Yeah the motion on this is making me queasy, I'm out. I hope they have a better camera somewhere in the ground for the highlights.

It has got me thinking are the northern teams better than their southern counterparts. 🤔. The playoff final maybe unknown territory. 

Give them too much respect and it could cost us.

Go at them, and they could pick you off...

Hang on, what's the sceanrio where it works in our favour again? 🙂

[Dr Who?]

1-0

[striker]

1-0 nice cross. Looking at the results Hudds has been playing well. Beat the 2nd place team, and lost 2-1 to the 1st.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Yeeees!

[Dr Who?]

Half time 1-0

Settled after the goal and played some good stuff.

controlled it well after going ahead. Didn;t allow them back into it.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Forced a good save from their keeper there.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Yesss!

[striker]

Seem to be taking it to them now. We look to have more goals in us

Fantastic run right at the end. Deserved another.

[Saint_clark]

Well done girls. Will be a travesty if they don't get promoted now at the end of all this. 

Hope there's a stream for the playoff.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

That's Full Time. Saints energy levels and work rate were too much for Huddersfield. We dominated more and more a sit went on. Congratulations to the team and management. And thanks to the people behind giving us a stream of the match.

I would not rely on the club to sort out the stream. I would love to do it on my phone, but feel a) it would be crap and b) my battery will die. 

May need Wolves like Huddersfield to stream like today will be the more likely option.

Again comes from the opposition club! 🙄

Yeah. I always like to thank them, even if it's on our fans forum, that they will never see.  🙂

It's incredible that a club with our resources can't send someone from their media team along with a camera/ shaky phone. Teirs of men's football, way down the pyramid manage to do it. But it's somehow beyond us for the women's team.

And it was well worth the watch too. Shouldn't have to wait for a promotion to be getting on with even some basic coverage. That run down the left wing, going into added on time was great to watch. Shows the level of commitment they have, right to the end.

Ella Morris. She's actually a right back. Consistently good. Work rate wise the whole team have been like this all season.

Her and her sister Caitlin are both saints fans I believe. 

Caitlin Morris is also my favourite women's player for reasons.

You'd expect the club would recognise their success, maybe a lap of honour with the trophies at the Palace game next week

The double in 4 days.

Great idea, let’s hope they do it at half time.

Very likely from Wolves - if you look at their Ladies team Facebook page they are miles more active than we are.

the write up from Saints FC

That is about as half arsed as most of the ladies stuff out of Saints - with comments of the “hosts” and “visitors” in a Cup Final at a neutral venue? 
“Both teams in yellow to confuse matters”.

Read it twice to make sure!

So did I. Perhaps somebody is blue, white and yellow colour blind? Or wasn't there? Or drunk?

It reads like it was written by someone who doesn’t really understand football.

The photo is credited to an official Saints photographer who has a back catalogue of mens, womens and academy shots. Maybe they just got her to write it, and it’s not her forte.

The trouble is that ultimately they have not won the League and Cup double (yet), that will only happen when the play-off against Wolves takes place. What we have done so far is won the League Cup and the Southern Premier Division. Shame really that the play-off is after our last home match of the season (assuming Liverpool is rescheduled before 22 May which it has to be).

They have done the double and win or lose the playoff they will still have won the double. But I get your point, the main prize is the promotion, which will have a trophy, so will that be the treble, if we win.

You're very kind! Just watched the highlights: some cracking goals and a fair few Saints fans from the sound of it.

No I fully agree. I am confused to why the club do not put more into this kind of thing.

Maybe it was a muddled attempt to ask why we had to use our away kit when we could have simply played in red and white? Instead we ended up with two teams playing in blue!

If you have a look at the coverage of the our Southampton Woman's team it is much better than the one connected to the club. Wolves put us to shame. 

Also we do not have a separate woman’s team page, it is all lumped in and lost among the mens team.

Looks like the one on the left is definitely having her share of the spoils.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Job has been done, but it's a point against a team who weren't that far away. Although I imagine they're now aware of the performance levels they'll need to bring to the play off. No taking the foot off there.

To be fair, we also rested a few of our big hitters. Kendall, Mott, Pharoah, Ware, Freeland etc
