    I’m not saying we are winning the league or mid table, I specifically said we need to come second bottom against at least 2 teams in our league and have already beaten this year and Brighton. 

    Much like the men’s team this year, enough to consolidate and then build. 
    I think that’s a bit naïve. Palace and Birmingham aren’t going to stand still.
    We can safely assume Birmingham will pump a lot of money in this summer. They’ve already invested heavily in their women’s team this year and they’ve been vocal about their future ambitions. Palace massively underperformed in the first half of the season. Their form recently is more like what you would’ve expected from them over the whole season. They’ll reinforce and regroup. They’ll be decent next year.

    We need to commit a large chunk of money to the women’s team if we want to be part of the elite. Whether the owners are willing to do that, I don’t know, but the women’s game is still the fastest growing sector of football and I think the club would be wise to grab the opportunity. Some won’t like it because there are quite a few fans who are only interested in the men’s team, but in my opinion, it’s really important to promote this part of the club.

    It's no surprise our form has tanked after the winter window where lots of teams strengthened and we bought a bench option and a defender who stayed on the bench yesterday while a right winger was brought on to play LB instead. To not assume similar would happen next season is incredibly naive

    If we were in the WSL1 and were playing Liverpool at home in a league fixture, that would be a must-win for avoiding relegation. We'd need to be massively stronger to go into that sort of game trying to win it rather than the team playing out of their skins to just about grab a point over the 90 minutes.

    Having said which, the fact we competed with Liverpool suggests a one-off game against Leicester (or whoever) isn't completely hopeless. So that's a positive.

    12 Apr: International break. England play Spain at Wembley (7pm ko) on 14 April.
    19 Apr: International break. England play Iceland in Reykjavik (5.30pm ko) on 18 April.
    26 Apr: Southampton, away, 2pm. At St Mary's. £10 adult, £4 under-18 if accompanied by an adult. Tickets from here.
    2 May: Birmingham City, home, 3pm. At the Valley.     £10 adult, £8 over-65, £2 under-18. Tickets from usual website. 

    Southampton seem not to have finished uploading their ticket page - it's showing the wrong kickoff time at present. No identified away area but there's a suspiciously square block of seats taken in block 3 rows Q to T which could be the seats booked by the club. Or it could be someone else.

    Looks like Sunderland have got some serious investment in ahead of next season. Let's hope that's not something we have to worry about immediately.
