Carla Ward on psychological support in the women’s game: “Too many times, and I’ve said it time and time again, and I feel very strongly about this, players are classed as numbers, not people - that’s not okay. That’s in the game far too much.” #avwfc #BarclaysWSL

Carla Ward: “There is a massive amount of work that needs to be done. For me, psychological support, mental support for players, staff. I sound like a broken record, but at what point is that going to be something that’s put into the licence? We’re talking about human beings.”

Asked Carla Ward if she might return to management as a reformed, boring character…

“Reformed in that I might bring some personality back – I think the job’s sucked the life out of me! I think I used to have a personality but it seems to have disappeared.” #avwfc #BarclaysWSL

Asked Carla Ward about the process with Aston Villa players’ contract renewals, with one manager leaving and another not yet confirmed.

Rachel Corsie confirmed this week as signing a new deal. #avwfc #BarclaysWSL

Carla Ward’s response when I asked if she feels like she’s been able to draw breath in these last few years since becoming a manager.

“The way the women’s game’s going, (infrastructure and staffing) needs to be addressed, otherwise you’ll see more and more managers take breaks.”

Asked Carla Ward what she feels urgently needs to change in the women’s game. Are players and staff currently being listened to enough? #avwfc #BarclaysWSL

Marc Skinner: “I don’t think people are analysing the depth of the game enough in order to see how much detail we go into… There were moments in the first half that we’ve got Tottenham in a deep block because of our counter-marking positions, but people don’t talk about that.”

Marc Skinner: “I think we don’t get the credit that we identified (Grace Clinton’s) qualities from Everton... I don’t think people recognise that there’s a plan for each individual that we bring into the club.” #MUWomen

Marc Skinner: “The analysis sometimes is lazy, and I feel that it needs a little bit more in depth and research. You need to watch games before you have a comment on them; you don’t just need to watch highlights.” #MUWomen

Marc Skinner: “I read a recent report about ‘Manchester United have only used a certain amount of systems this year,’ & that statistically we’re down from last year. Then they put the statistics up & we were up in every one of those statistics – the analysis sometimes is lazy.”
