West Brom Women: Siobhan Hodgetts-Still sends message to fans after draw v Burnley
West Brom Women boss Siobhan Hodgetts-Still has sent a message to the fans who turned up to watch her side draw 1-1 with Burnley at The Hawthorns on 10 March.
Albion looked to use the home crowd to their advantage with a more attacking display than we have seen in the past, taking the lead in the first half, before Burnley bounced back in the second.

Taking to X after the result, the boss wrote: “A hard-earned point for us. Proud of the team’s performance. Thank you to everyone who showed up and supported us at The Hawthorns.”

The team was expected to receive a warm welcome and a boost from their supporters at The Hawthorns in their visit, and that is just what they got as the crowd helped them to a fast start and ultimately to secure an important point.
Having fallen to a 3-1 defeat when they faced Burnley in November, Hodgetts-Still’s side saw a marked improvement on the previous result and performance – something which has become a trend in recent weeks.
A penalty defeat against Wolves in the Birmingham County Challenge Cup also saw a recognisable improvement on former displays, with Warner sharing her pride in the team and what they had done despite the ultimate outcome.
Their next game at a men’s team’s stadium will come at the home of rivals Wolves as they travel to Molineux looking to take revenge for their 2-2 draw and subsequent defeat on penalties the last time the Black Country rivals met.
