[Albion] Brighton Women vs Spurs in the WSL this Sunday @ Crawley

[zeetha]

Having been top of the table the last two games have been a bit of a reality check with losses to Aston Villa at home and (less surprisingly) Chelsea away and we have dropped to 7th. Our next game is at home (Crawley) against Tottenham Hotspur who are currently 2nd so will be another challenging fixture. Summer signing Carter seems to have settled well into the squad so I'm hopeful of getting a good result this weekend as long as we can stop playing it around at the back and getting ourselves into trouble...

Kicking off at 2pm tickets are available from the Albion as follows:
Seated areas:
Adult: £5, Seniors (65+) / Under 18: £2.50

Standing areas:
Adult: £4, Seniors (65+) / Under 18: £2

Family Ticket (2 Adults + 2 Under 18s): £10

There is free parking either at or near the ground, or Seagulls Travel are running free transport with various pickup points between Littlehampton and the Amex.

UTA!

30 mins gone and 0-0 against the table toppers

 

[Is it PotG?]

Decent strike, poor 'keeping.

1 nil up.

 

[Jack Straw]

We've grown in the game as it's gone on. Could have had another couple of goals just before half-time. Let's hope we continue the second half as we finished the first.

2-1.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Good win but should have put it to bed much earlier.

 

[Jack Straw]

Thoroughly deserved win. Top 4 finish?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Big result against a Spurs side that have won four out of four, backs to the wall at the end. The Stand or Fall banner in the south stand looks very much like the one at the Amex...

First game I have watched throughout and great we won. Good that womens game is getting better and hopefully available now to all. However apart from some nice play in mid pitch that is a different game. Defending and attacking so poor.

I watched a Women’s Championship game today (Lewes)………contrastingly the ball was given away quite a bit in the middle and the defending was excellent - some last-ditch blocks Dunk/Duffy would have been proud of. Finishing was poor though.

Good to get back to winning ways in the league, and especially against a Spurs team who had won their first 4 games. Nice to see a good crowd including quite a few Spurs supportors which made for a good atmosphere! The result takes up a place to 5th in the league.

Another great game by the rock that is Victoria Williams, the girls version of Dunk

Have you seen our WSL side play ? Would be interested how you think the standard compares as Lewes are just one division below .
Just typical that i chose to go to see the ladies play Villa where they lost without scoring and not today ! ( maybe i am a jonah ! )

Not watched a whole game yet…..will do so…..have seen lots of Lewes games though. The standard in the Championship is improving quite fast - loads more money going into it.

This was my first WSL brighton game and a great way of introducing my child to football. Decent crowd for it and it was great being able to park so close for free - what a novelty. Downside was only one food kiosk open and that was closed after 30 minutes of me queuing by the fire brigade turning up and ruling it unsafe!! Victoria williams was a rock at the back but did look very suspect with the ball at her feet in the first half. We seem to have a good midfield - quite brave going into some of those 50/50 challenges.

Ah that would explain why we had a short fire alarm in the stand with the temporary looking cover, and then saw a fireman walking up the steps of the main stand. It was slightly alarming as all we got was 2 alarm noises, then 'Attention' over the tannoy and then nothing else! Mind you it did shut up the Spurs support for a minute or two

Won at Birmingham tonight in a cup game

 

[Sheebo]

Hopefully top that league with West Ham and Millwall in our group and get through!
