I'd agree with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepSouthFOX Posted 19 November 2023 Share Posted 19 November 2023 Should have had a pen first half…typical “big club” bias. But I felt we earned the point and a really positive outcome after last week. Well done ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 19 November 2023 Share Posted 19 November 2023 (edited) Developing nicely, last season we scored 15 goals in 22 games at 0.68 per game. This season we have scored 10 in 7 that's 1.42 per game. Last season we conceded 48 goals 2.18 goals per game, this season 1.87 so far. A bit more defensive reinforcement and we will have a good side. Fun to watch too. Last season was such a drag early on.

SK3Blue Posted 19 November 2023 Share Posted 19 November 2023 Leitzig was tremendous again. Unfortunately Petermann is struggling and needs someone alongside her, maybe it's Denny Draper who came on as a late sub but need to get someone closer to her up top. Still lack a solid DM, Tierney gets through a lot of work, not been convinced with Thibaud, Whelan or Rantala so far but Cayman is showing her experience and looks a solid signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That finish would probably have won the goal of the season, absolute beauty, bending it into the top corner, effortlessly. We need to be looking to shoot from outside the box and bending the ball into the top corners is the way to go. If there is one aspect of goalkeeping in the women's game that is weak, it is the inability for keepers to get across their goal to anything placed high into the corners of their goal, we need to exploit this, with talents such as Rantala.

Think Rantala has been solid. Good engine and aggressive, oh and she has a pretty good strike on her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon_dog Posted 22 November 2023 Share Posted 22 November 2023 Bit disappointed with the attendances at our home games, only averaging around 2000. Although a decent crowd for the Arsenal game. One would have thought that for the price of match tickets many more people would be coming to support them. Don't know whether it's last seasons results that have had an effect. We are a different team this season and are playing some decent football, the exception being the second half against Arsenal! For anyone that has never bothered to attend I suggest you come and see a match, it's a good friendly atmosphere and some reasonable football played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there’d be a kick-on after the Lionesses game, but there hasn’t been at all. The attendance against Arsenal was decent, but it was because of the amount of away fans!

We have laboured in this league for three seasons, we lack the names that your Arsenal and Chelsea carry and very much interlopers in this division. There is scope to build a team to be giving the big clubs a good game, we just need to assemble a team where we are discerning in what we do.

TeamRocket Posted 22 November 2023 Share Posted 22 November 2023 Is it hard to get ticket for the women's game? I plan to go to one when am back in Leicester for a few days would go to men's game to but I know ain't ever getting ticker for them, with all the points and Co system they have. (Miss the days you can turn up and get tickets) so was wondering if it the same for the women's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the games I've seen they do tire badly in the second half. Perhaps their fitness levels aren't yet what they could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The depth is not quite there and sometimes players are kept on longer than they should be. The conditioning level needs to be right up there, it probably is not where it should be at the moment.
