Worlds apart really.

They started off with no confidence, which just invited pressure, and got them off to a pretty bad start.

Absolute horrific refereeing though.

But ultimately, they are worlds apart, and the new lasses are the worst performers.

They were a class apart but losing both our centre backs Potts and Cooper before hand obviously didn't help. Great crowd for a cup match and the crowd kept going. Liverpool apparently gave free tickets and coach travel for season ticket holders which meant the biggest away support I've seen at Kingston Park. Amber Stobbs yet again the best player by a mile when she came on.

The Blackburn match has been changed from Sunday 15th December to the Saturday and now clashes with the men playing Leicester. What a crazy, stupid decision. Having 2 teams playing at the same time is ridiculous. 

I think the falcons have a cup game on the Sunday.

To be honest though, it happens all the time in the WSL, even for cup finals, which is ridiculous!!

Personally, I felt that the summer recruitment was rather surprising. It feels like they have gone for bigger name statement signings, that may be shorter term, than trying to build the foundations of a competitive squad for seasons to come. As mentioned above, the strategy may have been to try to win the Championship, then bring in an entirely new team again. I think that would be a rather short-sighted approach, and hopefully the realisation hits home by the end of the season.

 

I was shocked that Newcastle did not look to take advantage of the Scottish SWPL. Not just being geographically well-placed to attract players from here, but also having the financial power to just take the best of the current crop, along with picking up a few younger prospects. There are some great players up here that need to be playing at a higher level and would thrive in the Championship.

But they have the same vision: 'Newcastle give the ball away in their own area to present Boro with the first chance of the game, but Mett can't squeeze the ball home from a tight angle.'
