Aston Villa Women 2023/24

[kippaxvilla2]

Even our team of 2015 was better quality than what I have seen so far.  Okay, I maybe exaggerating.  Let me rephrase it, none of it gets me on the edge of my seat and it is terrible to watch for the most part.  One thing it has in common with the men's team though, is the ability to concede late goals to lose games.  Oh and it is only £12 to watch a game so the attendances are going up but still only 12k recently at home.

Ooh,we're winning.Can we hang on for the win.

1-1 with some stupid defensive howler

[AlexAlexCropley]

1-2 now.When we haven't got the ball we are woeful. No closing down or awareness.
Relegation fight it is then.

[Footy-Vill]

Even though as I suspected Lehmann not making starting line up the set up is all wrong.
Accomodation too many attackers.

Chelsea next and Ward is under pressure especially if we lose this one.

 I do wonder if taking step backwards. We have the second half to turn things around v spurs.
Come on Villa!

The wingers aren't doing anywhere near enough. No end product going forward (penalty win aside), invisible when we've not got the ball.

1-3 with some b/s defending in the box.
Ward out now

How offside? Lino's nowhere.

[Somniloquism]

Really missing Dali and Hanson to grab goals/assists and take the pressure off.

Tottenham top of men’s and women’s leagues.  Puke.

Liverpool are top of the men's table at the moment.

I thought that in the summer, if we wanted to have any chance of really troubling the top four we needed to upgrade the defence. We didn't. But the permanent signing of Hanson along with the addition of Leon and the return of Salmon had me thinking it didn't matter because we'd be scoring six every week. Not exactly panning out like that.

How offside? Lino's nowhere.

I was behind that lino and she was shite all game, constantly behind play and it was indeed offside.

I know this is incredibly harsh but Salmon does not look like a top level footballer in the slightest. Just watch her movement, she's slow and has no dynamism or awareness, loses the ball loads and has no end product. Genuinely terrible.

And on Carla Ward, why are we playing CB's as fullbacks? Why a CM at fullback? I agree with you that we needed to upgrade defensively as well after last season but if you need fullbacks... then buy fucking fullbacks. It shows how little faith she has in them now she's square pegging round holes regularly. It's a 22 game season and we've lost the first 4, our season bar surviving is close to over already. What a let down.

[Lastfootstamper]

I love Pacheco's energy, but her and Mayling as fullbacks give me flashbacks of watching Taylor & Hutton with my fingers crossed.
