Another League Cup game in the odd little leagues they start the competition with. Saints headed to the rainy home of Dagenham & Redbridge to face a team that hadn’t started their league season very well (currently bottom of the WSL), but are top of the League Cup Group C standings with two wins from two matches, after beating Charlton 5-1 and Brighton 2-1. Saints sit third in the Group C table as the highest-ranked WSL2 team after beating Portsmouth 1-0. But after losing to Brighton, Saints needed a win to have any chance of progressing to the quarter-final stage.

Charlton have had a good start to the season, and sit top of the table, winning 6 of their 8 games, losing none, but it was Saints who had the better of a lot of the first half, with Megan Collett having the first real shot of the game, a long-range strike that dipped just behind the crossbar. Chloe Peplow also tried a long-range shot, which missed the target. Then, ten minutes before half-time, against the run of play, Charlton scored with a lofted attempt from long range, seeing Saints go into the break 1-0 down.

Saints put in a good performance against WSL side Brighton in the League Cup. Brighton fielded not only ex-Lioness Fran Kirby, but the Summer’s European Championship player of the tournament, Michelle Agyemang, while Saints made changes and fielded some of their young players.

Four days after a 1-0 League Cup win for Saints at Eastleigh’s Silverlake Stadium, they face Portsmouth again, this time at Fratton Park in the league. In this fixture last season, Saints put 5 past Portsmouth.

Saints made changes, and, due to the good form of Issy Watts, fit-again Megan Collett was pushed forward, with Elle Brazil dropping to the bench.
