11 Jan: Ipswich Town, away, 2pm. At Colchester United FC. £10 adult, £8 concession, £5 under-18, £2 under-11. Tickets from here.
If you have a ST for the women's team and buy your FA Cup ticket from the website it will be half price.
For the Ipswich game, you can choose to sit with the home fans (blocks 3 to 6) or away (block 7) by clicking a link on the website. Looks like under-11s get in free if they don't outnumber the accompanying adults. A note on the website defines "concession" as senior or disabled, but doesn't say what age senior is.1 -
Still in the driver's seat and that's what counts. Match everyone else's points tally from here on out and we're up.
Drop 6 points or less and we're up too (based on teams that still have to play eachother can't both win, and can't both overtake us) and that number is based on the 2 teams immediately below us winning every game from now until the end of the season, a huge ask0 -
Karin Muya was top scorer at London City Lionesses and a fee was involved in her transfer. She is a striker not a winger.EpsomAddick said:Just got back.
Agree with the other comments - we started well, Lucia Lobato doing brilliantly to step in and win the ball, take it forward and hit it low into the corner, and we were very much on top. Then one mistake from Elisha N'Dow gave them a corner which went straight in, and we never regained that dominance. The second half was painful to watch, as we could hardly string two passes together and created nothing until a goalmouth scramble from a corner right at the end. I get that the conditions were terrible, but we can't use that as an excuse.
I assume we only played Charlotte Newsham on the left because Gracie Pearse wasn't available, and we definitely won't get the best out of her or Jodie Hutton doing that. They linked up brilliantly at one point in the first half, but otherwise neither had anything close to their best game for us. On the plus side, I thought Gloria Siber did well at right-back, and Kiera Flannery had a good game in central midfield. But we still struggle to create chances, and if Karin Muya is on the end of them, as she was a couple times today, then her powderpuff shots are unlikely to seriously trouble any keeper. Likewise Amalie Thestrup - when she was through on goal early in the second half, I never had any confidence she could pull away from the defenders and get a clean shot away.
As Swindon_Addick says, the Forest game on 21 December is big. Let's hope playing a better team brings out the best in us, as it often has this season.
Amalie Thestrop is being played in the wrong position. She is another striker.
We never seem to attack down the middle.
Karen's tactics might be OK if the players on the wings could actually cross the ball. Even worse overhit corners.
Getting an early single goal and trying to defend it is a risky process as it proved yesterday.0 -
Have contacted various people in the club since the cup draw to ask if the 1905 Lounge will be open next Sunday.
No response.
Another example of the lack of people in support posts for the women's team.0 -
Finally got a reply from the Ticket Office.
They will be releasing tickets for the 1905 Lounge for Sunday's cup tie this afternoon.1 -

Any one can give an up date. Was going had the ticket but woak up with cough and runny nose, so decided I should not go out. Would be nice if a Charlton team could have a cup run.0

Surprised that there was not even score updates on the BBC. Still showing games kick off times. Very poor imo.3

This round really highlighting the lack of depth in quality in the women's game. 11 of the 16 2pm ties won by 3 or more goals, including a 10-0, 7-0, 6-0, 2 5-0's and a 5-1.0

Thank goodness we woke up in the second half, because that first-half performance was truly terrible. Once Watford realised we didn't know how to break them down, they grew in confidence, pressed us high and went in front with a slightly scrappy goal from a corner. Even more worrying than the lack of chances was that Watford were first to every ball and strong enough to muscle us off it when we had possession, with Lucy Fitzgerald and Mary McAteer the main offenders.
Gloria Siber and Karin Muya replaced Mia Ross and McAteer respectively at the break, and they made a real difference. Muya quickly equalised after controlling an aerial ball well and hitting it low, Katie Bradley scored the second with a shot from outside the area that beat the keeper at her near post, and Gillian Kenney got the third with a powerful strike into the same corner as the spaces opened up in a tiring Watford defence. Muya had a goal on the rebound chalked off for offside, then a good Watford break saw them pull a goal back from a tap-in after Sophie Whitehouse saved the initial shot. There were no real alarms in the final few minutes, though, as Bradley and Jodie Hutton channelled their inner Tony Watt and kept the ball in the corner.
I've no idea why Karen Hills played Mia Ross at right-back – it's even more baffling after Siber gave a decent account of herself in that position against Portsmouth – and Amalie Thestrup continuing to start games gets harder to justify with every passing game. But at least the changes happened promptly, and overall the second-half display was much improved. And we scored more than twice in a game for the first time this season!
Beat (or at least avoid defeat to) Nottingham Forest next Sunday and we'll be in the perfect position going into the new year. As long as we can get performances like the first half today out of our system, there's no reason we can't go on and get promotion.6 -
