2-1 Dismal! Although it did look like the second Leicester goal came from a foul throw at the start of the move.

Double relegation fears now well and truly justified unless they can grab an equaliser in the last couple of minutes.

Five defenders in the box, yet they decided to leave the goalscorer completely free and only lunge across at the last moment in a vain attempt to block her shot! :evil:

A case of "What the men can do, we can do as well"?

Pretty much like the men's team - just two shots on target compared to Leicester's 8!

Sat back knowing a point would probably be good enough to stay up. Made to pay for sitting so deep.

Exactly that, and the substitutions confirmed that intent. Crazy IMO to take off Harries when her pace and physicality meant that Leicester had to constantly be aware of her when she was on the pitch.

That's the problem when they share a training ground with Ince and his coaching team!

Showed more urgency in the last 6 mins of injury time than in the entire game. When are either of our teams going to learn that we’re not good enough to sit deep. It is ok if you have the George Graham Arsenal back four…otherwise..try and score!

Any other club Chambers would have been sacked ages ago. Only 3 women managers in the WSL. Only Emma Hayes is any good and she has the biggest budget to work with.

In her defence, Kelly has done far better than several of our men's team managers with equally, if not more, limited resources for the respective levels in the game that they are competing at.

Also, I hadn't realised until recently, that she is being asked to perform two pretty much full-time jobs - 1st Team Manager and Director of Women's football, covering all teams down to U13 I believe. So doubtless she is struggling to manage to give them both as much time as she would like to and they need. Oh, and she's mum to a young child and her husband is her Assistant Manager!

At least she accepts responsibility when things go wrong, doesn't come out with numerous ridiculous excuses (and the small squad have suffered long term injuries to key players e.g, Deanne Rose) and definitely doesn't throw her players under the bus!

I have more confidence in her managing to pull survival out of this sh*tshow than her male counterpart.

Big respect to her.

Just a pity that the woman's game is following the same £ superiority path as the mens has.

Just look at the rapid rise of the Man U £adies…..bought-in success

If the men go down I don`t think it will be sustainable to stay in the WSL anyway.
