Most of the goals she conceded wasn't her fault; just combination of bad defence/strong attack. Wynne was injured in pre-season & didn't even get to play a single game! Don't think I recalled Bryson ever having a bad game. Was very vital in a few games. One problem with women's football is how short the contracts can be, or how easy they can not be fulfilled by clauses, etc. Would be common across all sports for players to leave a relegated team to join a new one in the league they just played in. Interesting regarding the players that joined Liverpool from City - they may have enjoyed working with Matt Beard & vice versa. However what was surprising was yesterday when Laura Rafferty, on loan at City last season & who was released by Brighton, has decided to step down to the Women's National League to rejoin her former club Southampton (where she is from originally, despite being a Northern Ireland international) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Bristol City is a football club. It fields multiple teams across multiple competitions. Men's and Women's first teams, then numerous age group teams. The men's first XI may be the most prominent part of the club, but it's not the only part. It's a club, literally a group of people joined by a common interest - in this case football. You can ignore the women's team - I largely do. However, from time to time they will be more relevant in the news than the men's. I believe they played today and so I assume they are lead story today. That's fine, the men's team was the lead yesterday. It's a club, all are welcome, there's multiple teams and they all get covered in the same football section of the site. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I thought no20 was Gareth Bale initially. Aint nobody like Fran Bentley…..great name for our keeper. And an S.Murray too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Anyone who buys a matchday ticket is now entered into a prize draw to win a behind-the-scenes tour at the RHPC! I can't enter as I'm a City Women season card holder, so don't need to buy a ticket. For those buying tickets, this is more of an incentive! https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/visit-the-high-performance-centre-this-weekend/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
