I won’t bother if the no relegation plan comes in, it’ll just be an excuse not to invest and reduce games to meaningless friendlies with no threat of relegation. 

Agree, but cant say surprised with how the womens game is being governed.

LCFC WOMEN
‘We’ll See’ – Miquel’s Pre-Brighton Fitness Update
Amandine Miquel

Amandine Miquel is hopeful some players could return for Sunday’s Barclays Women’s Super League clash with Brighton, but admits injuries are a concern at present.
We host Brighton at King Power Stadium in the WSL on Sunday
Amandine Miquel has addressed the fitness of her squad this week
Ruby Mace, Lena Petermann and Jutta Rantala continue to be in recovery
Miquel says some other players currently out might play a part this weekend
LCFC Women welcome the Seagulls to King Power Stadium for a 3pm GMT kick-off on Sunday, hoping to go level on points with West Ham in ninth place.
There were updates on Mace, Petermann and Rantala  during Thursday’s press conference, although they are set to continue their rehabilitation from injury. There are other players, too, who have been absent over recent weeks and will continue to be monitored

 

“We’re at our highest level of injured,” Miquel told the media. “Some might come back for this game, half of this game, the other games, but we’ll see on Sunday.”
Mace picked up an injury against Chelsea earlier this month and, while it was not the ACL complaint which was first feared, the England midfielder still requires time.
“First of all, she was a bit worried,” the Manager explained. “Like anyone that saw the action, it doesn’t look ideal. Then knowing it’s not the ACL was great news so now she’s just taking the time to make sure she’s not in any pain and she’ll come back slowly.

“I prefer to not give any [timeframe] because even when we have one, it tends not to be one given. I hope [we’ll see her this season].”
Striker Petermann is another player out at present and is not expected to return soon, but Miquel pointed to the German’s experience in helping her through.
“I doubt that [she will play this season], but miracles happen, why not?” she added. “Obviously, she’s really disappointed with the situation.
“She knows it’s part of the job. We can’t be sure at the start of the season, or a game, that it’s going to go well. She’s experienced enough to know how to deal with those types of situations.”
Rantala is also currently out of contention, and careful work at Belvoir Drive is the order of the day to aid the Finland international’s recovery.
Miquel said: “I don’t know [if she’ll play this season]. I can’t tell you, but we’ll see. It’s ongoing things. It can change every day. Slowly, slowly.”

Shame about Peterman and Rantala in particular, didn't expect to see Ruby again this season, but was hoping we'd see those two.

 

Still think we should have enough to see us through to the end of the season and avoid relegation. Hopefully starting up again with another positive result on Sunday.

Swaby starts. Don't know how Momiki isn't first name on the team sheet...

 

 

[Spacey_Fox]

Yesssssssssssss!¬

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Stunner from O'Brien. 1-0.

[StanSP]

Great goal by O'Brien! Nice driven shot from outside the box low into the corner. 

[StanSP]

Fortunate goalkeeping there... 

[davieG]

Good goal but still too many sloppy passes they’ve got to learn to love the ball. 

[davieG]

Chossenotte looks a bit lightweight and her first touch and control are a bit loose

I see that as a common occurrence for most sides other than the big 5.

 

Very sloppy for the majority of the game and perhaps only patches of good decent football. 

[Spacey_Fox]

Brilliant!!

[SouthStandUpperTier]

2-0 Takarada

[StanSP]

Get in!! 2-0! Takarada free in the box to finish easily. 

[Pita]

Great goal

[StanSP]

3-0! Superb first half performance. 

[Spacey_Fox]

DREAMWORLD 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

3-0 looked like an og.

[Suzie the Fox]

Strange feeling seeing a LCFC team get a goal

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Cain is getting in so often down the right.

[davieG]

Playing some nice football now sweeping passes, running off the ball I hope the men are watching.

And Chossenotte down the left. Lots of space in behind and I doubt that'll change 2nd half. 

[iancognito]

Great play, been all over them since the second goal. Cain's being helped by Brighton apparently not playing full backs today.

 

Another goal and we won't be the lowest scorers in the division.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Close to a 4th. Lovely move.

[StanSP]

Players are getting a battering. Brighton seem quite late to a few challenges. Seem to have overcome the initial pressure after half time.
