Currently one nil up at half time vs LCL in the sevens thing. Live on sky if anyone's got nothing better to do.

Saving the last sub to bring Leitzig on for the pens??

Going to be an interesting team selection tomorrow. Given we should be able to compete a bit better in this one surely it has to be more attacking line up for a change. Think I'll despair if its five at the back with three defensively minded midfielders again.

Still just about time to change the manager before the play off. I don't give us much chance as it is so might be worth the gamble. Is there anyone obvious available that we could attract (and afford).

Looks to me like another very negative team selection.

Skipp - Winks doesn't work because Skipp is poor going forward - Hamza will be worse. James must still be unfit.

Mouchon out again is a big blow for us.

There was a shot of at the end of someone on our bench with crutches but I couldn't make out who it was

According to the DailyMail we are after Matt Beard to replace Miquel - he previously worked with our new DOF. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-15039355/Burnley-womens-boss-Matt-Beard-resigns-denied-permission-talk-team-just-TWO-MONTHS-joining.html?ico=authors_pagination_desktop

The BBC report is a bit misleading as on the official site it says it says that those listed have already signed new contracts and that - Negotiations are on-going with a number of First Team players around their futures on Filbert Way as preparations ahead of the new season continue. Which would be Rantala and tbh I can't think of who else unless they are looking at some extensions.

So I guess Rantala is one of the players still in negotiations which doesn't give much confidence that she will be staying. She is one of the most important players to try and resign in my opinion.

Most womens teams have already released a list of players who are departing and it seems strange that we don't do this before their last match if a decision has been made. I get some players might still be negotiating but with so many out of contract there must be a few that could be announced.

Winks kicks the ball out. Free kick was never hand ball. Miles offside. For some reason none of our players even appeal??

No forward on the bench. Already deflated by thinking about when we stick Ayew up front after 70 mins....

Not a fan of these short goal kicks, just invites pressure.

Bit early for the keeper injury tactical time out

The second angle was just the close up with the onside line that was shown during the match. Not showing Justin (so no reference if was the correct frame) and no lines on the attacker.

The sky sports ref watch discussion of the offside made no sense whatsoever. Dermot basically said the technology showed him onside. Ignoring the fact that they only drew one line so it was impossible for it to show him offside!

Just hoping Ricky and Mavi have a useful 60 mins and are then rested to start at the weekend.

Our deduction is going to be for 2 offences, so I'm not sure why it has to be 10 points maximum. It made no sense that Everton managed to only get 2 points deducted for a second breach but we need something similar now.

Need some more changes now.

Lacking of changes towards the end was just baffling. Did Enzo forget we had subs left?

Should have Iheanacho and Daka on

It seems on the face of it rather unfair that we get relegated at least in part due to another club breaking the financial rules - which leads to us breaking the financial rules - and now we may get punished for it.

Yes it is on.
