first game back on home pitch since the summer break - 55 days!!!! we were all hungry to be back together, both fans and players alike and today’s game really proved it especially coming from the players. I think maybe just several minutes into this game, something felt different about this bay team when they had possession. There have been bits and pieces of this feeling in the first half of this season and rarely felt in the last two seasons but that feeling was massively consistent in this game specifically. When bay had possession, they actually knew what to do with the ball! passes clicked, off-ball movement had intention, high pressure defense was really, really good. If bay got dispossessed, they tried damn hard to win it back. this was what I’ve been wanting to see from bay and boy it did not disappoint. emma coates pretty much says what I want to say in the post-game conference. wish I could give multiple POTMs. Lema for the 2-minute brace, Moreau for the insane defensive play, Silky for 2 clean sheets in a row. The entire midfield changing the game for us UGH I weep at the thought of how young our midfield is and how INCREDIBLE they are and they’re not even at their peak yet!!! what the hell! 🥹😭 massive shout out to emma coates though. She’s brought something to bay fc that we really needed. It’s definitely a work in progress but undoing what montoya and lucy rushton did (or didn’t do) will be a lot of work bc those two fucked up a lot of things. some pics from the game from my season ticket seats! and have to include the starting xi roll call clip as it’s always fucking hype. bonus halftime corgi race (corgi named captain won).
