    Suspect Jess Gray will want a move.
    Personally I think Jess has been better this season, but not much in it. One way or another I hope this stops the ridiculous rotation every week. Pick your starting keeper and let them have a run of games.

    There hasn't been any rotation for several weeks. Jess hasn't played any games for some time.

    1-0 Bristol City, calamitous defending and keeping from a corner

    We’ve got into a couple of promising positions but decision making has been really really poor

    I haven't watched us for a while but have been disapointed by how poor it is. Maybe they will improve after some strong words.

    1-1, couldn’t tell if that took a touch or was a wonder strike

    Is very concerning how vulnerable we look any time Bristol City have a free kick or corner

    It's being credited to Bradley as a wonder strike. Barton did well giving the keeper something else to think about while it was in the air.

    Really pushing for a winner here. Just hit the post and have had a few crosses just aged their target

    City have been on top since the equaliser but the defence are playing well and we've had a few half chances before hitting the post. Could go either way. Really good game.

    I thought City were the better side and we clearly aren't ready for promotion this season. Just my view.

    Gonna fall slightly short again it seems. 

    Frustrating but at the end of the day we're competing with clubs that are pumping money into their women's programmes right now

    Went to the game on the coach.

    We were second-best for long periods and could have been more than 1-0 down at the break. Bristol City were much better at winning the ball in midfield and were slicker in possession, with the kind of one-touch passing we weren't capable of. Katie Bradley may have scored our equaliser but it felt like she lost the ball every time she got it, and she and Mel Filis really struggled to compete, let alone create anything.

    To be fair though, we could also have won it: Kayleigh Barton had a shot blocked behind after being played in by Ellie Brazil, we hit the post from a set piece header, and Brazil came agonisingly close to reaching a Jodie Hutton cross flashed across the box. Karin Muya has incredible close control and ability to wriggle past defenders – but as one excellent run followed by a delayed and then frustratingly underhit pass showed, she needs to speed up her decision-making process. If she did, she'd be a hell of a player.

    The goal we conceded was a mess, and Sophie Whitehouse dropped a cross late on that almost gifted them a winner. But otherwise our defending was OK (Jodie Hutton again showed her remarkable knack for chasing back and making a recovery tackle), and Mary Bashford deserves a lot of credit for her resilient display at right-back after replacing the injured Charlotte Newsham in the first half.

    Overall I agree with MuttleyCAFC – other than the bottom three, the only team we've beaten this season is Durham. Even if we somehow win promotion from here, we'd struggle big time in the WSL.

    Took my little one today, though it was a short trip for us as we live just outside Bristol. We didn’t seem to get going much today, City just a bit more incisive at times. We didn’t seem to stretch Bristol too much down the wings. thought Bashford was great when she came on. Muya was strong and on another day could have broken through l, equally Ellie Brazil on another day would have got in behind a bit more. Just weren’t clicking.  A resilient performance.

    Brazil and Muya did well. I thought defensively Bristol City were weak but we needed a bit more offensive intent from the other players to capitalise on it. Their goal was awful and it was worrying how our keeper dropped an easy carch near the end. It shouldn't happen although we weren't punished for it.

    Birmingham take the lead, poor defending. We’ve been giving Birmingham far too much space and time on the ball

    Birmingham look in a different league so far, and they probably will be next season.

    You can see they’ve spent a decent chunk on their squad

    Ellie Brazil is totally isolated, on the rare occasion she gets in a promising position she has no support and the attack fizzles

    Brilliant counter attack from us but Hutton just made the wrong decision to shoot instead of square it across the box

    HT 0-1. We’ve definitely grown into the game and HT coming at just the wrong time for us

    Birmingham are a really good side. We're getting some attacking opportunities but the moment anyone takes a touch to bring the ball under control they get closed down.
