[I haven't followed the reaction particularly but] I thought it was a bit of slack performance rather than anything, lot of bad decisions / executions in final third which could / should have been more goals. But eh, it happens, and plenty of reasons for it as you've said below. Not upset by 3-1

Not a very clean performance by England there. 3-1 probably means they have to take the second leg at least semi-seriously

I thought the Boys was a really great concept that just became childish bollocks almost immediately after the first season

New WOMEN OF STEEL is out - a maddening defeat, a possible goal of the season, a spotlight on Charlie Devlin, and a round-up of WSL2 all here as United close out the first block of fixtures before the international break: womenofsteel.substack.com/p/md5-united...

Also hit woodwork three times v Durham but at least we had the good sense to put four shots past the goalkeeper too

I'm sure every fan thinks their team have been unlucky but I really do think United are millimetres away from having 6-7 more points from their opening games. They hit the woodwork twice again yesterday at 0-0 (including this one), inside of the post against Leicester at 0-1, same against Wolves...

I don't know why, on a pitch specifically designed to play football, but games always look incredibly hard work here

No Gonzalez or Barmore = this game is going to be quite, quite painful viewing unless you enjoy seeing the Patriots get a shoeing, which I acknowledge is a large proportion of the NFL viewership

If Man Utd don't drop a hammer on Durham tonight like they did to us last week then I'm going to be very annoyed. This is a team that was rushing to take injury time corners at 10-1

Goooood morning, wrote about a super performance from United that lifts them off the bottom of #WSL2, and also how the Blades targeted the left side of Durham's defence with a rotating cast of runners from deep:

Feels strange seeing that the shot count was only 20-19 in United's favour yesterday as that really was a battering. The Blades racked up 3.86xG to Durham's 0.83 - hopefully an indicator that we can indeed be a team that's a cut above the bottom sides this year.

Ben Meakin @bnmkn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Still buzzing this morning after yesterday's win. I get that Durham look likely to be the worst team in the league but it was so important we put them to the sword. Lucy Quinn has jumped to the top of WSL2's chances created stats too, pretty good

Ben Meakin @bnmkn.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
They've come out pretty strong this half but I just thought they'd have much more control in games than they have in the ones I've watched so far. Attack and defence looks great on paper

Burnley looking pretty game against Bristol City in WSL2 so far, if it carries on like this I may have to concede that I wildly overrated City before the season

I'm sort of the opposite, I'll be terrible in any years post-covid which is when I basically stopped paying attention to the premier league in a huff at how badly we did 😅
