Interesting to know, particularly considering their girls trials are this weekend.

Shame to see Hannah go, I dont think she's been very effective at all in the WSL, but she clearly has it in her locker a bit as she shines for Wales quite often. It was optimistic to think we could keep her, but she could have been great in the WSL2. Not bothered about Ayanne and Swaby though...

Never looked like she enjoyed being with or connected with the club too. If you're not arsed, cya!

Can't say I'm too upset about that. At times looked solid, but mostly just slow and lumbering.

Was going to watch it as well, glad I didn't bother make the effort.

From what I can tell on the highlights for both the LCL games and even Chelsea, we were competitive. Though Chelsea have just got so much class, it's almost impossible to outdo them. Is Passmoor managing during this tournament? Genuine question...

It's a shame that hopefully there will be more positives to write about next season (for the women's at least), but there's probably not going to be the eyes to see it as only the slightly more hardcore fans that are going to stick around.

Really great news considering the past 2 seasons she's had!

If that is true, then you would like to think a new manager would bounce us back up. We've not got a good enough squad to be mid-table in the WSL, but we definitely have to finish at the top of WSL2. Surely Rick has to be gone... I could not be more certain... But I am continuously proven wrong.

Very organised! You should work for the club! Seem to be more on it than them!

Does anyone else find this 7's tournament really weird? I mean I don't think it's a bad idea necessarily, but the timing of it is... We've just finished the season and we're playing players that will highly unlikely be with us next season... Mayling, Lehmann, Leitzig, Thibaud, Ale (probably too good for the WSL2), Cain, Ayanne, Rantala. Maybe also add Mouchon to that list. Hope we do well, just finding it very odd.

For the finance team, yes. For the fans, no.

It's so disappointing, really thought we'd come away with this okay. But just another poor game. Unfortunately though we, really deserve relegation and Charlton really deserved the promotion. We've been abysmal almost all season, but since Christmas especially so. We've shown nothing and offered nothing. Honestly, similarly to the mens team, this has to be used as a reset to drain the swamp and re-build and bounce back. It's gutting, but it might be nice to see something other than batterings every week from next season...

Few hundred I'd say. Probably similar as to what we got at the Tottenham FA cup semi.

Agreed, we should be the ones on the front foot for a change. Man for man, we have more quality on the pitch, Charlton are out of form and will be gutted to have finished 3rd in a 1 horse race. But... we've not scored 2 goals in 1 game all season and often look like rabbits caught in headlights when under pressure. I can see us easily winning, but also capitulating like we did again Palace in the league cup... Hopefully there being a decent away support will give them a bit of a boost.

It's optimistic to think we will even have 7 players to our name by then! Everyone may be out of contract...

Unfortunately with Las, she's not really fared any better on loan, pretty much just limited to substitution appearances for a really poor Ipswich side. If she can't get in the starting 11 there, I'm worried...

Might need her next season, let along next week. Haven't been able to watch the 2nd half, but disappointing to concede last minute. Hopefully our performance didn't jump off a cliff in the 2nd half?

Not a bad first half, we have a bit more going forward and looking positive. We are a bit obvious in what we are trying to do on each attack, it's always route one to the wings, need to change it up. We do just lack a bit of control and muscle in the middle of the field.

[Joke about there already being 11 disabled people on the pitch]

Surely playoff tickets are released or we're at least given a release date today?

Extremely frustrating that there is another 2 week long wait without a league game and it's not even a international break. I know the game against Everton won't mean anything aside from maybe giving us a bit of momentum, but the way the league is run is like it's Sunday League.

We can't be surprised and/or could not forsee Lehmann being fans player of the season regardless as to how she played, surely? She's got a million x more followers on her socials than the football club has fans, I am sure. Not saying it's right, but it was always happening.

I expect that they come out before the end of the week. Hoping for free coach travel too...

I agree with you on Katie Keane, she gave a really good account of herself today. She made some great stops, but she did have a couple of butter finger moments that she has to be really careful of. I think you're dammed if you do, dammed if you don't with Lauren James. You get close and she skips around you... you stay away, she whips in a worldie. Having watched the highlights, the freekick was a freekick, but again, there's nothing anyone could do about the strike.
