Women's Super League: Leicester City out to prove naysayers wrong - Willie Kirk

Boss Willie Kirk says seeing Leicester City "written off by everybody" in the Women's Super League relegation battle is a major motivator in their fight to survive.

Leicester are bottom of the table with just two wins from 13 games.

Their nearest rivals Brighton are two points clear with game in hand.

"People think relegation is already decided. It will be very sweet come the end of the season when we stay up and prove those people wrong," Kirk said.

"It's not a lot of people, but everyone who has written us off.

"No-one wants to be in a relegation battle, but we are in one and we have embraced it."

Kirk has overseen both Leicester's league wins this season, having replaced Lydia Bedford as manager in November after the Foxes failed to win any of their first six games.

It was four months into the campaign before they picked up their first points, beating Brighton.

A vital win against Liverpool in February was sandwiched between defeats by both Manchester City and Manchester United to leave Leicester languishing at the foot of the table with nine games remaining.

Last season, four wins and a draw was enough to keep the Foxes in the top flight.

Leicester forward Hannah Cain says their latest relegation battle has been "gruelling".

"It's a situation that no-one wants to be in, but we come in every day and we know what we have to do and we know how hard we have to work to get out of it," she told BBC East Midlands Today.

"It's not going to be an easy task, but we know it's one we can do.

"It's very close at the bottom. There are a few at the bottom that are in the battle, not just us."

The Foxes next host mid-table side Everton at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.

I’m taking my daughter today today for her first experience of the king power. How busy does it get?

West Stand only, be about half of it open today so around 2,500-3,000. Concourse can be a bit busy at half time because it’s not the biggest but the stand will be fine I’d have thought.

Two good results for Leicester with BHA and Spurs both losing.  But they can't just rely on others - today's game is very winnable but the usual attacking issues still remain.  Off the bottom if they do nick it.

Need to break the habit of getting to the edge of the box and going backwards.

Watched the Chelsea game earlier, granted it’s a top of the league clash but that game made me think they could beat our men’s team at the minute - this is worlds apart. What a difference in the quality of those teams in the same league

also where are Bott and Simon, Eaton-Collins unsurprisingly doesn't offer much going forward and Wheelan is never wide either

please stop playing players out of position with both Goodwin and Jones on the bench there is no reason to play Wheelan as a winger

How come there's so much stoppage time?

ref liked her whistle and players and ref (who caught a clearance in the face) went down all the time also I think IFAB issued a directive to ref stoppage time more like World Cup

Keeper is possibly top WSL standard. Pretty much the rest, bottom of the table WSL standard sadly.  There seems to have been a real drop off in performance levels too, after we had come back after christmas looking like a different team.  The same happened when Lydia Bedford took over, a short lived new manager bounce, then back to looking like they have no idea again. It will take one hell of a poor side to finish below our ladies sadly.
