    Tove Almqvist has been good for them, strong on the ball but also physically held her own too, shielding the ball from our players well and really progressive passing

    Means Newsham's at right-back
    Fantastic to see. She’s done well on the left but is much less effective going forward

    Really under the cosh here. We've been struggling a bit since Thestrup was substituted which is odd because I can't say I'd noticed she was playing.

    The defence have been superb today. Even with that we've needed Whitehouse to be on top form.

    What a save.

    Whitehouse might actually be Casillas in disguise

  • Just give Sophie player of the season now.

    Disallowed on the grounds of not going in the goal

    Poor old Jodie Hutton. Should have won it last season and now Whitehouse is doing this every game

    FT. 5 clear of Birmingham and 8 clear of Bristol City with a game in hand over them
  • I am amazed we won that 2-0. I don't think my blood pressure could handle watching that every week chasing promotion

    I'd rather be the dominant side in the league than the dominant side in every game, doesn't matter who we play at the moment, no-one can break us down

    It's the first time I've watched a game live rather than just highlights and it's been interesting. I say this all as a coach of girl's football. There are lots of misplaced passes and mis controls. Forest look a lot more comfortable with the ball. We look like the poorer team yet we are somehow 2-0 up and I'm wondering whether this is just normal. 
    First time I have seen us this season.  I mean how are we top and how are teams not beating us!!  They have done fantastically well.  Can't say I would enjoy this every week.  If Forest had been any good in front of goal they would not have lost this.

    My plan to be at the Valley next week has just been scuppered but I do plan to get to a gsme or two between now and the end of the season.

    I hope that the Board have a budget for the WSL Prem.
  • 3 more points. Doesn't matter how they come, just got to keep grinding them out.

    5 clear of Birmingham, 8 ahead of Bristol City with a game in hand, or 11 on Newcastle having played the same.

    8 to play, 14 points guarantees promotion. 20 for the title.

    FT 2-0

    This team is... utterly perplexing. Anyone who watched the game without knowing the league positions would have said Forest were top and unbeaten rather than us (after today and what happened at The Valley, they must hate us). We had two moments of attacking quality all game, and scored from them, but otherwise it was pretty much all Forest. They were physically stronger, they were much better at winning the ball back and using it, and they created several good chances. But they failed to take them, either through poor finishing - like that volley in the first half - or thanks to the brilliance of Sophie Whitehouse.

    I'd have said this isn't sustainable, but then it's worked throughout this season, so what do I know?
