Watched most of this, pretty awful apart from one piece of quality from Beth England. Theres a massive gap between the top 4 and the rest.

We haven't made it to any games this season (I'm recovering from a major op so not sure when we'll be able to start going again), so thank goodness for the FA Player. Even though we've been losing far too much of late. Apart from a couple of nights ago (phew).

Anyway, Rehanne Skinner has released a statement.

Hugely important victory, but it's been a terrible season. 5 points clear of relegation because they beat the bottom team twice by the odd goal. The only other wins have been 1-0 against Liverpool and the anomaly of 0-8 at Brighton.

Sadly the women's game revolves around teams outside the top 4 jostling for the very few good players not wanted by the top 4. Challenging the top 4 will take a lot of money that I very doubt will become available to any other team.

Last season it was obvious that the team lacked the athleticism and shot power and accuracy to trouble the best. It doesn't seem to have improved this season (albeit English has the traits), so it'll be interesting to see what happens with a new manager.
Looking at transfer prices it wouldn't take that much money

No it wouldn't. The record British transfer is less than the top men earn in a week. However when you look at how much the women's game actually generates most of the top teams are still being subsidised by the men's game.

In regards to this, I think it is going to come down to how clubs predict the outcome long term will be! We know that Levy/ENIC will do what they can to put that team in and around those Top 3/4 spots in good facilities (already being sorted), they just need to see signs of their game growing an audience and bringing in better sponsors and importantly cash.

Arsenal this weekend at Brisbane Rd. First home game I'm going to miss:(
My head say's 'park the bus & hang on for dear life for a point' Hmm...that's my only thought at the moment!

Overall, this season we've looked sluggish & disorganised. Injuries have taken there toll but sloppy mistakes have remained prevalent.
Other teams in this league, outside the top 4 are making gradual improvements & we look to be the team falling by the wayside.
Manager wise, maybe a coach from the USA? Who knows, I don't know who's available.?

You sure you're in the right place? The Conte/ENIC/race for 4th thread is ➡️

2nd time I’ve watched Spurs Ladies and both times they’ve been hammered by Ar5ena1 😩. Don’t think I’ll waste my time again.

What a shambles of a club
We have no ambition - but that is not the same as being in shambles.

The women will avoid relegation, and that really is their only goal of the season. It would take more investment than Levy wants, to make Spurs competitive with the top teams.

Arsenal are really good, and invest in their squad.

Awful, just awful.

Everton were less than impressive and yet on a couple of occasions, they strolled through our defence and put a goal past our very shaky keeper. We have no intensity, we don't press, we are very susceptible to any kind of opposition press & give away possession constantly.
Leicester are playing Reading at the moment & along with them, we are fighting to stay out of that relegation spot.
