Cclay Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Well. I watched it instead of the lads (just knew). Seems like a good decision given the moaning in the match thread. We won and, as said, can't now go down (which was one of the goals). The match was swings and roundabouts (as the score suggests). Lumsden's goals were good. There was the usual opposition passing around us and sidestepping / turning around tackles too often. Our winner was a bit of luck, coming in the last minute or so from a backward defensive header that dropped just in the right place. That said, still in with an outside chance, given we win the game in hand and someone else beats Birmingham (our beating them will only draw us level and they have a far superior goal difference). We've lost the fewest game in the division, but those draws have screwed us. Edited March 3 by Cclay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's going to be an interesting end to the season. After having next weekend off we have 7 games in 8 weeks. If we can get momentum we can achieve 3rd and who knows whether or not Birmingham or the Lionesses will struggle in the run in. With the financial backing and the manager they have, I think the lionesses may well do it but their final fixture is against Birmingham. If we beat both of them at home it could be a really interesting finish to the season. We put together a winning run and who knows. Why I'm still optimistic after St James yesterday I have no idea!!!!! Up to now I think the lasses, even though new to the league, have under achieved. The last 5 minutes against both Durham and Charlton have probably cost us promotion. To be still in it with 2 months to go is tremendous for our first season and we still haven't hit the levels I expected. If they can only click for the last 2 months, then we could all be on 41 points going into the final game with them playing each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top four or so teams essentially accumulate all the best talent and are currently in a league of their own. I think somebody said we have five wins and a draw against the teams below us and just one point against the teams above us. It’s going to take a long time for that to change.

Cclay Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Calalogue of errors, as is becoming a theme. Slack passing and Durham making the easy pass to a player in space over and over, as every other team we've played seem to find too easy. The goals have come from very quick transition to a player with almost no defenders on them, often after said slack pass from us. Long day, ahead.

toontownman Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Gutted. That's likely championship for another season confirmed. Not the worst thing for our build. We should be able to have an idea of who can cut it at this level and certainly who won't another level up. Hopefully a decent spend in the summer leveling up again so we can look to dominate with a squad that can stay in the WSL if it goes up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UV Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Curious but what do yous that watch the women's team regularly think about the manager? From someone who takes an interest and wants the womens team to do well but isn't completely invested, it seems like managers in the women's game get let off lightly compared to the men's game where the manager is always to blame. The manager surely has to take some blame for performances this season even if it is big step up? Edited March 16 by UV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT24 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I like Langley but don’t think she’s taken the necessary step up this season. I would give her next season though. The club are really investing in a structure with a new Director of Football and Academy Manager, so she will have all the help she might need.

iklgizmo Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Managers do normally get more of a chance in the women's game, but I think it's because there aren't many alternatives! At least 6 of the WSL teams have sacked their manager this season though! I don't feel like Becky has what it takes to go any further, if she's the one in charge of recruitment, as its been questionable to say the least this season! Suppose this is where we see how ruthless the Saudis are! This season has been a failure for the lasses given what theyve spent, so do they take action, or are they happy to plod along where they are!!

Expand Hate to say it on such a great day, but she is totally out of her level and should be replaced.
