Professor Posted 28 August, 2023 Share Posted 28 August, 2023 Brilliant game at Lewes in late summer sunshine, in front of 1,000 fans. The Dripping Pan a wonderful ground in the heart of the South Downs. When The Rooks went one up, it was game on. Fabulous result for Saints to win 4-1. The team looks extremely well organised. Big game at St Mary’s next week against Blackburn. The only other side to get a win yesterday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Mealings Posted 3 September, 2023 Share Posted 3 September, 2023 On 14/08/2023 at 09:57, Fabrice Fernandes no.1 fan said: Brilliant piece, really helpful guide that. I've always found the most frustrating thing about the women's coverage is that the club never posted the teamsheet in order of position, only every numerically, so you could never really tell who was doing what in games you didn't attend. Helpfully, they did post it positionally this weekend, and unhelpfully for you they played a back 5! They played Collett and Purfield as wing backs, with Mott tucked in as a third centre back (with Peake and Parnell). We then played Griffiths, Peplow and Kendall as a midfield three, with Wilkinson and LLS up top. Neither Dean or Kraft got on the pitch so not sure if they're still being integrated into the team Thanks Fabrice! I think I'm going to get a lot wrong about formations this season, especially at the start! So many new players and options. The Lewes set-up properly bamboozled me for a while, maybe even still.

Dr Who? Posted 17 September, 2023 Author Share Posted 17 September, 2023 (edited) Was not on it last weekend, but saw we lost to Sunderland at home, as I was running around near their home in South Shields. But a great response to that loss, unlike the mens team on Friday, the women pulled off the reverse of the men’s in a 1-4 away win at Reading! Fantastic result. Edited 17 September, 2023 by Dr Who?

852_Saint Posted 20 September, 2023 Share Posted 20 September, 2023 My dad got a men's team season ticket, I picked the women's team. I'm definitely getting the better deal. Went to Reading at the weekend and we absolutely played them off the park. Molly Pike looks a real talent. With a little more composed finishing she could have bagged 5 or 6. Cracking, unsavable pen from Wilko. Superb, solid defence from the whole back 4. The complete opposite of the men's team, even down to the mirrored result. Even with the ridiculous solo pormotion spot I feel we have a decent chnace of Super League football next season. COYR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsiem Posted 21 September, 2023 Share Posted 21 September, 2023 It's certainly great to be watching a team on the up! We have the defence to clinch promotion, attack probably needs to be a bit more clinical but it's improved since last season Only downer about the women's team is that they persist at playing at st Mary's. I get why, but for me sitting in a crowd of 1500-2000 people in a stadium designed to hold 32000 isn't a great experience compared to when they were playing at Totton. Hopefully we can grow it to c10k if we get to the top flight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to have got the recruitment right ever since we formed a team, we've constantly had a group of young players who are developing well under MSC's excellent coaching, and a few older players to keep thing steady. A few of this year's squad have WSL experience or international experience, so we are really kicking on. Pike is such a talent, a brilliant signing, and keeping hold of Kendall, Morris and Collett will keep this team going, they all could easily be WSL players, maybe not for the big teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsiem Posted 1 October, 2023 Share Posted 1 October, 2023 Lost 3-1 at home today to Birmingham, and frankly it could have been worse! We were fortunate to go into half time only one nil down. Birmingham should have had two pennos in the 1st half for handball. One was given but it was a crap effort and easily saved by Rendall. We also scored two OGs so certainly didn't help ourselves. Birmingham dominated first half but we were much better 2nd half, without really creating much in the way of opportunities to score. We were poor defensively today, which is not something you say often about the ladies team. Libbie Smith bullied the centre backs either by holding the ball up or by running in behind. Also there were a few balls over the top Rendall could have cleared up but she was reluctant to come for - hopefully she'll learn from today. Worth stating the Birmingham were top flight 18 months ago whilst we were in the third tier, but today shows we're not quite title contenders as a team yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 12 October, 2023 Share Posted 12 October, 2023 I had a quick look at the video of the Watford game on the OS. One thing that impressed me was the number of away fans, scattered all round the ground; a decent away following. Shame about the red for Millie Mott, but no histrionics argueing with the ref.

Saint_clark Posted 12 November, 2023 Share Posted 12 November, 2023 Promotion possibly a season too soon for the girls. In the women's game generally you can only afford to drop points in 3 or 4 games if you're going for promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to start doing that to capitalise on increased interest.

852_Saint Posted 18 November, 2023 Share Posted 18 November, 2023 Molly Pike again terrorising defences with excellent positioning, smart runs and superb control - but then scuffing her finishes. Reminds me of Lallana when he broke through! She scored 14 in 17 as a Chelsea youth player I was reading, so she can do it. If she can find her shooting boots now she'd be unstoppable. We have gone off the boil a bit, which given the stupid 1-up rule, means we may have already blown it, but a high finish will encourage continued investment and boost attendance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
