  • FT 3-1. Rovers pulled one back in injury time 
  • The coach with the tablet really needs to learn to be briefer so that the subs get on the pitch sooner.

    Still not sure why Bashford always seems to be the first sub. Mel Fillis had another poor game.

    Barton came on for N'Dow at half time. Seemed an odd substitution so I assume she was injured. Don't think it was announced in the stadium.

    I attended the player to manager event at The Valley last Sunday in The Fans Bar overlooking the pitch.
    There was still about 20 mins left (including added time) of the Charlton women's game when a good hundred or so people had entered the bar/lounge.

    I didn't see one person looking out the windows to watch the game.
    I looked out and it looked to me like  there were a maximum of about 200 there including about 20 away fans from something like London City Lionesses. 
  • Decent result and 3 points. Shame we missed so many chances and the opportunity to really boost the goal difference.

    Interested to know if N'Dow was injured. Emma Bissell moving to right wing back left us a bit exposed down that side a couple of times in the second half. Overall though I thought we did okay, and with more clinical finishing or a better final ball we could have scored 6 or 7. Also thought Blackburn were very poor.

    Of course you are right. I think N'Dow was unwell. She changed her shirt for no apparent reason and took some tablets with water. It was announced as the players came out.

    I should have said first game changer.

    Two centre halves on the bench. One used with 6 minutes to go. Barton for Fillis would have been better.

    They should be. Usually around 400 for the games. There were more for the LCL game but there is no segregation so impossible to be sure of the away crowd.

  • The attendance for the London City Lionesses game was announced over the tannoy - over 1000 if I remember right. Most games they haven't announced. I looked around the West Stand just before half time and reckoned about 400, although it's very hard to tell when everyone's sat in the same stand.

  • Hard to get many more in without promotion you’d think. Would be interesting to see how many people would go if the club did a weekend where you got a free women’s ticket if you bought a men’s ticket/have a season ticket

    As you say the fans were all sitting in one block behind the home dug out and it was about half full, so I'd say 400.

    I also reckon they may get a increase in attendance if so many of the women`s home games did not coincide with the men`s home games on a Saturday. The few women`s  games I have been to this season have been when the men`s team has been away.
  • Must admit I was expecting a figure closer to 1k.

    And believe that was more or less the attendance for LCL. 

    Who else did the triple of Orient away, LCL at home then the legends Q&A? 🙋🏻‍♀️
  • The real shame is that late goal last week.

    Yup, would put us 2 points off Birmingham, with us hosting them. 

    Charlton games:
    Bristol Away
    Birmingham Home
    Sunderland Away
    Newcastle Home
    Southampton Away

    LCL games:
    Blackburn Home
    Sheffield Home
    Newcastle Away
    Southampton Away
    Durham Home
    Birmingham Away

    Birmingham games:
    Southampton Home
    Charlton Away
    Durham Home
    Newcastle Away
    LCL Home

    We'd have to win all 5 really, that puts us on 43 points. If we do that, maximum Birmingham could get is 44 points (win all games apart from losing to us) LCL can get up to 47 points, so the ideal scenario is they lose their game in hand, and lose to Birmingham, leaving them on 41 points maximum, we win every game, and Birmingham draw or lose somewhere along the way. Not impossible, but highly improbable.
  • Definitely have to win all 5 I think. Newcastle away is probably our best hope of them dropping points, other than the game they're playing against each other. Although Newcastle are down in 7th if they won their 2 games in hand they'd only be 3 points behind Birmingham.

    Durham also have a chance to take points off both, they're still right behind us
  • You can now book tickets (£5) for the CAST-subsidised coach to Bristol City – I've just got mine.
  • I thought it was a very comfortable win yesterday, should have also had a pen. Ref was quite bad.

    Blackburn did have a couple of chances in the first half, but from about 30 mins onwards I didn't feel there was much danger. 

    That first half was t-shirt weather too, which made for a lovely afternoon watch.
  • Attendance now given as 432 which isn't bad for a noon kickoff. We do need to look at ways of increasing demand if we're serious about the WSL though.
  • 16 Mar: Bristol City, away, 2pm. At Ashton Gate. £12.25 adult, £10.25 over-65, £10.25 under-22, £7 under-19, £5 under-12. Tickets from here.
    23 Mar: Birmingham, home, 2pm. At the Valley. 
    £10 adult, £7 over-65, £6 under-25, £5 under-18.
    30 Mar: Sunderland away, 2pm. At Eppleton Colliery welfare ground. Not on sale yet. Tickets from here.
    6 Apr: international week. England play Belgium at Ashton Gate on 4/4 and away on 8/4. Both sold out for England fans.
    13 Apr: week off
    20 Apr: Newcastle United, home, 2pm. At the Valley. 
    £10 adult, £7 over-65, £6 under-25, £5 under-18.

    Sunderland tickets aren't on sale yet, but from their website I suspect they'll be £12 adults, £6 under-16, probably available online in the days before the game but also available at the gate on the day.

    Great, just need a Katie Kinsella, a Katie Rufus and a Katie Kiely and we'll be sorted
  • Sophie Whitehouse given an 18 month contract extension.

    Suspect Jess Gray will want a move.
