The Brighton match is also going to be on MyAlbionTV if you don't want to sign up to FA Player.

A couple of articles from Brighton players about the match, and how much they wish it was at the Amex like last year -

Forward Jarrett : https://www.brightonandhovealbion.c...kend-shows-how-far-game-has-come-says-jarrett

How the heck did Lewes women get in amongst all that PL club exalted company? Pretty good effort anyway.

Brighton team for todays match

Good weather up there. Could really do with a positive result here. But scrappy in the first few minutes. Both teams pressing the ball.

I have not been online much and didn't realise Hope Powell is not in the dug out today. Is she okay.

She is self isolating having come into contact with someone who had a positive test result.

Wheres VAR when you need it. Clear pen to the Albion turned down by the ref.

Job done kept it tight 0-0 HT. We should have had a pen.

Kept them to half chances.

An aside, Polly Bancroft who is the Brighton Women’s General Manager was interviewed on [MENTION=791]The Albion Roar[/MENTION] this weekend. She’s a very smart, eloquent and engaging individual and well worth a listen.

Fiskerstrand is doing well in goal for us today. We're still looking nervous in defence - Bowman got lucky dwelling on the ball then

 

[Gwylan]

The women seem as bad at corners as the men are - it's the Brighton way

Get in 1-0 Albion

Great determination from Jarrett!

And we should've had a second straight after from Kaagman! Come on Albion!

 

[Palacefinder General]

Scrappy much needed 3 points. Great bustle from Jarrett, solid goalkeeping fom Fiskerstrand, Lee looks a good loan prospect and we should have scored that one-on-one.

Tense moments at the end, but we held out for a confidence boosting win! Fiskerstrand my player of the match as she was very solid to keep out any chances for West Ham.

An excellent win away from home for Albion Women.

Despite less possession and fewer shots on or off target, they got the all-important goal.

Relegation was always unlikely with Bristol City currently leaking 4.5 goals on average per game, but a 6th place and thus top half finish is still very possible.

Setup is pretty professionally run - much more so than the men’s side. Players are mostly part-time of course (have to go full time in WSL but not the championship) but the rest is well established. Funding in the championship is an issue - some of the teams have gone full time and have (comparatively) big budgets so it’s quite difficult for them to compete.
