Molly pike has announced her retirement at season end too.

 

Has to be BIG changes to the squad and no more buying cheap random back up players. We need starters that are capable of being capable starters in the league above.

 

 

Seems like the wrong moment to say this given her decision but she always seemed like the perfect example of what has gone wrong. She's started most games for us this year and I honestly couldn't tell you what she brings to the team, distinctly average with no real up sides to her game. One of many players brought in without moving us forward. 

 

Still surprised to see her go from WSL2 to retiring at just 25.

Apparently she’s wanting to retire due to personal reason.

Maybe she’s wanting to start a family?

Makes sense - her drop off this year was massive. 
 

Hopefully a few more follow her and Pike out the door.

We really needed to tackle the too few goals, too little creation of goal chances (especially through the middle), too few creative players (who are also competitive markers) last season. It led, again, to too many draws. I know this is known, as Oxtoby has talked about it. We'll see what the Summer brings, I suppose.

Missed this.  She was the bedrock of those two promotion seasons like, absolute monster centre half.  Calm as fuck and as reliable as you could ever hope for.  Imperious is the only word.  Will never forget her wiping out that showboating Manchester United forward when they biffed us in the FA Cup. 

 

Respect, Pottsy :icon_salut:

Can't say there are any massive surprises there. Given Moan was WSL2 player of the season the year before she joined, I can't see her wanting to be 2nd choice goalie. 

 

Shania Hayles was decent but if there was one area I feel would push us to the next level, it would be getting a top quality striker. Fingers crossed we'll get one this summer. 

 

What a waste of time signing Charley was, can't remember ever seeing her play (Did she come on as a sub once?) .
