Dortmund sunderland Fulham Blackburn.

OH MARTIN DUBRAVKA

Argh shite, Barnes has looked unconvincing all game

Gerrin Dubs!

Howay Schar.... Nicely done.

At least he had the sense to foul him.

Aye thats it, just let their player jog the entire length of the pitch with the ball

Which is 30 minutes more than some who've been on the pitch all game.

Miggy has been our best player all game.

Miggy is on one tonight

Schar, how has he got away with that

Nicely done, good movement Miggy

Gordon man, got to do better there.

Halifax and Hashtag United

2-1, 89th minute, about time, we've been all over them this half.

third time hitting the bar
