An improvement on last season’s ninth place finish would be considered a success. But they also hope to attract news fans. It’s still fairly quiet at Broadfield Stadium but they hope that will change.There is a minute's applause before the game to remember Nick Toone, Ella Toone's father, who passed away earlier this month.Manchester United defender Maya Le Tissier spoke to us this week about recently being named captain.
"It’s a big responsibility for how big this club is. It’s a really special feeling that not many people get to experience," added Le Tissier."I wouldn’t have taken up the captaincy if I didn’t think I was ready. It’s a big responsibility but I’ll do my very best to do a good job."Manchester United boss Marc Skinner said he "feels alive again" heading into the new Women's Super League campaign.
"I feel really energetic and I want that to transmit onto the team. I am getting my energy back. Let’s see what we can achieve this season."West Ham had a tough season in the WSL last year, finishing second bottom - albeit nine points clear of the drop. Her absence is precautionary and she is expected to be back in contention for next weekend's game against Everton.Brighton's new boss Dario Vidosic is not thinking about where the club may finish in the Women's Super League this season.
Having secured the signings of forwards Toni Payne and Inma Gabarro from Spanish side Sevilla, as well as attacking midfielder Melissa Lawley from Merseyside neighbours Liverpool, the Toffees will be hoping that they can make a much better goalscoring return this campaign.The opening weekend of the Women's Super League season means we're bound to see plenty of summer signings make their debuts today.
