Just to pre-empt transfer questions, I don’t have a lot of solid information on anything at the moment and if / when I do, I probably won’t drop it in this newsletter :) More general transfer / contract questions are, of course, fine and welcome if that’s what is on your mind!
Hi Tim, I hope you’ve recovered from the emotional rollercoaster of that Conti Cup Final! I have a question about our coaching setup. I can’t help but feel as though our set pieces have been absolutely rubbish this season. I can only recall 3 goals from corners in the WSL, and all of them benefited from defensive mistakes (this is obviously a huge contrast to our Men’s Team). Who coaches our set pieces now, and would it be possible for Nicolas Jover to ‘double shift’ and impart some of his set-piece knowledge onto the coaches and players?
I always find Jonas an incredibly smart football mind tactically. Whether on the BBC or after our games (win or lose) I usually agree with his observations. However, could he potentially improve his management and motivation of players? Just wondering if that's why he hasn't achieved as much yet as we'd expect from someone as smart as him? Alternatively, does he need a coaching addition who's a bit of a "player whisperer", like it's rumoured Lydia Bedford was when we had her for that half-season?
