It's just such a "ok, well we probably won't get relegated" decision. Which a) this early in the season smacks of unbelievable complacency and b) trust me guys, you might get relegated

Villa confirming now, when he's managed a grand total of one league game, that Sorenson will be interim until the end of the season, is such a bizarre decision

She seems to see Le Tissier in the same vein and uses her the same way, but she's not Lucy Bronze (no one is). If Wiegman continues beyond the world cup, it'll be interesting to see if/how this evolves, because I think the FB setup is very much designed around Bronze at the moment.

There are a few knocking about Wiegman just doesn't seem bothered. Right back belongs to Bronze as long as she is available and I don't think she cares who plays at left back because if Bronze is playing they're essentially functioning like a third CB, hence why she's happy to play Greenwood there

Interested to see whether that evolves into a new look midfield with either LBB next to Walsh or Potter gets the nod if she can keep her place in the Chelsea team with Cuthbert coming back and continue improving. Could be the refresh this team needs.

Catching up on the highlights from last night, several observations: Laurens Hemp & James, absolutely unplayable Really liked Stanway in the more advanced role, made sense to try Potter alongside Walsh as it's been working well for Chelsea but she seemed to struggle at times

Passed up going to see the Lionesses at the KP tonight to go and see Bolton away at the Molineux.. what have I become etc (Really could not pass up the opportunity to give it some in the away end. I have no men's football allegiance per se, but I have been raised to hate Wolves)

Started making myself what I'm calling bougie bagels* on the regs and it's a game changer. Great way to use up random stuff from the fridge and feels like a treat. Today's is halloumi and chilli jam with an egg for good measure. * Probably not that bougie but I normally just stick butter on them

Charli Parkes @charliparkes.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
I also don't actually think beyond Hemp, LBB and Walsh any of that first XI are in particularly sparkling form. We had one striker in the squad who we subbed off. As you say happy with job done really and hope for better tomorrow. They always seem to perform quite well at the KP (someone's got to).

There are teams above Greece in the rankings we would probably blow away, there are teams near or below the we might struggle with.
000
Charli Parkes @charliparkes.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
The other team is allowed to be up for it - they want to qualify for the world cup too. People bemoan "pointless" games where we steamroll the opponent and don't learn anything, then crash out if we don't blow a team away based on FIFA rankings

Charli Parkes @charliparkes.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
We had introduced some different personnel that don't play together that often - namely LBB and MLT who were trying to combine down the right. We even tried some new things with pushing Walsh further forward (as that's her new thing)

I was away on Friday and only saw the first half of England's game, just catching up on some of the reaction and I don't get the big deal that it wasn't like 7-0 or something? I thought Greece looked well organised, keeper made some good saves in the first half.

Yeah how are you getting 10 hours out of the Philosopher's Stone?! Is there an episode dedicated to Professor Quirrell's back story?

She impressed me, I think Toone in form yes I'd agree, but LBB has more energy and confidence at the moment. The questionable thing for me is Walsh running into that space, she's been excellent more advanced for Chelsea this season, but not that advanced Sarina, calm down

The first goal was a gift but Sunderland have generated 3.03xG and scored 3, we're just allowing teams to pile on because we've got nothing to answer with

Charli Parkes @charliparkes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
There's no reason we should expect to be beating every team in the league just because we've just come from the WSL, but to not even be able to make life difficult for them and compete with them is what's unacceptable.

No identity, no plan, he's just shouting random shit from the touchline. You can talk about winning duels, but we can't string two passes together when we win the ball back at the moment. I can't believe we didn't sack him at the end of last season, but to keep him in post now would be inexcusable.

I can't watch any more. This has to be the end of Passmoor. It's simply not good enough.

As annoying as it is as a fan when there is no discernible plan, it must be so irritating as a player to have constant noise. How do genuine tactical instructions get through when they must just be tuning him out?!
