I forecast us to go out in the Semi and not go any further now as it's the best teams left and London lioness who won't go through and us. Unfortunately can't see anything but a defeat.  Even if I forecast incorrect and get to the final how are we to break the dominance?
The quality is different level.

And for context.
Arsenal Man City and Chelsea are the only clubs to have won the   
FA Women's Continental Tyres League Cup.
No other team has won this competition since it started in 2011.
Basically it's dominated by the big girls.

2011 Arsenal
2012 Arsenal
2013 Arsenal
2014 Man City
2015 Arsenal
2016 Man City
2017 -18 Arsenal
2018 -19 Man City
2019 -20 Chelsea
2020-21 Chelsea
2021-22 Man City
2022-23 Arsenal

Played well, good win…great hit from Nobbs for the winner

[Witton Warrior]

Excellent! I shall be wearing a Villa t-shirt tonight when I visit my Spudz supporting mate who hails from Leicester and fully enjoy taking the mick twice for the win and then the fact he doesn't know about it

[BC54 VFC]

In a strange way, the absence of Daly actually gave us a better shape. It gave Leon the chance to play more centrally, Nobbs had probably her best game for us, and we dominated the majority of the match.

Well done ladies very good win, will watch MOTD tonight.

[Steve67]

Great win, well done ladies.

[Somniloquism]

Lehman scored against Poland and Daly came on as sub and scored against Austria over the weekend.

Rachel Daly came off the bench and scored the last goal in England's 5-1 win over Italy, she still has the Liverpool WSL match on Sunday to serve her 3 match ban, then returns for the cup match away to Arsenal, thankfully.

[Somniloquism]

For the second match on the trot. Seems they just prefer her as backup striker then makeshift left-back starter now.

[Somniloquism]

Goals here, first few are quite comical.
