I think the answer to your final question is only for publicity purposes St Charles. Having seen a mixed game in which a good female player was totally lost because she couldn't work out why the men couldn't/wouldn't pass to her or was that to anyone? She played a game like teenage academy boys. She was expecting passes, she was running into spaces and she wasn't just chasing the ball. Unfortunately only one of the men involved was good enough to work out what she was trying to do and as a bonus when she did get onto the ball despite her own team she was often muscled, or simply outweighed, off it.

I think it would be hard for a woman former player to appreciate everything about the male game and manage men....... but then men think they can understand the women's game ........ and that could be a case of testosterone clouding their judgement.
