Good afternoon all, and welcome back to Hayes Lane for today’s Championship game against London City Lionesses.
F
irstly can I congratulate Melissa on the outstanding start to the season her staff and players have had. Looking back on the game we had at Dartford FC, we eventually came away losing the game 2-1 but it could have been a different story if we had converted one of the chances we created in the second half. I truly believe that a draw would have been a fair result on that day after what was as very close game.
London City like ourselves come in off the back of a defeat last Sunday, London City to Durham and us to Bristol City, so both teams will be looking for a positive reaction to what, yet again I believe will be a close and welll contested 90 mins. Lastly, just on last week’s performance away to Bristol City I’d like to thank the travelling away fans for turning up in their numbers the best turnout of the season for Bristol in the sense of away support.
the players have trained hard this week to put things right so a reaction is definitely needed to get back on track as a collective
manager
This is something that myself my staff and players are immensely proud off, so disappointed that we played in a manner that wasn’t a true reflection of ourselves this season and one that the badge cannot be proud off. That said the players have trained hard this week to put things right so a reaction is definitely needed to get back on track as a collective team. Please sit back and enjoy, be loud you are needed!!. Best, Dean

feel like none of us in the team expected to be in the position we are now halfway through the season. We’re all pleased with it, but know we’re more than capable of pushing further up the table for the second half of the season. We’re sitting fourth at the moment, three points off second with a game in hand, and I now think as a team we have to target the top spot. Personally I think I’ve really contributed to the season so far, having played a lot of minutes. I think my performances have gone well and added to the team’s points tally, but I know I can improve for the next half of the season. One of the key targets for me is getting onto the scoresheet. I started playing football as soon as I was old enough to walk because I’ve got two older brothers I always played with – they’d stick me in goal and just shoot at me! I’m from the north-west so started my career with Blackburn Rovers and then Liverpool, playing in their Under-23s. After that I moved to Leicester City aged 16 and began my professional career with them. I spent two seasons there before moving to Palace, and couldn’t have asked for a better team to join. I’m one of the youngest in the squad, so feel well looked-after. Thankfully I’ve never normally suffered injuries very easily, and touch wood that continues, but I did break my hip on an England
camp which put me out for a year. That time impacted me mentally more than physically; you feel like you’re back and ready to go but take another knock and are up and down psychologically. My approach was to not rush into things and come back to football when I was ready: your mental health is more important than physical in those situations. Away from football I currently lead coaching sessions at breakfast clubs and after school clubs. It’s part-time so doesn’t impact my football too much, whereas some of
Away from football I currently lead coaching sessions at breakfast clubs and after school clubs. It’s part-time so doesn’t impact my football too much the girls have full-time jobs on top of training and playing. I’m doing my level one coaching licence soon, so am looking to move in that direction. Finally, we’ve got a great group of fans at this club. You even came to Coventry away and other games we wouldn’t expect you to travel to. If we’re struggling for a period our fans get us through it, so it’s nice to celebrate our wins together. Palace as a club, the support we get from the men’s side and our fans makes me want to play for the badge. charley Clifford
