What a nightmare season after the positivity of the last one. The FA Cup was our last chance of a bit of joy.
The manager must be starting to feel some pressure now
Who makes that decision on the women’s side?
Heck ?

My niece kidnapped me after the game, so I've only just got back in. Started brightly, then spent what must have been close to an hour in our own half. I thought our best spell of the game came in the period before Mayling's colossal brainfart, when we looked like we were about to get back in the game at any moment. And that was a joke of a penalty award to rub salt in.

We need new defenders, there's no getting away from that. And I very much question our 4-1-4-1 formation, which Ward seems wedded to. We look stale, nothing new to offer. And as with the men's game, you have to invest just to stand still. We haven't, and now we're going backwards at a fair old rate of knots.

Heck is - I think - not involved in footballing decisions.

That was a big disappointment, giving the ball away too easily, missplaced passes and a lack of any rhythm. Rachel Daly will get fed up of not having many scoring chances created for her. Outplayed by Everton.

Our midfield was abysmal yesterday. Kenza & Stan consistently passed to the opposition, over hit passes or just ran into the nearest Everton player who dispossessed them. There was no outlet ball for our defenders, hence the game being played mainly in our half as we passed it from left to right and back again.On the odd occasion it got as far as Daly or Leon we did look dangerous. Unfortunately this was far too infrequent and then we concede 3 completely avoidable goals.

One up at Leicester at half time with Rachel Daly scoring the goal.

Tough at the end but should not have been with chances early second half

Only watched the last ten minutes and what a nervous watch that was. One question:why on earth do we defend so deep? It muddies space in the box and offers no out ball.

Big win for the ladies which makes the table look a bit more respectable.

I'm at the game tonight. McPhee would've been proud of our third.
