Reguarding some previous posts:

 

I agree that our forward line will not have it all it's own way. As I said in an earlier post, the further up the pyramid you go, the better defences are (in terms of players and organisation). That ,obviously, makes forward's jobs far more difficult. That is true, as well, in the men's game. We seem to be recruiting players who CAN win the league we are in if things go well. That is not to say they will win it. The other alternative is to pay through the nose for 'mercenaries', who are willing to drop down the leagues for money (assuming it's not love of the team / project). Again, as with the men's game, this can go badly wrong, given the potential personalities of such players. Where we have recruited players from higher leagues, which we have each promotion, we look to have tried to avoid this and the impact it would have on a, seemingly, well-jelled bunch. That's not to say there is no disgruntlement among the players who've been dropped. There, inevitably, will be. Football is a vicious game. Being an (ex)-teacher, I've seen my fill of kids being dropped in a instant, with a brief meeting to tell them the 'bad' news. Very few have 'made it'. We seem to want to keep at least a hint of a upwardly functional set-up though. As it's worked so far, fine. I'm sure it will change if it stops working.

Got mine too! 

[LFEE]

Will get one also if available.

 

Question. If I’m a male team ST holder does that put me in the same category as Mags Member or just general sale?

I wonder what the record attendance is at that level ? Can see it being set then, then broke again for the return if at SJP.

Sunderland don’t seem to have sold all that many so far. Likely still a record, but no prospect of the SOL being a sellout.

I’m very surprised they have allowed away fans to be honest.

We've only been given a ticket allocation of around 1800 it seems.

[Cclay]

... or not ...

[Cclay]

As far as I understand it, they can stream a set amount of games (4 I think), apart from the ones the league streams. They have done one so far. I don't know if this counts (probably not) and I can see either them or the league doing one, at least, of the Sunderland games.

Surprised at that. Maybe they're worried?

Kelly back in the squad tonight.

[OpenC]

Not sure what to make of the team, a lot of unknown quantities in there playing together. We'll see

What a goal by Demi Stokes! 
 

1-0

[iklgizmo]

1 nil up, Demi Stokes!!!! 

[Iwantcurlyhair2]

Another great performance up to now. Some great passing moves. Amber Keegan stobbs running the show and the defence as strong as ever. Could be our greatest result. Hopefully more of the same second half and I haven't jinxed it. 

[toontownman]

Tuned in for the second half. Everton equalized. Tuning back out. 

 

Sorry folks. My bad.

[Guest]

haha their GK has been off the line for each penalty so far

[Paullow]

Drew 1-1 after 90 mins, so gained a point, but Everton won the shootout 3-0, so they get 2 points. 

[Tsunami]

You’ll do very well to find 4 worse penalties.

[NE27]

Not sure I rate the backup keeper we have in mind.

 

She seems to just take a guess at which way to dive and that's that, almost performative if that makes sense?

 

Overall they played well against wsl opposition but still a small way off that level.

Yeah they were bad, there was just no real power in any of them, and since 3 of them were aimed fairly central at goal, it’s a real risk that they get saved.
