Thoroughly enjoyed the day and game.
Sat pretty close behind the Swindon dugout first half as mates mate is Assistant manager (tetchy little shit who didn't shut up at the 4th official all game). Moved towards the covered End second half to see all the goals.
Swindon were very unhappy about the 3rd goal. Apparently they haven't been asked about the multi ball system which apparently you have to agree pre game. So the quick throw in took them by surprise. Equally it had been used by both sides plenty of times before that point so don't really buy that tbh.
Obviously against a lower level opposition. Massive gulf in quality and fitness. Swindon sat off us and gave us a lot of space and respect. So much space and after the first 5 mins I was worried we wouldn't break them down. Luckily I was wrong.
Weirdly both my standout players were defenders (probably because of the space and time they were given). Number 18 on the right of defence looked excellent, particularly going forward. And number 5 at CB, looked strong, composed on the ball and had a real turn of pace. If she plays like that against better opposition she will be class.2 -
How close to our first team was that?
Is Lockwood related to BDL?0 -
Pretty much the first team and Lockwood is a new signing from north of the border so I doubt itcantersaddick said:How close to our first team was that?

A professional performance in a game that made very clear the stark difference between the top two levels of the women's game and everything below it.It was nice for our strikers to fill their boots, and after starting with a strong team we were able to rest key players like Elisha N'Dow and Jodie Hutton while giving debuts to Katie Lockwood and Lizzie Waldie. Lockwood looked decent enough and scored twice, though I was less impressed with Waldie, who looked a bit nervous in just about the least stressful in-game circumstances imaginable (I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and put it down to debut nerves). The goal of the game for me was our fourth, a really incisive move down the left leading to a cross from Hutton for Karin Muya to finish neatly.Today served as a nice warm-up game for next Sunday's huge test against Newcastle, and the standard of opposition means it doesn't tell us much more than we already knew. But it's a nice confidence boost to start the year, plus it was Karen Hills' 150th game in charge – the milestone was marked with a commemorative shirt presented before kick-off. Congratulations to her, and let's hope this is the start of a really special year!3

If your serious, I could lend you mine (I am busy with work the next two women games). Mi casa, su casa, but it shouldn't cost much to buy a ticket yourself tbf.cantersaddick said:

Chatham at home? Or do we want Arsenal, Chelsea or Man City and be done so we can focus on trying to get promoted?Cup logic applys club wide. League is more important (in the Women's case promotion is priority) would like an little team purley because it means we can play a 2nd string. I will echo the views of my friend and say away (as it'll be a nice little trip).If we get promoted we will play the Arsenals (at the main ground not the reserve ground), Chelsea and Man Citys of the country.That being said- never will complain about a trip to Wembley!1 -
Would love to get Chatham. Keith Boanas is manager there.2

They ran out of space for the 10. Had to reduce the font size. We were wondering about this after the 9th goal so looking out for it when the 10th went in. Goal graphic stayed on screen for a while. Seemed like they were trying to work out how to get it to fit.JustFloydRoad said:

Want Oxford or Chatham next round, keep the winning feeling and momentum going2
-
Are we at the stage where we should all collectively get off our arses and go along to give them some support or is it too soon and we will jinx it ? I quite fancy another day out at Wembley.0
-
Why not? I go infrequently with my daughter and we had a great time. Mind you the ten goals may have helped!2
-
I don't think there's any issue with a jinx. Wembley's still a way off, and at some point we're likely to come up against a WSL team who may well have too much for us, but I think it's worth going for it in the FA Cup - as Sam says, why not keep the momentum going, especially when that winning mentality has been one of the key reasons behind our success so far? Plus, after we play Ipswich away on 18 February we don't have another league game until 15 March, as there's the 5th round of the cup on 22 February and then an extended international break. Obviously I appreciate the risk of injuries in any game, but it's not like there are too many games for the players.
Newcastle at home at 2pm on Sunday will be a big game for our promotion push - come along!3 -
At a recent game there were 10 minutes of extra time so the font size of the clock had to reduce.cantersaddick said:

There are a number of problems with the layouts being used.
The player names and numbers don't align. Same with the scorers. You also need very good eyesight to see the 2 next for Thestrup's second.
The use of upper and lower case letters for the player names would make them more readbable.0 -
There are 10 WSL1 teams among the 15 others in the draw for the next round, so we need a bit of luck even to get a draw that gives us a shot at the quarter finals. Let's just enjoy the ride as long as it lasts, and if the draw gives us Chelsea away again then treat it as a day out and then focus on the league.3

If we draw a WSL team, I want a struggling one tbh, especially as it'll be a good marker for any potential playoff game and/or next year.Swindon_Addick said:There are 10 WSL1 teams among the 15 others in the draw for the next round, so we need a bit of luck even to get a draw that gives us a shot at the quarter finals.

So number 1 choice is Oxford or Chatham and keep momentum, next best is a fellow WSL2 team seeing as we're unbeaten against all of them, and then next best scenario is probably Everton, West Ham or Liverpool.
I don't think we'll do well against a top WSL side yet and like I said I think we should be looking to remain undefeated as long as possible.
Only good thing about drawing a top WSL side is a potential big gate and being on TV0 -
Really gutted I couldn’t see them but I had to travel home Sunday 😞
Delighted for them & I echo to wanting Chatham 🙏🏻🤞🏼0 -
Oxford away in the draw, great chance to progress2
-
Great opportunity to make the quarters. Kind of feel for the 2 lower league sides, Oxford get us and Chatham get a trip to Birmingham.1

Probably feel more for Oxford, Chatham get to play at St Andrews at least while Oxford have to host.0

Good draw for us, opportunity to rest a couple of girls and still be strong favourites to progress.
I believe they play at Oxford City's home ground0 -

Only good thing about drawing a top WSL side is a potential big gate* and being on TV*- only if at the Valley. Top WSL sides away, your not going to get the big stadium. Arsenal play at Meadow Park, Chelsea: Kingsmedow, Tottenham: Brisbane Road, City and United play at Joie Stadium and Leigh Sports Village Stadium respectively for Cup games.Liverpool are not really top WSL side.**- Only one I would really want out of that is Everton (away), since I have never done Goddison (never did it with the men).League, and promotion, should be priority though.0 -
