Our ongoing issue over the past few seasons is that we fail to adapt when things dont go the way we expect them to & fall apart when something changes or goes wrong. It seems to be an issue that spans at least 3 managers & a revolving door of players. How do we identify what the issue is & fix it?

hello you are completely allowed to ask but it is a very long answer but I think this thing I wrote in may mostly covers it No Ethical Football Under Capitalism medium.com/@feverbitch/...

we are already seeing a drop in numbers across the board and if we dont capitalise on another hot lionesses summer despite having loads of english players on our team i can see someone else overtaking us

sorry I just considered the very funny and unlikely possibility of us getting relegated but still qualifying for uwcl because we somehow also win the champions league

I think they need to start realising that the key to retaining those numbers is results...

I am against what LCL stand for but I loooooooved them losing to West Ham but thumping Spurs. Absolutely loved it. It's almost camp

I agree but then you need to look at our hiring processes and wonder why we haven't been bringing in coaches who provide what we need

anyway my unqualified solution for this is an external review where they get various experts to come in and look at what is going wrong over the course of a couple of months/season because it feels like all of the players and staff might be too far into it to recognise the problem

yeah i get where you are coming from with this. it very much feels like there is the game plan and then anything outside of that is wrong and bad and cannot be handled

is it in the food? the water? I need to know if someone is investigating

anyway I am not going to dwell on this any longer as I do not get paid to do it. people who get their paychecks from arsenal can worry about it. i get my paycheck for clowning about and talking about the right way to eat a scone and I am going to put my energy into that

there is a third option that I haven't entirely ruled out, which is that we have been cursed but if that is the case I want clare wheatley herself leading the etsy witchhunt

anyway I would love to know if the club recognises this as an issue and how it plans to deal with it because the time is ideally now for sorting this

are we putting pressure on the players in a way that is not productive or healthy? do we need to send them all away on a meditation retreat? are they all vitamin d deficient? how do we fix an issue that we know exists but can't identify the root cause of?

other top-performing teams are not suffering with this issue on a longterm basis. our players don't suffer with this issue when they play for other teams. I'm sure the team works with sports psychologists? are they doing their job correctly? do we need to provide the players with different support?

I can only really put it down to either the players we have remaining from that season (I think only leah and kim) being so inflexible that it spreads throughout the team or (what it most likely is) something in the culture of the women's team that is holding us back

when things are going our way we tend to play well but we rarely respond positively to changes to our regular starting 11, substitutions, conceding a goal etc etc. this has been a longstanding issue & it is difficult to identify the root considering the player/manager turnover in the last 7 years

egg with a witch's hat @feverbitch.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
a major issue i have felt with awfc for years has been that the team lacks adaptability/resilience. we rarely respond well to change whether that is on a large or a small scale and we completely fall apart when things stop going our way. this has been the case since I became a fan in 2019

listen football keeps happening whether you like it or not... it will be bad until it's good and then one day it will be bad again. it is not worth crashing out over and I won't be doing that because I am entering my cool aunt era and I need to learn to be a good example to a baby

also the fact that my discord dn is bald and that my bluesky dn is egg related does make it sound like I might be bald i promise I have hair
