BRISTOL CITY boss Lauren Smith has stressed her bottom-placed side are not “down and out.”

The Robins were left three points adrift of safety at the foot of the Women’s Super League table last Sunday as they were beaten 2-1 at home by 11th-placed West Ham.

Following their promotion back to the top flight last season, they have accrued only five points from their 12 WSL games so far.
