Two games already gone to the weather, Albion's luck needs to turn a bit and we get ahead and win a game outright.

Still 0-0 but Albion have just fizzed one across the box and no one got a touch

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Four really good chances created so far, but none converted.

Still 0-0

that FA player is shite

Whelan, well deserved goal - lets get to HT 1-0 up

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Girls have been magnificent first half. Let's hope they can keep it up second half.

About as rough as this pitch, groundstaff have done a great job making it playable.

May have done us a favor playing a team with twice our points tally, although we are the side playing it more on the deck.

1-0 HT

Lets get that second goal.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Passing across the back, playing the ball out from the back nearly cost us, when Walsh got caught with the ball on her left foot.

Still 1-0

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Last 5 mins of regular time.

Still 1-0 pretty even second half with Walsh making a good save to keep up ahead.

 

[Taybha]

1 - 0 full time

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Brilliant win, beating the 5th placed side.

Commentators gave Le Tisser and Kerkdijk the centre backs players of the match. Saying they keep Everton quiet al day.

Is is Man U at home next, bring then on.

Arsenal who looked unbeatable have lost to Chelsea and Man City last two weeks and dropped to 3rd out of the European spots.

Gap appearing and hopefully we are now looking up.

Big game away at Birmingham next weekend.

A number of Crawley fans are starting to grumble about the state of the pitch and blaming it on our Ladies

Just back from the match. Good first half for the Albion with us pushing on against an Everton side that seemed to have come to play for time despite being further up the league. We sat back increasingly in the second half as Everton increased the tempo and we tired, but despite a few scares they never really looked like scoring. Pitch did not look good even before we started and got worse as divots came up, but at least we held on for a morale-boosting win and there were no injuries. My player of the match was Le Tissier who did a sterling job at the back.
