Youth, Reserves and Ladies 2015-16

She wouldn't see much variance between the quality of keeping at a women's game than some of the stuff we've seen down at B6 the past couple of seasons. Brad's got a gallery of howlers to rival the worst of anything that women's football has to offer.

Oh no, yo have to watch it, the amount of shots that seem to go straight through them is frightening.

To my eternal shame, I read that last post and instantly thought of at least half a dozen misogynistic quips.

My biggest problem with women's football is the pace has always seemed like watching the 1970 world cup.

I don't mind that, so long as the skills are good it can be good to watch and the game has really come on in the last few years, it's not as far progressed as the rugby though where the womens game is really good, Maggie Alphonsi was a genuinely superb back row with all the aggression, skills and tricks you'd expect in the mans game.

Women's football is best at just slightly below the top level, they pass it around and play decent stuff.

At the very top level, the US and the Germany teams, they play like Pulis-era Stoke with one big, tall player up front who wins everything in the air.

All the goalkeepers are shite though.

Actually, she's the best I've ever seen.

Strong, athletic, fearless, and Googles superbly.

[Toronto Villa]

Enjoys beating up on family members too. She's a lovely person by all accounts.

Yep she seems lovely.

Not sure where Borg originates from but looks like a young version of John Gidman - if only he could have the same impact.

You're right, I was about to describe him as a 21st century John Gidman, as not only does he have the skills of Giddy, he looks a very physically strong lad. We got him from West Ham, who fought off Man Utd and Chelsea to get him.

Interesting piece on him here.

Could someone please explain why the fair play rules mean that we may lose promising young players whom we want to keep?
