There’s something uniquely satisfying about watching a footballer grow in front of your eyes. Not simply improving or accumulating minutes, but evolving technically, tactically, physically, and emotionally into a player that embodies the identity of the club they represent — and for Sunderland Women, Jessica Brown has become one of those players. Her journey from […]
In the 1999/2000 season, Peter Reid’s newly-promoted side surprised everyone by sitting in third after nineteen games with thirty seven points. Given how much the Premier League has changed over the years, it’s probably even more of a surprise to many that Regis Le Bris’ side sat seventh after nineteen games on twenty nine points. […]
Brentford Dangerous on the Break Early signs showed that Brentford were direct and keen to punish any misplaced passes.
