Jo Potter's December triumph as WSL2 Manager of the Month is a testament to her team's grit and determination! In a whirlwind December, Palace Women showcased their prowess, securing two impressive victories. They dominated at home, crushing second-place Birmingham City with a resounding 3-0 score, and then clinched a hard-fought 3-2 win away against third-place Bristol City.
These crucial six points propelled Palace up the rankings, landing them in fifth place. And here's where the excitement really builds: Potter's squad is now tantalizingly close, just three points away from a coveted play-off position!
Upon receiving the well-deserved award, Potter humbly acknowledged the collective effort. She emphasized the crucial role of her staff and every player involved, highlighting their dedication during a challenging pre-Christmas period. She rightly stated, "I think it was deserved for the whole team and the whole squad."
The selection process for this prestigious award involved an independent panel of experts. This panel included esteemed LMA Members, insightful pundits, former professional players, and respected journalists from the women's game.
