shahanshahan Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Aimee Palmer was the featured guest on last night's Sound of the City with Geoff Twentyman. Decent interview that lasted the first half of the show, and there was also a shout out for the coach arranged for supporters to attend the away game at Charlton at the end of the month, which I'm pleased about... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0d2nnf1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rilex Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 This may be a silly question, but I thought it the best place to ask, how does the season ticket card work? Do I just show the card instead of a printed ticket, when entering hpc? And is that the same for games at Ashton gate or is there something different?

Erithacus Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Season cards are normally checked visually at the HPC by a steward at the entrance. Games at AG will require the owner to obtain a ticket (at no extra cost for League/Conti group games) beforehand. Card holders will naturally have the pick of the best Lansdown seats - ones with padding! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samarkand999 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 First time watching the women's at the HPC (watched 1 at AG last season). Really enjoyed it. Lots of skill, solid commitment and we looked fantastic. Should certainly have been more. We hit the bar, had 2 disallowed, saw 3 point blank saves and had an unbelievable goal-line clearance just before HT. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Another quality performance by the girls! Really impressed with the dynamic way the team transitions from defence to attack. At the heart of that is Aimee Palmer, who was instrumental in most of City's work today. When the opposition run out of ideas, she will be closest to the back line and demanding the ball off them. Once in possession it's either laid off quickly of she will use the space to push up the field. The front players know that and are looking for a killer ball. Those front players have all the talent, pace and hunger to get a shot away most of the time. Emma Symes was a key midfielder tidying up loose passes and springing forward - and hit another sweet strike from the edge of the box low into the corner. It was a constant theme today that Palace were unable to make much progress and City were going forward in waves. Hayles is beginning to shine, holding up the ball or bursting into the box, causing headaches for the defenders. Harrison is clearly a level above and can operate in several roles. Out wide, Morgan's pace worries everyone and that helps to stretch the back line across the pitch. These players are difficult to deal with, and opponents have to be worried. Defensively, City were not really pressured much, as we had a big advantage with possession. However, when needs arose Naomi Layzell was superb in cutting out movements and making some crunching tackles. I am beginning to liken her to Leah Williamson in that she has a calmness about her, going about her job smoothly. Quite a talent at only 18 years old. The score does not really do justice to the domination. I lost count of the number of times we had a clear shot and invariably hit Palace keeper Kitching squarely. Had she not had a charmer of a game the score might well have hit double figures. Palmer also smacked the bar with a free-kick from outside the box. All in all, another very impressive display by a side that has all the ingredients and is sitting on top of the league thus far. Good to see over 600 at the HPC despite the wet weather too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Really disappointing to lose the unbeaten run today. For the first half hour or so we were all over Brum and dictating the play. Every loose ball or 50-50 went our way and we kept the pressure on. It just needed a goal when on top to secure things but the chances were a touch scarce. Gradually, Birmingham got into the game and started to close down a lot of movement. Give them credit but they slowly squeezed us out. We started the second half started like we finished the first - on the back foot. Whilst trying to move upfield we were caught by a ball wide when Cataldo and Powell were out of position. In fairness it was a good sweeping move that got us at the far post. Sadly, we didn't really have the neccessary to respond immediately. After 67 minutes we took off Layzell (injured?) and Palmer (who was fading from the game), which seemed a little risky at the time. Hayles was also taken off again - hope that injury will go away. However, we managed to get some momentum as the time ran out. Two strikes against the woodwork and a couple of scrambles in the Birmingham box were the limit today. Disappointing for the 3,000 in attendance; we now have four wins from four at the HPC, but only one point from two games at the Gate. Saw a few players (especially Harrison) who looked lame at the end. She had a strange game, starting up front then dropping into the middle when Palmer went off and occasionally turning up at right back. Hopefully the injured will be fit for the trip to Charlton in the Conti next Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
