Haway the lasses

My mate is there, he's not a football fan at all

 

Scarr and Watson offering nothing up the pitch

 

What's with the aimless long balls? Was exactly the same against them earlier this season. Don't normally play like that either.

 

Charlton at home on Sunday. Tough game

 

A bit more firepower, hopefully




Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce the signing of Marissa Sheva

Born in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, the midfielder started out in college football with Penn State Littany Lions, before moving to Spain to join Deportivo Alavés Gloriosas.

The 27-year-old moved back to the USA shortly afterwards, signing for National Women’s Soccer League side Utah Royals.

Boasting a wealth of NWSL experience, Sheva made the switch to Washington Spirit in 2021, and later her previous club Portland Thorns.

She is also an Irish international, making 11 senior appearances for the national team, and has recently been called up to their squad for the upcoming double-header against Greece next month.

On signing for the Club, Sheva said: "I'm so happy to have signed with Sunderland and be a part of this incredible club. I'm excited to work with Mel, Steph and the group of girls that have been putting in the work all season. We've only got a few games to go, but I'm excited to help the team finish the season strong."

Lasses Head Coach added: "We were made aware of Marissa becoming available in December and have tracked her ever since. We are delighted she wanted to come to Sunderland, we believe she has the attacking qualities to add value to the team and we are excited to see her finish the season with us and hit the ground running into the next."

3-4
maybe too late...

 

HT 0-4
FT 3-4
Not quite enough but so nearly did it

 

Watched it, very good fight back.

 

Good win that. Bottom club Sheff Utd next week. It'll be good to finish the season off with back to back wins. HTL!

 

Dale and Scarr with the goals
Sheva was POTM

 

Not a great season for the lasses but it hasn’t been bad, finished in 7th. Hopefully an improvement to come next season

 

Fair assessment. Enjoyable to watch though so we’ll be getting another season ticket

 

WSL to expand to 14 teams from 2026/27 season.

 

This season is out best chance to get up there ! If anyone is waiting in the wings to invest in the lasses I hope they come forward this season

 

Anyone offer a quick summary of how we performed last season and how we are shaping up for this?

Went to watch the game against the mags last year and thought ede and mcateer were two of the brightest players saw both of them departed

 

I don’t have a clue mate, we’ve lost a lot of quality but on the other hand people that know our new players seem pretty happy as well.
last year we blew hot and cold though, no real consistency like the year before that:

Regardless though we’ve bought our season tickets as ya can’t beat a nice laid back Sunday game of footy at eppleton
