Bristol City Women

Congratulations to the team and staff. Have to say I was not predicting a cup final appearance this season, but here we are - off to Vicarage Road and up against Chelsea! Hopefully this will rejunenate the league form and retain the top flight status. Despite the odd noises coming from Bristol Sport, we may still have a women's team worthy of proper support.

To be fair,it doesn't look overly promising for City,but they do seem to have picked up a bit of form,and stranger things,and all of that.I will definitely watch it if I can,and hopefully the City women give a good account of themselves even if they can't nick a result.

Off to a good start in a 'season-defining' game. Must keep the advantage now. Could this be the turning point? Has Beard got some extra incentive today?

With Villa's win yesterday and Brighton currently holding 1-1 against Chelsea this is a vital result.

I'd say the turning point was the day Beard walked into the club.

Much better results and visibly better performances ever since

The obvious inference is that Oxtoby is yesterday's news, sadly. That indeed might be a bit of sticky situation come the end of the season. But for the time being it's a case of getting away from the trapdoor.

She should have been sacked months ago. Whatever our budget is compared to others there are no excuses for all the defeats and particularly the absolute hammering we got

You try doing her job on her budget compared to the other teams in the league.

Looks like Brighton have won at Chelsea 

Stunning result! Chelsea's unbeaten record for over 30 games is brought to a sudden halt. Shows how volatile the WSL can be and makes City's result even more important.

Game ends 1-1. Really just not enough to rise above the Hammers in the table. Encouraging to read the stats are not one-sided at all today, though.

After some surprise WSL results recently it becomes even more imperative for Wednesday's game against Spurs. Must win game, again.

Right.

Game v Chelsea from Twerton is live at 3pm. It'll be a better watch than yesterday.

I don't expect anything other than a bit of a shoeing, but they'll put up more effort than the men did yesterday, and probably look like they know what they're trying to do. Up the City.

Any chance of a second 6 goal defeat in two days for the Bristol sport empire

The WSL set up is too variable. It's like having Prem quality teams competing with League 2 teams. The League 2 teams are doing well not to get battered 6-0.

I think the City Women will be closer to Chelsea than we were to Watford. And it won't cost a tenner to watch. Rumours that Brian Tinnion will be making a cameo in the colour commentator's role are unfounded.

No doubt Wael will be there showing off his watch to his Chelsea mates ?

Looking that way, 5-0 (after 70 mins). Don't think they were realistically expecting anything out of the Chelsea game though.

Got to focus on the mini league v West Ham and Aston Villa to try to stay up.

Currently 5-0 down..... I wonder what the double was? Both teams to lose 6-0 this weekend ?

It finished that way. I don't think 10-0 would've flattered Chelsea. City had a shot in the first half - it was difficult to tell whether it was on target. I think that was it.

Looking forward to England's game tomorrow against Northern Ireland this time tomorrow, not just because it's their first proper game in almost a year, but also because of Ebony Salmon. Will be interesting to see where she will fit in the matchday squad.

Looking at the training videos on the Lionesses' social media accounts, she seems to be settling in well!

Forgot to introduce myself, I'm Shahan, and have been a Bristol City fan since 2007/08, and a regular City Women fan since 2018/19. This season I became the new co-host of Bristol City Vixencast, a podcast all about Bristol City Women, currently in its second season (formerly known as Oxtoby Revolution).
Our latest episode (released a week ago) focuses on the Chelsea game, Loren Dykes' retirement and Ebony Salmon's call-up. I'd have posted a week ago but was waiting for my account to be authorised!

I'll be using OTIB more to help promote the podcast (as well as contribute to all things City men & women).
Please feel free to listen to the episode (as well as our non-canon interview specials we've done so far). Feedback & new listeners welcome!

Crazy to think it was today one year ago, with City's win at Birmingham, which not only ensured WSL survival that season, but was the last game the team played in front of fans (including myself)!

 

Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been meaning to give the Vixencast a listen and will do soon.

I suggested a while back that the OSIB lads give the City women at least a mention on their pod but no such luck, even re the cup final has been ignored afaik.

Keep posting the episode links to remind us.

So it seems City Women's next game against Reading on March 7th has not only moved to Ashton Gate, but pushed back to Monday March 8th for BT Sport coverage.

They haven't had a game on that channel for nearly two years & have two in a week (the other being the Conti Cup Final).

Bit annoying as I don't have BT Sport. Hopefully there'll be another way to watch the game (and hoping the final will at least be on BT Sport's YouTube)

Apart from being a vital opportunity to gather some points, it will be a chance to see some former Vixens, like Jess Fishlock, Haz James and Tash Harding. What we would give for some of their talents now. Reading have a good record this season but are not the most prolific of scorers.

Still, the game's under lights and on the box so fingers crossed for a result.

Can you tell me what time kick off and what channel please.Hopefully not another hopeless early start time!

Need to correct my earlier post: Haz James has recently left Reading to go Stateside, so no chance of seeing her. However, it remains a test for the City girls and a point tonight would be seen as a point gained.

And who wants to look at the West Ham-Leeds game anyway?
