As in 2019 I wanted to keep the Team Of The Month going into 2020 but as always want to try and make it better while doing it. The first month was an interesting one where got to see 4 games played. The first was a trip away to Castlecroft to see Wolvehampton Wanderers beat Birmingham West Midlands 2-0 on the 5th of Jan. That was followed up by Birmingham West Midlands drawing 2-2 with The New Saints at Boldmere on the 12th. The hatrick of Birmingham West Midlands games was completed when I got to see a new team in Redditch United Women in a very tough and competitive game Birmingham West Midlands walked out 2-1 winners. But as you will see by my Team Of The Month, Redditch left a lasting impression. The final game of the Month came when it was Women’s FA Cup time as Aston Villa Women took on Birghton & Hove Albion that saw the Super League team get the 2-3 victory and Villa’s FA Cup dream’s end.
This is my starting 11 from the games I got to see, the rating’s as simply 90 + how many times I saw them play in the month, which seemed a fair way of rating each player. As always I picked 20 players and this I moved it into a starting 11.
Many players I could of included and were on the shortlist as well. As always it was a fantastic month of Football that hopefully February can also compete with as well.
The Coaches for January were an easy choice with Marcus Webber the Birmingham West Midlands manager not only for his great work on the pitch but also off the pitch. Which again is another reason why Greeney is another easy pick as you’ll see him working hard before the game but he is always there to talk to anyone and make you truly feel welcome as part of the football family. Two top guys, two top coaches who keep going from strength to strength
