[Albion] Albion Women

[Change at Barnham]

A home game against Villa next Saturday at 12.30.

 

[Si Gull]

The 2nd half was pretty much all City.

Albion Women did well to keep it to just a single goal defeat due to some profligate City finishing.

Easy games to come for sure.

Yes, some nice passages of play from Albion but they lost possession too easily, too many times, and were fortunate to get away with 1-0. Still, as you say, there will be easier games to come.

True. Some good intentions, but the difference in class between the teams after the break was quite evident.

Albion never laid a glove on them 2nd half. That was a bit disappointing, especially as they needed just the one goal for a great result.

Let's remember this is their 2nd game of the season playing a new style with a significant number of players. They will take time to gel until they are more competitive against the best sides. Progress from last season is clear, it will only get better.

 

[amexer]

That was a pity. Not the result After competing well in 1st half were never in it in 2nd half

 

[Shaktarman]

Huge step up everywhere from last season - particularly in defence. Great to see.

 

[Taybha]

Enjoyed watching that,really impressed with the whole team,not just Dottie marked improvements all over the place,commentary suggesting City missed a hat full of chances was rubbish,we defended those chances superbly.

 

[The Mole]

A very enjoyable outing - my first women’s game. I think it was a creditable performance against a very strong team. I was impressed with Pattinson in the first half - she defended well and most of our best moves went through her.
we weren’t really in it in the second half - I can’t remember us having a shot.
I hope we get a proper ground for the women in Brighton.

Proper game this. Villa look threatening but took the lead with a gift. Two great attacks by Albion to take the lead.

Storming full debut for Parris

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Missed the first goal, as forgot it was on youtube. Look a lot more crisp with the passing this year, which causes it's own problems with some not quite on the same wavelength!

2-1 at halftime

[Is it PotG?]

Hold on this time

 

[Ethelwulf]

3-2

Would like to see it back but Villa down to 10 for an elbow and a Kirby pen makes it 3-2. It's definitely a little shaky at the back but I really like the way Dario has them playing

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Villa players shithousing. Who saw that coming?

Was just typing about how unbelievably composed Kirby has looked this half and she seems to have done her groin. Bugger.

Strike!
