A win this afternoon, please!

Nobbs injured?

[stozo]

No Boddy either. Guessing injured too, which is a shame as I always think we look miles better with her playing.

Potts still injured also?

[Joe_F]

Get in

[maybe_next_year]

0-1 up, Murphy from a corner. Great start to the season. 

[Bimpy474]

Feckin hell, we just smashed the bar there like.

 

0-2 now, get in.

[maybe_next_year]

Kelly off the bar, almost 2. 

 

and now it is 2. We're looking really good at times with the ball. 

[54]

2-0, Pike finishing a lovely move.

[belly fat]

The app suggests the lasses are playing 4-4-2. Am I blind thinking they're playing 5-3-2?

 

Either way, two up!

 

[healthyaddiction]

I don't watch the women's team a lot, but our left winger has a great cross on her.

Their website says 3-4-3 but it seems quite fluid. Both our wingers seem to be dropping back to help out.

Great move again, nearly 3. Killing Forest with balls inside their full backs.

[Cclay]

I can see this passing around / out from defence being exciting for both good and bad reasons this year. Forest are passing it well and Rose is a constant threat, but when we string together a few quick passes you fear for them. As the commentator said, 'quick transition'.

2-1, pretty poor from the corner that.

[toontownman]

Tough watch so far but its still pre-season legs. We love a pass back to the keeper. Moan must have had

more touches than the rest of the team. Gregory has done well. Have to keep battling here.

[captainhaircut]

First time watching. How did Hayles score so many last year? She can barely move. 

[stozo]

Probably a touch harsh to say after winning our first game of the season but that reinforced my fears that we haven't done enough this summer. First half we were strong but didn't take our chances and then we lost control of the game in the second half. It felt very, very similar to last season in that we played well in spells but ultimately weren't dominant. And obviously Forest are one of the newly promoted teams, not a Birmingham/Charlton/Palace/Durham who I suspect will be the real contenders this season. 

[LionOfGosforth]

Good win, second half was a rough watch 

[toontownman]

Hard earned win. Will take it. Hope everyone can sharpen up. Some of the control and lack of movement, marking was pure shocking today. Some bright spots too though.

[54]

Solid if unspectacular win that. After they scored, we basically shut the game down and managed the rest of the game really well. They didn't have a chance. 

 

Solid start

[JT24]

A win is a win!

She is definately slow, but accurate and a good turner in the box. I'm surprised she passed it, as well. She usually shoots. We tried our hardest to give them a draw in the second half.
