[Albion] Albion Women

[hans kraay fan club]

Thought it showed a lot of resilience at times today, thought Bremer was fantastic today. Bit of a ding dong game, but important to get the win, certainly seem to be marginally improving every game.

First of a BUMPER week of Brighton & Hove Albion action for me. Good to start it off with a win.

Meant to mention Bremer, she put in a real shift! Seemed to be constantly pressuring to win the ball back in Bristol's half, didn't make anything easy for them

She’s a very intelligent player, capable of taking the ball on the turn, making smart runs and playing the right ball at the right time.

We've signed a goalkeeper https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/3862551/melina-loeck-signs-for-albion

Hopefully this won't be the only signing this window!

Presumably this is just backup for Baggely?

Presume it's part of the club's strategy to sign as many goalkeepers as possible. We do seem to be hoarding them

Off to Charlton tomorrow to see the Women, Hopefully ease through to the next round of the League Cup

Hope its a good game and we win, though its slightly concerning that Phillips has said we are 'operating on a slightly thinner squad'! I was hoping that there would be some broadcast coverage but like with so many Conti cup matches so far I can't see it so the 'live blog' and twitter may be the only way to follow it. Lets hope they update those more than they usually do for the womens matches!

They often don’t update them for the men’s U21 and younger matches either!

I hadn't realised it was those too. Maybe they should team up with the universities to offer students doing media work experience running match feeds etc!

We end the ContiCup group stage with a 2-1 win over Charlton - it had to be Kayleigh Green who got their goal didn't it! Did make the final few minutes of refreshing a bit nervy. The BHAFC Twitter feed seemed to give up for the 2nd half pretty much, but at least there was a bit more on the website live blog

That win makes it 3 wins out of 3 in the group stages, and we are therefore through to the knockout stages

Incredibly dominant performance at Charlton, felt like if Terland was involved we’d have won that by 4 or 5. String of very good saves from the Charlton goalkeeper. Little bit nervy at the end but we could have scored three times immediately after their goal. I think it’s starting to look like the play is clicking and we are settled in a style. Bremer was really good again after I think finally settling and showing her quality, thought Maisie Symonds and Pinto dominated the middle tonight. Great to see some more minutes for Grace McEwan as well, good to see the investment in the youth setup starting to produce a few more prospects. 3 Wins on the Bounce, albeit in 3 different competitions but will be good for confidence.

Very Tidy Ground as well, but very non league.

Amazing!

To see the men's team, women's team, and youth teams all doing well in their respective competitions just shows how far we have come as a club.

Draw for the next round of the ContiCup will take place on Friday evening on BBC1s SportsDay programme with fixtures to take place on 7th/8th Feb. Going to make that week very busy for the women as already on 4th Feb away at Man Utd in the league, and 11th Feb away at Wolves in the FA Cup!

I did double check the BBC's listings and I think it's on BBC News rather than BBC One. Should be 6.30pm.
