Could be Galton at left back, or a 3-4-3 for us. Possibly the latter since Okvist and Smith are available on the bench. Press and Heath start together for the first time. And Sigsworth is back on the bench. Alex Morgan not even on the bench for Spurs, so she's still not ready yet.

 

[Ubik]

Dammit, thought it was on FA Player but it's on BT Sport.

 

[jojojo]

We're looking a bit jittery at the moment. Not much rhythm on either side.

 

[Dudu]

Decent possession, not doing much with it so far. Very rusty.

 

[Maestro14]

Heath with a 1v1, but the keeper saves.

 

[Ubik]

Have to score that.

 

[Dudu]

What a chance. Should have scored.

Poor finish.. straight at the keeper.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

needed to take a touch first.

 

[Carolina Red]

This is being broadcast on NBCSN here in the US this morning.

 

[Dudu]

Probably should have passed there..

The First Ladies game I’ve seen in yonks. Quite enjoying it, although our keeper looks a bit dodgy. A bit of bite in midfield which is nice to see...
All in all it’s more fun that watching the chaps team so far.
Are the goals smaller in the ladies game?

 

[Dudu]

Position of the Corner kick ball

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Is this what a match day thread is like without the hate!

the two Americans look like they need a bit of sharpness.

 

[Maestro14]

Decent effort by Zelem.

 

[Dudu]

ooo great move! Nearly.

 

[Ubik]

Getting a bit testy with Green

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Crunching tackle from the young Ladd!

Starting to see a few glimpses though. Heath in particular with her first touch and quick feet

 

[Ubik]

Similar story, a lot of the game and some good chances, need to put them away.

indeed. As a spectacle it’s a shame this wasn’t a few games further into the season. Would be great to see those two up to full spread and Morgan playing as well.

Going to be long wait too, as the reverse fixture is one of our last games of the season

 

[Dudu]

Toone on for Ladd. Attacking move

 

[Maestro14]

Yes Millie! That one's been coming. 1-0

 

[Carolina Red]

Goal!

Saved Russo’s bacon there, too. She had an easy lay off to Tobin.

 

[Dudu]

YESSS. Millie Turner!

 

[Ubik]

Finally! Bad choice from Russo previously, glad to finally get a good set piece in.

 

[cj_sparky]

Morgan's brushed off early on Kennedy that's for sure.

 

[Carolina Red]

Looked like she was brought down in the box there

 

[Sandikan]

Never realised it was on BT before, so having a bit of a watch.
Struggle to feel anything either way, but if we win, I'll be giving it loads that this was the real Tottenham v United game

 

[Dudu]

6 mins?! Whaat.

 

[Maestro14]

Held on a bit in the end, but another win. Top of the league!

 

[Ubik]

Nice win, Spurs barely threatened outside of the very beginning. Good bounce back after the midweek disappointment.

 

[Dudu]

FT. 1 - 0.

That was a grind! Team yet to really click together but 3 Points and hardly troubled by Spurs tbh - who I think didn't have a single shot on target.

Had to work hard for that, a scrambled result but we got there. Midfield misfiring today and again, not as sharp in front of goal or from setpieces as we ought to be.

 

[Grande]

Jackie Groenen player of the match by BBC. Wonder how the regular eleven will look when the dust has settled.

 

[sillwuka]

I have to admit Heath and Press have me interested in the team but definitely paying attention to Groenen, you can tell she's got a high football iq.

 

[redshaw]

Great result. Doing the club proud again.

 

[Lightbringer]

GET IN!!!!!!!!!! Where is the celebration? This was exactly what the doctor ordered! Two games in 5 days with lots of injuries. Lost the first game and to save the season we needed a win - and thats what we did. Wins like this is what will take us to the top 3. Got to grind out some wins as well and we managed to do so! I am very happy :-)

Alessia Russo continues to impress, if I didn't know different i'd say she watched videos of Claudio Caniggia when she was growing up!

And hats off to Barnet FC, quite simply the best camera angles i've seen at any game at any level for yonks, hope the Man City Academy TV crew were watching looking for ideas as theirs is by far the worst. And all that money they've spent!
