We set a target of getting four points from these two games and we’ve managed to get six.
We want to finish the season on a high and we want to get another three points when we travel to Leicester City in a couple of weeks’ time in our final game of the season (May 18, kick-off 3pm BST at King Power Stadium).
We know that fourth spot is in our hands. We just need a point and obviously Man United have a tough game against Chelsea, especially with the way the results went at the weekend in the title race.
Knowing Emma Hayes as I do, Chelsea will want to put that Adobe Women’s FA Cup semi-final defeat right at Old Trafford as well and she will want to leave the WSL with the title.
It’s crazy how things can change in a moment, with Arsenal scoring two very late goals to beat Manchester City. It just goes to show you can’t take anything for granted.
But it was a great way for us to finish our time at Prenton Park and we will leave with some great memories.
We have loved playing at Prenton Park but this move next season to St Helens Stadium is the right move for us. We want to do more for our supporters on a matchday and this enables us to do that.
It allows the team and the club to grow more, so from that side this move is important.
We’ve made some great friends at Prenton Park and we are going to miss them dearly. But we are looking forward to recreating at St Helens what we had at Tranmere Rovers.
I want to say congratulations to our U21s, Simon O’Neill, Leandra Little and the staff who lifted the Liverpool County FA Senior Cup on Tuesday night over Mossley Hill Ladies.
It was a fantastic moment for them and great signs for the future. The youth is so important for this football club and I have given players opportunities in the squad this season, like Mia Leath who recently made her debut.
With us all together at the AXA Melwood Training Centre, it gives us the opportunity to look at these players, train with us and give them a chance.
Thank you for your continued support.
YNWA,
Matt
