Newcastle United Women beat Sunderland 1-0


Recommended Posts

Typical performance this season, dominating most of the game, but a combination of poor final ball and a lack of striker meaning we are still level, when we have been totally dominant throughout.
 

Hayles is a half decent scorer, but offers little else. Gregory has got into wonderful positions countless times, but then hasn't beat her player once. Reminds me a bit of the Durham game up here, dominated again, but hit with a breakaway goal at the end  Got to do better in that final third, or I wouldn't be surprised if the same again happened. 
 

I still can't understand why the boat wasn't pushed out in January, as the same issues have been there since game 1. We were in a decent position and I'm sure the club could have brought in some decent players to get the third promotion in a row. Either attempted to convince some WSL (the difference between the two leagues is massive) players with the club's ambition or look abroad (we just don't seem to do this). This league was winnable.

 

Hopefully lessons learned for next season, but I'm not convinced by the manager at this level. The weaknesses stand out like a sore thumb (especially up front) and yet In two windows, nothing has been done to rectify the problem.

 

Positive to end with the crowd, 38,502 is absolutely unreal! 10,000 above out record attendance and well over double the Championship attendance record.

Must be a record for that level of lasses' football?

It has obliterated it. The previous record was about 15k I think (at the Sunderland v Newcastle game at SoL)
