Hamdon Mart Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I'm not 100% sure why they've moved to Bath this season but one reason might have been the re-introduction of supporters at matches.

Erithacus Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Shocking news that the two teams have taken the decision to apply the boot at this time. If they were men's teams it might be seen in a more predictable light, but the WSL is not that kind of environment - up to now, that is! Beard has a history of success with Liverpool not so long ago, so his departure is a bit more of a surprise. Clearly the pressure for achievment is growing more. Could these moves give City women a bit of encouragement? There are precious few points among the bottom clubs at the moment so the turmoil might be an advantage.

Baba Yaga Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Nice counter attack goal, seemed like Reading had the rest of the opportunities though. When you're down the bottom that's a very good point. Against Spurs in the game before they scored twice and had some other chances too so I think that was the best performance so far from what I have seen. They haven't won a home league game for 2 seasons but if they beat Villa then they will start looking capable of staying up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 A bad scoreline and home to West Ham on Sunday. Pressure is really on now. Maybe Mr Lansdown's recent cashing in of some shares will be put to good use? Hopes circulating that fans will be allowed back in (to Twerton) for Brighton game on January 10th.

Baba Yaga Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I'm looking to see how long it takes to get a home win because the one time I went to watch them play was the last time they won at home in the wsl, sad to say it was about 11-12 months before lockdown begun so they were struggling massively even before fans left. One stat I look at which I think is more important in women's football is goals scored, villa had scored 3 before tonight in 6 or so games so to get 4 in 90 minutes isn't good for City. Odds on to go down now but they need to move on quickly to another big game. Edited December 9, 2020 by Baba Yaga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The reality is woman’s football at this stage of its development is not a “ business proposition “, but for a club like City it is an opportunity to provide a platform to grow the game in the South West. Rather than invest in top players from who knows where I believe City would be better off to allow the team to be relegated to a level that they can compete in, and use what resources we have to produce our own players from local girls. We will never match Man City / Chelsea etc in this league but we can help grow the sport in the SW and in time begin to climb the women’s pyramid whilst providing professional standard access / facilities to the girls of our area.

Admin phantom Posted December 13, 2020 Admin Share Posted December 13, 2020 Losing 1-0 at half time at home to West Ham, attacking header was cleared off the line but stuck back of City player and went in off back of City player. City thought they'd equalised shortly after with a great finish from a cross from a free kick. City offer no threat up front sacrificing the second striker for a player to sit infront of the defence. Game has got very niggly in final ten minutes of the half, with a couple of City players needlessly lashing out at opponents.

Admin phantom Posted December 13, 2020 Admin Share Posted December 13, 2020 Well that got progressively worse. A long aimless clearance by West Ham was well kept in, an early cross was put into the box, with the City defender sleeping the West ham striker got across her and finished smartly. Oxtoby finally recognised that City needed a second striker bringing on Salmon to replace the ineffective Humphrey (Carla is an enigma, she runs around alot but rarely touches the ball for a centre midfielder) The next attack Baggaley made a great save, but rather than putting the ball out and regrouping the defender oddly played the ball out wide, the West ham player whipped the ball straight back in giving a free header from a matter of yards out to make it 0-3. Near the end another long ball caught City asleep, Baggaley made a save when West ham really should have scored, the ball was hacked away only for a West ham player to dribble unchallenged around the city midfield before setting up her team mate for a simple finish (0-4). It was really odd how often City should put the ball out when in danger but they created numerous problems keeping the ball alive. One personally annoying thing from watching and playing football you learn about movement off the ball, watching City today their decision making on numerous occasions was very poor For me I'm not sure what happens now, the squad is clearly a long way of the other sides in their league, yes there are a handful of quality player's but too many aren't good enough. So removing Oxtoby maybe isn't the natural answer. But on the basis she's pregnant, I think she should step aside. Perhaps someone else can get something out of this squad as many simple things are done badly. Short of the unlikely chance City get promotion form they're going to finish rock bottom and well adrift of everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Sounds like the heart has gone out of the side, as the results are certainly not the sort that will give any hope. After nine games: 5 goals for, 39 against, 2 points. It feels like the season Dave Edmunson took over after half the players left; that was a relegation from the start. Oddly the Conti Cup results are far better, but that won't be much of a consolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Sorry but I don’t think it’s just the coach. Other clubs have invested heavily in players and it’s becoming clear that SL doesn’t really want Bristol Sport to spend anything much on the women’s game.

Admin phantom Posted December 20, 2020 Admin Share Posted December 20, 2020 Currently playing at table topping Manchester United. Much better performance so far and maybe a bit unlucky to be 2-0 at half time. First goal was a thunderbolt nobody is saving and the second on halftime was poor marking from a corner. A couple of players returning to the City starting line up definitely making an improvement. If they had played like this the past two home games we might have gotten something out of those games. I understand why we set up defensively but Salmon really needs support up front. One thing that really pisses me off about women's football is the need for them to wear makeup whilst playing, you'd think some of the United players are going straight on a night out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
