But as I made my way around the back of the Kop on Shoreham Street I could make out a faint sound of the music coming from the PA system, before a much louder ‘Toon, Toon, Black and White Army!’ Our lot were here and were in fine voice. Once inside the stadium, there was a buzz surrounding the latest transfer activity this week, with two announced and more on the way.
A tentative start saw Newcastle carve out for the first meaningful chance. Katie Barker sent a cross from the left towards goal, finding Jas McQuade who had set her away during the build-up. But last week’s cup hero saw her effort blocked on the line twice from close range. Before Isabella Sibley could only tap the rebound into the hands of Blades goalie Sian Rogers, who returned in goal for the first time since before Christmas.
Seconds later Demi Stokes had the chance to shoot from the right of the area, but the excellent Fallon Connolly-Jackson closed her down and blocked the shot away. Farrugia went close again just after the break when a dipping half volley towards the top corner was brilliantly pushed over by Moan who had to dive at full stretch.
