Paullow Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 They've signed a goalkeeper, but possibly not one to go straight into the first team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag3.14 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Is Becky really tall or have we signed another shorty as a keeper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Interested as to who leads the transfer charge for this team. Do we have a separate recruiting and scouting team to the men's? Is it largely just Becky and her team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From watching a few games getting a tall as possible goalie in would give a huge advantage. Lobbing the keeper from range is common. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobbing the keeper from range is common. I appreciate there's not as big a pool of players to pick from compared to the men's game but I'm surprised this isn't taken more in to consideration tbh. I pissed myself laughing when someone recommended I tried out in goal just for my school team back in the day yet one quick scroll through squad lists on whoscored.com and I've seen there's at least two goalkeepers in the Super League that have the same declared height as me.. I'm 5 foot 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloydianMag Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Women’s team sportswashing their way to the WSL before they’ll get there. Completely and utterly broken this lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, They may make it out to be about "sportswashing" but it's the last few words in that sentence that confirms what really irks them, "make it the the WSL before us" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Bit of a test of fortitude for them today after a mauling (no disgrace but a mauling) in the cup; tough home tie in what looks like apocalyptic weather conditions with a couple of new faces on the bench maybe. Might not be an easy one. Anyone heading up? Edited January 21 by OpenC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) New keeper about the same height as Grace Donnelly right enough. The reserve (Hannah Reid? Can't remember) definitely the tallest of the three but never gets a look. Edited January 21 by OpenC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Boddy must still be struggling with that injury she's been nursing for a while, unless she's ill / otherwise unavailable. New signing Lumsden on the bench, as well as fairly new signing Gears, so that's like 3 attackers from the 5 subs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who wrote her Wiki but did it need explaining.... "Besides playing football, Dodds also works as a singer, performing as 'Tyler Swift' after pop singer Taylor Swift."

OpenC Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Under some uncharacteristic pressure here, been struggling to get it up the field. I think the wind is playing a part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 3,361 there today. Forest had a really good spell there for about 5 mins, had about 3 corners, hit the bar, and a lot of pressure. You obviously want them to win, but at the same time, it is quite nice to see an actual competitive match, instead of it mainly just being a case of how many they'll win by.

toontownman Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Absolutely let Forest control the game the last 15 minutes. Comedy of errors at the back. Again surprised we are bringing in another striker ahead of better defenders of a quality DM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
