Is this a tea break like in cricket?

The speed with which all the Birmingham players went straight over the sidelines suggest to me that their keeper was doing a Pope so their manager could speak to them. Seems to have worked, they've been noticeably better since the stoppage.

Yes, they sure have.

Top class shithousing Jas McQuade at the end there

[Smal]

a half of two... halves. Dominated the first 25 but been poor since. 

[Smal]

should be a few down by now. Birmingham well on top. 

[OpenC]

Aye, we're under the cosh like. Their shooting has been pretty wild though.

[OpenC]

If this finishes 0-1 it will be one of the greatest feats in the history of football

[OpenC]

Get the fuck in, brilliant

[Joe_F]

Robbery 🤣 

[et tu brute]

Two nowt 

[maybe_next_year]

0-2, couldn't be any more against the run of play this half.   

[OpenC]

Nearly 3, opening up now

[iklgizmo]

The game management the last 10 minutes has been so poor! 3 corners in a row, all still put into the box rather than trying to maintain possession. 3 or 4 opportunities to take it to the corner, yet we've just bombed forward and lost possession.

Given the way the charlton game ended, seems like a weird way to play.

 

Anyway, huge win, onwards and upwards!

[Smal]

massive win that like!

[OpenC]

Disgusting result I'll take it, well played lasses

[Iwantcurlyhair2]

Cracking result. Bit like us dropping points against Durham and Charlton 

 

This league will go to the wire

 

Any team that put 3-4 wins together will be very difficult to catch. Hope the luck lasts

[et tu brute]

Hopefully keep were we are (or better) going into January. Then add some higher quality and I see no reason why we can't make it three promotions in a row. We should really be top and have played all the top teams apart from Southampton 

[OpenC]

Aye no reason they shouldn't be there or thereabouts, they don't look out of place at the top at all.

[iklgizmo]

I reckon LCL are favourites at the moment, they have unlimited funds too, and already have some fantastic WSL standard players!

3 points separating the top teams is madness, such a competitive league!!

[et tu brute]

We have 5 decent games coming up against mid table and below. Need to make it count

Beating who is thought would run away with it stands us in good stead, money surely comes once you’re in the super league too?

It’s not really about the money in the short/medium term in the women’s game. There is no FFP so we can spend what we want, but obviously that has the ‘downside’ that if we invest to succeed then the women’s team will lose money at the rate spend. Women’s teams are also seperate from men’s FFP calculations so in effect with our ownership it’s really a question of spending as much as we fancy. 

[PopeandGlory]

At least if we’re promoted we can sell the Women’s team to ourself for £80m rather than Isak to Arsenal.

 

Another year sorted. Just need to build a hotel now for 2025/26.
