I was so impressed with Maddison’s mindset, with how brave she is.

I know firsthand how easy it can be to feel limited by a neurodivergent ‘condition’. Maddison sees opportunities.

It was a joy to speak to her. Read her quotes here 👇🏼

Tried to put into words just how underappreciated this player can be. Hope I did her justice. 🤞🏼

Last season and maybe start of this we thought DvD was undroppable as first choice keeper. But it seems that Borbe just might have dethroned her… or do you think this is all still just injury related?

Yes I 100% agree.

This switch makes so much sense for her. Why play for a federation (Jamaica) that consistently dismisses their women’s team, when you can play for the 2 time Euro’s champions?

So yes, my mind went the same way yours did

Loved reading this!

Huge, huge loss for Wales

WSL Football Ltd, who run the league, face a conundrum. Is scheduling a zero-sum game?

I conducted a survey among 300+ fans to find out.

In the past 2 WSL games we’ve seen that once our tactics have been ‘found out’ and the opponent has adjusted accordingly, we seem to fall flat. Do you think we need more tactical flexibility?

The UEFA Women’s Champions League is back!

Had the pleasure of speaking to Dutch international Jackie Groenen about PSG’s approach to this new campaign, after they went out in the qualifying stages last season. Also asked her about PSG’s new signings.

Was a pleasure to work with @lambertsmarc.bsky.social on this one.

Will HERA United win the Champions League in 10 years? They have said they want to. It will be interesting to see how they will do. Read more into their formative story, data and similarities with LCL here 👇🏻

What is it that they have, according to you. And: Does this, and if so, how does it relate to our performance on Saturday? (2/2)

It’s not the Chelscast, but let’s draw a comparison here anyway. Chelsea were drab against Villa but won 3-1. They were drab against Leicester but held on to a 1-0. There’s a reason they constantly manage to win, despite not always playing well. Season in, season out (1/2)

She was phenomenal.
