old_eastender Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 HT 1-0 BHA. What Jones was thinking even risking losing possession near to our box is beyond me, let alone when the pressing player is their most likely scorer. Simply dreadful. Overall a game of much endeavour by both sides, but precious little quality. Harrison does not seem fully fit to me, tbh has not ever since she came back from the early season injury.

Full nelson Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Just now, When the river runs said: Hopefully stay up this season as the championship is looking more and more competitive. I could see it being hard to return looking at some of the other clubs there now. Good for the womens game though No goalscorer, unable to keep clean sheets. That trend tends to end up in relegation, hope I'm wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Clinton strikes again! Now 3-1 to Spurs - hopefully they can notch a few more and that will put the Hammers below us on GD.

Can’t see why Clark deserved to be dropped tbh I thought Yanez had a good game (as did former City goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley, who of course is at Brighton now). Clark wasn't dropped, she had a collision at the last time & got replaced by Benedicte Haaland (who has since joined Southampton, as announced today).

shahanshahan Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Sunday was my first time at Crawley since the final day of the 2013/14 season where City men draw 1-1 with Crawley Town but all the away fans were celebrating the Gas being relegated out of the Football League. Nearly ten years later; and pretty much sat in the same block as I was back then; a great away day was ruined by Brighton getting their first home win since May 2023, and former City academy product Katie Robinson getting her first goal of the season. A lot of the fans were following the West Ham v Tottenham match on the journey back.
