i will like to see her play a game or two first. She has the height and size imo. However, we do not know if she can handle a lot of contact....as per when it comes to African football, una must jam body well well.

Na that gbe Bodie be the main Koko now if not she has got all the attributes but that African power is what matters next.. With her regular training with the team it will also improve her physical side of the game alot.

23yrs old Left Footed Center Back Ashleigh Plumptre.
5 ft 11 in (1.80 m)


Do you know that Ashleigh Plumptre played multiple positions for her College side USC Trojans in the US..

**** Started all 23 games for the Trojans as a centerback during her senior campaign, helping to lead the team to an NCAA Quarterfinals appearance … named to the All-Pacific Region first team and All-Pac-12 second team … scored one goal and posted two assists to lead all USC defenders with four points


**** As a junior she Played 20 games, making 19 starts, for a total of 1,640 minutes played … Scored two goals and had one assist for a total of five points while mainly playing as an outside back


**** As a SOPHOMORE, She appeared in 17 games as a midfielder for the Trojans in 2017, finishing with five points on two goals and one assist … Scored goals against Washington State on 10/22 and Cal on 10/26, both of them game-winners


As it stands Coach Randy Waldrum is currently grooming Ashleigh as the possible replacement for ageing and the verge of retirement Onome Ebi...

Can she cope with the physicality that comes with the African Style of play??


What's your say??

Aside Player's techniques, the WSL is one of the most Competitive though still a predictable league... They use more of power, Pace and Strength, rather than techniques..

I believe She would definitely adapt as soon as possible..

Leicester City confirms the departure of Jonathan Morgan from his role as LCFC Women First Team Manager.
The Football Club would like to place on record its thanks to Jonathan for everything he has helped the Club to achieve during his time as manager, which included promotion to the FA Women’s Super League as FA Women’s Championship winners.

Assistant Manager Michael Makoni and First Team Coach Holly Morgan also depart with the Club’s best wishes for their future careers.

Holly, who transitioned to a coaching role at the end of last season, came through the Academy ranks to eventually captain the side before her retirement from playing.

All three have played an important role in the development of LCFC Women, particularly since the Club turned professional following its acquisition by King Power in August 2020.

Retention of its FA Women’s Super League status is central to the Club’s vision for the long-term development of women’s football in the city. The Club feels a change in leadership is now necessary to give the team the best possible chance of achieving this in the remaining months of the season.

Jonathan Morgan said: “This Club has been part of mine and my family’s life for 12 years from when my sister Holly Morgan joined as a young player. To have taken Leicester from the Midlands Division 1 to a FAWSL club gives me nothing but pride. Earning promotion last season in the manner we did will always be a memory I can share with the fans and the city.

“This season has been disappointing, with injuries contributing to a difficult start, but we haven’t achieved the results we had hoped for.

“I wish the Club, the staff and the players my very best.”

Head of Women’s Football Development Emile Heskey will oversee First Team training in preparation for the team’s fixture against Manchester United in the Continental Cup on Sunday 5 December, while the Club undertakes the process of appointing a new manager.

There will be no further comment on the matter until that process is complete.

Team isn't missing much - she was very poor in the CAF Women's CL.

She was loan to River Angels just for the CAF Women's Champions League to help them upfront but things didn't go as expected, hope she gets back to form soon cause European Clubs are knocking on the door already..

Hey bro

Do you have any legit info on Cortney Dike

I remember watching an interview she did on YouTube about how unsure she was on what path to take after he masters program o believe. I think she was weighing the option of either going pro or practicing professionally. Haven't heard much since then. Did she quite football?

She quite football to focus on her other career about 2 years now...
Prior to 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup she only trained then just because of the World Cup but didn't make the team..

The Super Falcons are in a training camp in Abuja ahead of crucial qualifying matches against Ivory Coast.

We have 29 players in camp , only expecting Gift Monday (NWFL Premiership highest goal scorer)

They had their 3rd training session this morning.

Pictures from training

Quick update: Anam Imo called up as a replacement for injured Striker Desire Oparanozie.

By the way zogg has been playing left back for her new club in france , she is another option for the left back role instead of playing ogbonna

Onyinyechi Zogg for me doesn't even have a permanent role at AS Soyaux because she has played Left Back, Center Back and Right Back...

Against PSG she played Left Back
Against some few other Clubs she played Center Back...no.6 Specifically
Against Lyon she played Right Back

Have personally watched all their league games this Season because of her, She isn't doing bad anyway..

I will definitely go with Patricia George and Nicole Payne ahead of Zogg at Left Back..

Adekite Fatuga Dada is in camp

AkinDS:
Do you know If Adekite Fatuga Dada is in camp this time? She missed the Austria camp and there has been no word is she made this one in Abuja.

Also, Adekite is a right winger. In a 4-3-3 formation, she would play in the forward 3

She's a Midfielder but mostly like it when she plays from the side..
Eg Right Midfield. A Compact Midfield Formation preferably..

No news of her in Camp yet..

Osinachi Ohale, Uchenna Kanu excused themselves out.. Can't tell about Ifeoma Onumonu right now but once her get full details about her absence from the team for a while now I will keep you guys posted..

Midfielders: Adekite Dada (Watford FC, England); Peace Efih (Kiryat Gat, Israel); Yetunde Aluko (WFC Ramat Hasharon, Israel); Amanda Mbadinuju (Bayelsa Queens); Goodness Onyebuchi (Edo Queens); Grace Igboamalu (Bayelsa Queens); Toni Oyedupe Payne (Sevilla FC, Spain); Regina Otu (Minsk FC, Belarus); Christy Ucheibe (Benfica FC, Portugal)







A Midfield of the following player should be good enough for the Superfalcons.


1. Rita Chikwelu
2. Rasheedat Ajibade
3. Tony Payne
4. Halimatu Ayinde
5. Regina Otu
6. Christy Ucheibe...

*** Ngozi Okobi, Joy Bokiri, Chinaza Uchendu, Peace Efih, Adekite Dada...

Weldone for the update Schemerkhiz!� What's the recovery status of Halimatu Ayinde sir?

Halimatu Ayinde is back from injury but not fit at all.. She has been doing some personal training.

She would be available for the AWCON for sure but not certain about her availability for the game against CIV except a Miracle..


Same with Chinaza Uchendu she's battling with fitness, she looks heavy.

do4luv14:
even Ordega too is not there

Some players were excused... Ordega is recovering from an Injury haven't played any game since the first leg against Ghana

First Training done.... �

Ashleigh Plumptre on her way already...

lovewins:
What exactly is the camp for? I stand to be corrected, but I think their next game is in February except they have friendlies lined up for them.

Also, Alozie isn't a defender for God's sake. She was wrongly positioned in the invitational tournament reason she didn't do too well. Also, Patricia George isn't a defender too, she plays midfield role.

Also, local based players dominate the attack, wondering why that is (I'm aware Oshoola is injured). Also wondering why Ifeoma Onumonu isn't on the list

Patricia George is a Utility Player, She plays literally all the position on the Field except as a Goalkeeper just like Switzerland and Barcelona Ana-Maria Crnogorčevi, England and Houston Dash Rachel Daly...

Talking about her College days she played more as a Full back and Wingback both Left and Right cause she uses both feets..

Currently at SC Sand she Plays as a Left Winger.

During her stints with Chicago Red Stare Reserve before her move to Germany she played as a top 9 and as a Full Back...

At the Turkish Tournament early this year she played Central Midfield and Right back for the Superfalcons though for few minutes..

AkinDS:
Christy Ucheibe - Minsk? This is someone who just played in the Womens CL for Benfica day before yesterday.
Ibube Whyte again? Someone must be really straffing a certain recently appointed scout real good. This is beyond funny.

Let's hope this is not the proposed squad to play Cote D'Ivoire, else they will be walloped real good by the Ivoriens.

As for Christy UCHEIBE it's a Typographical error...

Super Falcons Defender Glory Ogbonna and Umeå IK have parted ways by mutual consent, the club has announced.


Ogbonna joined Umeå IK on a two-year deal last summer, at the end of her stint with Nigeria Women Football League side Edo Queens.

The 22-year-old Defender played a crucial role in helping Umeå IK soar to the summit of the Elitettan and gain promotion to the top flight (Damallsvenskan) this season with two woman of the match awards.

According to the African Women Cup of Nations winner, the reason for breaking her contract is based on weather condition.

“It is with sadness in my heart that my stay at a reputable club like Umeå IK will come to an end soon. Umeå IK welcomed me, they gave me a home, the coaches, management, players made life easy for me and I will forever be grateful. After considering the weather at this time, it will be hazardous to remain here due to the weather. I want to thank the Club for understanding my decision although it is a difficult one to make. Umeå IK will forever remain in my heart as you gave me my first experience playing club football outside Nigeria. To my players, fans, thanks for everything, the wonderful memories will forever be in my heart.”

In response, the Swedish based club thanked Glory Ogbonna for giving her all to the club and will miss her.

“Umeå IK FF thinks it is very sad that a skilled character player like Glory Ogbonna is forced to leave the club prematurely, but of course we respect her wishes, It will be very interesting to follow Glory’s further development and we are convinced that it will turn out very well for her. We would like to say a big and warm thank you to Glory for her time in the club and wish her all the best in her continued career”, the club announced.
