Lillehamring Posted 18 December 2023 Share Posted 18 December 2023 2 hours ago, The Doctor said: At essentially the half way point: 2021/22: F14 A53 2022/23: F15 A48 2023/24: F15 A21 (extrapolated to a full 22 game season F33 A46). Big thing is Kirk has massively fixed our attack. Near enough half way through the season and we've already got as many goals as in either of the last two seasons. Defence still plodding along as is. It's not as bad as some are making out but what is obvious is how inexperienced this team are at actually taking leads and so managing them. We've dropped 8 points from winning positions (1-0 v man Utd, spurs and west ham and drew, 2-0 up v arsenal and lost, and v Brighton and drew) - had we seen those out we'd be 4th on GD and 1 point off arsenal in third. That said, we've taken the lead in 7 games this season, only 13 across the previous two seasons combined. But haven't we just signed better players? Can he be credited for the improvement or was it just a result of improving the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the top few teams, the quality really is rather poor. Probably why the crowds are (generally) still very small and not attracting too many of the typical mens team fans. The FA or whoever has been in charge should have adopted rules to prevent a few teams hogging all the best players early on, so whats happened is inevitable.

Still maintain Kirk is slow to react with subs etc but he had limited options today with a very young bench. Janina is very good in goal but her footwork and distribution needs work. Again we've not stopped the cross and it's cost 2 points, need O'brien back and hopefully the Japanese girl can add some quality too. Got to be the lowest crowd of the season today, was bloody freezing though. We missed Howard for those last 20 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tbf we did see it start last season, 2 goals under Bedford (one an own goal), 13 under Kirk after he took charge roughly halfway through the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLittleBigMan Posted 19 December 2023 Share Posted 19 December 2023 For those who don't go based on the football being poor it's not like there hasn't been years of watching poor football from the men's team over the years. The club are offering ridiculously cheap ticket at about £8 a match and £40 odd for a season ticket. I wouldn't disagree with quality issues last season but this year we have made some good quality signings with more in the pipeline. Some of the sloppy mistakes can be ironed out of this team and outside of the top teams they really aren't far away from being a consistent team that are pretty good to watch. Stop being football snobs and chuck £8 out your wallets and give it go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember there is still the travel expenses etc. Target the market who cant afford to go to the mens game. If you think £8 is nothing then whats the harm in charging £8 less, its nothing right?

Have you asked them that? Its business 101, to get people through the doors, make it as cheap as possible, the mens game doesnt need it as its an already built brand, but clearly £8 is too much given the attendance levels. If we ever do it make it free and the attendance doesnt go up then I will accept your point. We had almost 2 years of shit football under Rodgers, yet people kept going.

Popular Post SK3Blue Posted 19 December 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 19 December 2023 I have a season ticket, cost £42 for 11 games, drive a 50 mile round trip for home games, went up for the Liverpool away game along with about 30 others. I enjoy it, having got tired of paying £35/40 to watch dire Football under Rodgers with the mens team. Some of the comments on Twitter or Facebook are negative, would love to see some of the guys making comments raise a team to play them, they would get absolutely hammered, these girls are good players. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCJoe96 Posted 21 December 2023 Author Share Posted 21 December 2023 Conti Cup game against Everton moved to the Pirelli. Got half a chance of getting out the group as one of the best runners up (Spurs group pretty much guaranteed one of those slots) if a few results going our way. Need to beat Everton in 90 with Man United beating Man City, Villa beating Sunderland and then it’d come down to goal difference with the group E team assuming the expected results happen there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
