Leicester City Women

If I were the Birmingham coach, I'd have a word with my reserve keeper and tell her to watch her feet. She's stepping outside her area on occasion when taking goal kicks (i.e. from hand, punts)

Edit: if they'd their shooting boots on, they'd be ahead by more - another good chance

Going to be an interesting last 5. Birmingham having been pushing all 2nd half.

6 minutes extra time.

what a farce! lol

off the post when clear on goal, goal line clearance.... should have been 3 from one of them!

Excellent win and well deserved. The better side by far 1st half. 2nd half, they struggled more than they ought have against a spirited fight back.

I shall definitely be watching this on Sunday, not so sure about the men's game.

I reckon we stand a decent chance against WHam Women. Our form of late has been good and we'll be confident. WHam are not amongst the elite WSL teams and whilst a step up from us perhaps, are the calibre of team we should be looking to beat if we want to be making progress.

Is this a mirror universe version of the match later today?

 

[Jeff]

3-0!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jeff]

Full time, won 3-0. Flint, Plumptre and Gregory got the goals.

Up to tenth in the table after going above Everton. Eight points clear of Birmingham at the bottom of the table.

Great result! New manager sounds like they've made a big difference

Ashleigh Plumptre is going to the Afcon! The games also serve as qualifiers for the WWC, with the semi finalists out of the 12 team competition going through she should fancy her chances too
