shahanshahan Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Don't usually pay much attention to comments by the manager/head coach of upcoming opposition, but it was interesting to see what Gareth Taylor had to say about Bristol City. https://www.mancity.com/news/womens/gareth-taylor-bristol-city-continental-cup-team-news-63778113 City head into the midweek clash in excellent form, having won our last five on the bounce. Although his side hold home advantage against Championship opposition, Taylor expects no drop in standards against last season’s finalists, with City setting sights on a fourth success in the competition. “We’ve monitored them and kept an eye,” he continued. “They had a good win at the weekend and are in a false position in their league." [I assume he means he expects the team to be higher up] “They’ve got good physicality in their team, won their group in Conti Cup qualification so they’re certainly not a team to be underestimated and we won’t be doing that. They’re still full-time and obviously going to be there or thereabouts. There’s not a huge gap. They were in the league last season, they got to a final which nobody would have predicted. “I know there’s been a lot of changes but like I say: they’re a very aggressive team. We expect it to be a really tough game. “[Bristol manager Lauren Smith] has adapted well to it. Sometimes when you make a lot of changes you never know how it’ll go – sometimes you might get short term but sometimes you have to wait longer. “They’re aggressive, they take the game to teams. We studied that against Reading when they played them in the cup. Albeit teams change in the cup, they’ll provide a tough opposition and there’s a reason they’re in the quarter-finals." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked very leggy today….wonder whether chasing the ball around for 90 mins v Man City in midweek in the cup, took it out of us. Murray is normally a rock yet she made 3 or 4 mistakes first half. Charlton by far the better side, physical, strong runners, and it felt a bit women v girls…not forgetting how young our side is.

Erithacus Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Have to say the better team won this afternoon. Charlton looked a touch sharper, faster, keener and were more organised than City. It may well have been fatigue after the midweek game but there was a distinct lack of spark. I trust the injuries will be minor. Charlton seemed to have done their homework on us and strangled the movement from midfield to the front. When they got a chance they took it, whereas I don't recall their keeper having to do too much. It was good to see fans around the sides of the ground as well - shame that the big crowd didn't have much to cheer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
