Saint_clark Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) 4 points off top with two games left - although if Palace win their game it's 6 points. Pretty sure it's mathematically impossible to go up now as Sunderland and palace play each other on the final day. One promotion spot, once again the women's game has some bullshit rules around promotion and relegation. Should be a playoff between 2nd and 5th at least.

Dr Who? Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 The whole women’s structure is taking time to filter through, but it is getting there. Frustratingly there are 1 place each for the northern national and southern national now rather than a play off for the 2 winners for one place. Felt sorry for Wolves a couple of years ago. Should be playoffs as well in the championship, and the northern & southern national league. But as I say it will get there. Pompey are coming up with Newcastle, so we get a derby, but Newcastle I feel will steamroller into the Super League. But fair play in our second season only being a couple/3 wins off. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand the WSL to a few more teams, and boost the Championship too, for professional setups there aren't actually very many games across the season, and the pyramid as a whole would improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Bates Statue Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I think it might not be the worst thing to allow Saints to consolidate in this division. Reading were the most recent team to get relegated from the WSL and they were way off the pace, as are Bristol City this season. Until the worst team in the WSL can get closer to the rest of their peers, I can see the argument for not expanding the promotion/relegation slots just yet.

I imagine she'll be off next season to a WSL team, along with Pike. If the men's team don't get promoted we might find the two teams in the same position where the obvious top players are picked off and we're left rebuilding again.

Well deserved call up, it was obvious last season that she has the ability to play in the WSL. Hopefully it's with Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Pretty straightforward game - ref was in the right job with the demeanour of the kid no one liked at school. 😁. Just a shame this is a one team up league 2nd place play off against 2nd bottom of the WSL would add some spice because the Championship could get stagnant with more good teams in it.
