    Thought we were fantastic today, probably my favourite performance I can remember since I've been watching them.

    Well-deserved winners.

    As others have said, that second half performance in particular was outstanding. We pressed them really effectively high up, which meant they hardly ever managed to get the ball into the final third, and if they did, either a Charlton head or body was in the way or Sophie Whitehouse came out to deal with it. We grabbed control of the game in the first 15 minutes after half-time, firstly with a coolly taken penalty by Katie Bradley after a foul on Muya and then with a goal from Gracie Pearse, inexplicably left alone in the box to stab home. Bradley then nearly scored a wondergoal, wriggling out of a tight spot in our own half, striding forward and hitting a shot from long range that the keeper just managed to push around the post.

    Bristol City only had two real chances: the first was an incredible double save from Whitehouse, and the second was shortly after we'd gone 2-0 up, when under pressure their attacker could only head over the bar. To nullify a team that scored seven last week is hugely impressive – there must be something in the air at Sparrows Lane for both our women's and men's teams to have such good defensive records.

    Performances like that make me really start to believe that we can do this now. We'll done Karen and the team.

    That was a good game, I came to it thinking this would be the one where we get found out, because we've been winning games without playing very well. First half was pretty even but second half we dominated. It was good to see as well that the forwards (like in the men's team) are there to run defences ragged. Fitzgerald did that wonderfully today - I had thought she was a bit easily pushed off the ball when I've seen her before but was pestering the City defence constantly. A real team effort today.

    Saw Jason Sudeikis was there today (anyone else from the Ted Lasso cast)?

    One player I found frustrating today was Karin Muya. Everytime the ball went to her, she seemed to have such a poor first touch that her second touch either didn’t materialise or it was a tackle.
    Having said that, the one exception was just before the pen and then she won the pen too!

    Thought the winning of the pen was so funny because it was her poor awareness that won it. Really she had a great shooting opportunity but failed to notice and then got bundled over

    Yes, that will happen. I remain absolutely mystified by what Hills sees in here, especially over McAteer

    The writer and lead actor from Ted Lasso. Rumour has it the fourth series will be about women’s football.

     Fun Fact: Former Addick Eni Aluko was in the episode Rainbow
    But doubt she was there today.

    They were all there.

    They are going to film something on the pitch next year.
