    Should say that the CAFCW account hasn’t tweeted about the red card but Oxford have and it’s on Fotmob, clearly not the best day for our comms team today

    Sometimes it takes me 5 minutes to send a tweet in a football stadium. Maybe it is the WIFI they are connected to 🤷🏼‍♂️

    That excuse doesn’t fly when there’s other tweets in between, it’s poor comms

    You're incredibly easily pleased then. Needing a penalty to beat an inconsistent, middling side in the league below isn't a convincing win in the slightest. Having to bring in half the first XI as subs to get the win, isn't convincing. We're in the draw for the quarter finals, but we didn't get there in a convincing manner at all

    To be fair you could copy and paste 'not convincing in the slightest' for pretty much every single game this team have played this season and yet they're top of the league and through to the quarter finals of the FA Cup. At this point getting upset about winning but not winning well is just beside the point. They win. We don't know how it's happening but we've all agreed to just accept and enjoy it and not ask questions.

    Well done to the women, a shame no coverage of this competition.

    Really not sure what we were thinking with the number of changes made. We are not a goal-scoring team and could have been in trouble had we gone behind.

    Oxford United also have a stronger home advantage than most teams due to the 3G pitch.

    If you change almost your entire team, you’re always going to be running the risk of a shock result. The 3G pitch added to this.
    Hills took that risk. She gave some second choice players some game time, rested most of her first choice players (with those who did play only being on the pitch for 30 mins max), and got the result. All of these factors are positive. 
    At the end of the day, the risk paid off.

    Charlton 'Bare Minimum' Athletic strike again.

    I assume Karen Hills made all those changes primarily because of Wednesday's exertions and because we didn't want to risk injuries to key players (though Jodie Hutton played the full 90 minutes), but if part of her thinking was to give fringe players a chance, none of them really took it. Amalie Thestrup showed why she has lost her place, Emma Bissell held the ball up well but has clearly adopted the Sonny Carey 'Shoot On Sight Even When Better Options Are Open' philosophy, Mary McAteer worked hard without posing much of a threat, and Katie Lockwood looked good in moments while never really taking the game by the scruff of the neck as she might have done. Slightly more positive were Anna Pedersen, who made a couple of saves in the first half and generally did what she had to do competently, Mia Ross, who kept things ticking over at the base of the midfield, and Lizzie Waldie, who did a solid enough job at left-back.

    We only had one real chance on the first half, when Thestrup squared it for Bissell to fire a first-time shot over the bar. We asserted more control in the second half as Oxford tired, but it still took the introduction of Lucy Fitzgerald, Gillian Kenney and Karin Muya for us to really ramp up the pressure. Fitzgerald had a huge chance when clean through, but rather than shooting she tried to go round their keeper Wookey (yes, that really is her name), who dived at her feet and held on to the ball. The penalty came with about 15 minutes to go: Muya somehow managed to miss from about a yard out, and then an Oxford defender handled the rebound on the line and was sent off. With regular penalty taker Katie Bradley still on the bench, Fitzgerald stepped up to score into the bottom right corner. We kept Oxford at arms length after that without seriously threatening any more goals, and 1-0 it finished.

    As with so many of our games this season, it wasn't pretty but it got the job done. Karen's gamble paid off as we gave some players a rest and got through without picking up any injuries. And we're in the FA Cup quarter-final, which this club doesn't manage very often.

    COYA!
