    Whoever it is I hope they're a striker or a physical specimen, we desperately need both

    Can't believe we've signed a player called Linda. Feels a bit like the time this site manifested Appleton as manager.

    Wonder what Rob Lif Boama has to say about it?

    Looks like a good signing. She also seems like a very engaging person form the media. Sounds like he's going to be an aggressive presser up front which will suit a Hills team perfectly

    Ooooooh hope she’s going to take over Daði Freyr as my favourite Icelandic person! 🥳

    Videos show her doing press ups and showing very toned muscles.

    A few more games have gone on sale, including Everton away which is available from the women's away page on the ticketing website. Tickets for that one are £12 adults and £6 under-18s and we've got block 6 in the Park End with home fans in blocks 1 to 4 plus the lower sections of the main stand and art of the other end. Looks like about 150 tickets on offer.

    Also the home games against Lionesses and City are on sale on the home part of the ticketing site.

    Any idea on the formation and who's playing where? Seems to be a side of defenders and midfielders...

    I'm guessing Hutton and Siber furthest forward like on Wednesday. Hope we get to see Boama at some point.

    Mel Filis starts for Wolves – nice to see her again.

    Also slightly surprised it's not being streamed at all

    Apparently this season's tactics is play a team of defenders, then unleash Ashleigh Neville as a goalscoring fullback!

    Did you go? Would love to know the shape for these last two games as I haven’t been able to watch and the line ups are really puzzling

    Finished 3-1, Humphrey getting our third before Wolves pulled a goal back late on.

    I get the impression that Karen isn't sure what her team next Sunday is going to be (either that or she's used these two games to completely flummox Liverpool as they prepare this week). Only Lobato and Whitehouse played the full 90 minutes. I'm never good at working out what formation a team is playing, and all the subs in the second half made it even harder, but I think it was 4-5-1 in the first half: Lobato and Neville at left and right-back, Mason and Siber on each wing, Flannery and van Egmond holding, and Davidson in theory in a more advanced role in support of Hutton. It didn't work that well (and won't work against WSL teams) – it really doesn't play to Hutton's strengths and doesn't give us enough physical presence up front. That said, we were 2-0 up at half-time, as Neville showed her attacking prowess by scoring twice, the first a header and the second a tap-in after nice interplay down the left. She'll be a big player for us this season.

    When we did bring our strikers on, Azzaro struggled to make any kind of impact, and Boama was only able to show isolated glimpses of what she can do. Kenney was in the stands with no obvious sign of injury, so I hope she's able to play sooner rather than later. Another worry was that Wolves could have had more than the one goal they scored, following a cross that was flicked on and finished at the second time of asking after the first header hit the post. Whitehouse had to make two brilliant saves in quick succession in the first half and another decent stop at her near post in the second, and she'll have to be at least as good as she was last season if we're to have any hope of survival.

    There were lots of variations during the game.

    Waldie got her first real game time and played left back and then central defence when N'Dow was withdrawn.

    Lobato played left side in the first half and right side in the second.

    Playing Fitzgerald and Johnston for part of the game as wing back was risky.

    Carla Humphrey had a very good game. Covered a lot of the pitch and kept running.

    When does the women transfer window close?.

    11pm on 3 September

    Karen said in her post-match interview yesterday there's "potentially still a little bit to do" in the window, so we might get one or two more in.

    In case people unaware, but on Sunday is the Big half London Marathon, which means roads around the area, will be closed from mid morning to  16:00 afternoon, as last year.
    It even buggers me up in Southwark as it effects getting to Canada water by bus and will make getting to London Bridge by bus difficult as roads in these area closed and in Deptford. If going to the game on Sunday plan you journeys with this in mind.

    26 Sep (Sat): Manchester City, home, 1.30pm. At the Valley. £10 adult, £8 over-65, £6 under-18. Tickets from usual website.
    30 Sep (Weds): Crystal Palace, away, 7pm. At Sutton United FC. Home seats are £13.50 adult, £10 over-65 & under-21, £1 under-17. Home standing £10 adult, £7.50 over-65 & under-21, £1 under-17. 
    4 Oct: Brighton & Hove Albion, away, 7.45pm. At the Amex. £15 adult, £11 over-66, £11 under-21, £8 under-18, £6 under-10. Not on sale yet.

    Now Brighton have put the League Cup tickets on sale we can see there's a block marked as away seats. Most of the area has been block-booked, which seems to be normal for people who travel with the club, player's family, etc. 44 seats at the back available to purchase, of which 11 are restricted view. I suspect 33 will be enough for a midweek away league cup game.

    Unless I'm missing something obvious, I can't see anything on the Palace ticketing website to suggest there's an away area for the game at Sutton. May be best to delay purchasing until we know if there are going to be rules.
