Bristol City Vixencast

Have we finally arrived in the WS Hell?

After two absurd drubbings - 5-2 at Leicester and 3-7 at home, to Brighton & Hove Albion - it looks like the end of the top flight road for Bristol City Women. And it's only the start of March.

Where do we go from here?

Nat & D-M try to understand what happened in our last two league encounters. Not sure we get to the bottom of it!

We also discuss the 'Future Indirect Fires Conference', which took place at Ashton Gate 5-6 March.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

City Women lose on the road, that wasn't meant to happen! Foiled by a last minute Terland strike in an entertaining ding dong against a determined Brighton & Hove Albion side.

Join us as we relive what was - nonetheless - a fun away day.

D-M speaks with several City Women supporters (and one BHAWFC fan) about Saturday night transfer news dropping; Panini Stickers; everything that happened on a windy Sunday afternoon in Crawley, and the looming battle with West Ham.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

D-M and Nat giddily skip through a 1-1 draw away at Liverpool, an excellent point that leaves us sitting pretty in 11th, one ahead of a hapless West Ham United.

Amalie Thestrup's insouciant heeled goal - her fifth of the season - enabled City Women to take a share of the spoils in Birkenhead.

This was a solid performance from the whole team, with Syme and Mustaki stepping in with great distinction, and Mari Ward showing promising menace off the bench.

What does Lauren Smith have up her sleeve for when the transfer window opens? Only time will tell, but all we want for Xmas is Rachel Rowe.

COYR!

Bristol City Women slip to a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in front of a record-breaking crowd at Ashton Gate stadium.

Just over 14,000 people flocked to BS3 to watch a solid performance with plenty of stand-out defensive moments.

While at least half the crowd were there to see ex-Vixen and now football legend Mary Earps, it was the shot-stopping of City keeper Liv Clark that caught the eye.

City will take much heart from a game which saw us struggle to effectively link defensive, midfield and attacking play.

Make no mistake, this was a battling effort, and will add fuel to our fire when we face Liverpool after the international break.

COYR!

Well, that was a bit disappointing, wasn't it?

Not our podcast, silly! We're talking about Bristol City Women's 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on a dreary Sunday at Ashton Gate.

We struggle to pick out the positives from a lack lustre and low energy performance which sees us slip back to the bottom of the WSL.

But we do try and make sense of what happened, and what needs to be different next time at Everton when we go again.

COYR!

Toot toot! All aboard the away day train!

D-M and Nat are joined by a bumper crew (Shahan, Dan, Magda, Dave and Mike) on a victorious journey to Dagenham East to watch City Women convincingly beat West Ham to claim our first W of the WSL season.

Our hearty travellers were treated to an entertaining 3-2 victory with goals from Amalie Thestrup, Ella Powell and Brooke Aspin.

We talk about the season so far and reflect on the talking points from a very satisfying win on the road, a game which saw the return of the one and only Abi Harrison.

Bring on Arsenal (Thursday) and Villa (Sunday).
