    Reality check
    Oct 10 2024
    After a tough run of games with one draw and two losses from the first three games this season, we will be sitting down to discuss what really happened last week for Leicester's Women. Here, we'll be analysing all three games individually and Sophie will be giving us her thoughts on not only what went wrong or right but also where this leaves the team. We'll be discussing the secret behind the very solid performance against Arsenal, the trade off between consistency and squad rotation for the cup game vs Bristol and lastly the very disappointing performance against Palace. What went wrong? Summarised, it's too early to panic but last Sunday was definitely a reality check according to Sophie.
