MY THOUGHTS ON THE GAME
Blues finish of 2023 on top of the championship table that win against Southampton on the first of October was the catalyst to get use on this amazing run the players are in it together win or lose their show the commitment and desire and show what it means to represent this club. Today we seen both sides to are game defensively and in an attacking threat people who don’t get the credit their deserve like Moore Agg Herron were superb today . And also, the goals were quality like Agg’s opener and Jades goal were all about the quality .
MY PLAYER OF THE MATCH
I have to go for Jade Moore she was brilliant today breaking up play going into tackles and driving with the ball and getting a fully deserved goal to. I was worried when she got a yellow card in the first half, but she did brilliantly to keep her composure, so she deserves it.
NEXT UP
Are next game is in the new year on the 14th of January in the FA Cup against Burnley and its a 13:00 kick off
