[Albion] Brighton's women's team - what's going on

[Han Solo]

Maybe, but we've also lost Terland and Robinson... so two great players coming in, but we've lost two important ones too.

There's a lot more than just two good/interesting players (assuming you mean Kirby and Harris) coming in. Cankovic is a brilliant playmaker and dribbler, just a little slow. Aisha Masaka looked like one of the most promising players in Damallsvenskan (which is a good league). Can't say I know a lot about Kiko Seike but she is a starter in the Japanese team, one of the best in the world. The Dutch signings seem to be close the Netherlands national team, also a top 10 side.

Can't say I'm an expert on women's football but it looks promising on paper.

Not to mention Bruna signed from Barcelona Femeni!

Bruno Vilamala looks like a direct replacement for, or even an upgrade on Katie Robinson.

Nikita Parris is a straight swap with Man Utd for Elizabeth Terland, and although Parris is older imo we get the better deal due to better all round play by Parris.

All other incomings appear to be upgrades on what we had last season, so all in all probably our best shot at making 4th since we've been in the WSL.

Bit late notice as deadline is 6pm tonight for the first games, but anyone else playing FantasyWSL? https://www.fantasywsl.net/

I do the Premier League one as well, and am generally rubbish at them but hey its a bit of fun

Julia Zigiotto Olme signed for Bayern! I hadn't seen that whilst looking up the ladies who left us, great move for her. There are a few players who have left us who I have a feeling could come back if we can get in the top 4 this season and look poised to push on. It will be interesting to see how Terland gets on at Man Utd with their downgraded training facilities for the women's team being a stark contrast to the Elite Performance Center in Lancing!

Our match doesn't appear to be on the FA Player, but is on YouTube.

Playing some nice football but no breakthrough yet.

 

[Han Solo]

20 minutes in and already it is obvious that the team is a lot better than last season.

Other than a couple of loose passes putting us into trouble it is looking good so far.

A bit like the men's game against Ipswich we are struggling to make many clear cut opportunities.

Seike looks very good

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Wow Seike, what a goal.

 

[Han Solo]

Seike looks very good

Yup. Key player in one of the five best national teams in the world. Underestimated signing and very clearly a world class player.

And now she scored!

We have a second Japanese star at Brighton!!!

 

[sagaman]

Plenty of comments from Japanese fans on the You Tube coverage.
PB and others will be delighted!

 

[Han Solo]

2-0, another great goal.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Serious tempo about the side, I'm impressed

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Incredibly soft pen for 3 nil.

 

[Han Solo]

3-0, cheap pen.

Quite a tight game in the first half but now we really see the difference in class.

 

[Simster]

Deserves a lot better than playing in front of two men and a dog 20 miles out of town.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Wow!!!
