There were a lot of positives but a few negatives to from the 4-0 win against Yeovil on Sunday.

So what did we learn? Quite a lot, actually, including a thrashing of Spurs, missing players, returning players and a defender crisis….

7Injury worries in defensive positions continue

Injury to Leah Williamson exposes lack of cover at centre back and in defensive midfield.

We finished the game with Louise Quinn alongside the very reliable Dominique Janssen with Jordan Nobbs and Danielle Van De Donk as the double pivot.

It is quite striking that there is actually no cover at all in the defensive midfield position and Development team players are actually next in queue.

Ava Kuyken is injured at the moment, while Miri Taylor and Beth Lumbsden are just back from injury.

Options at centre back are getting thin as well.

As mentioned above with Jemma Rose and Vyan Sampson’s uncertain status, and Josephine Henning and Jessica Samuelsson currently injured, there is no specialist cover at all.

Development Team players like Shannon Cooke and Georgia Eaton-Collins, both England u18 players, are next in queue.
