Aoife Mannion | signs new contract

[Bojan Djordjic]

How do we pronounce her name?

It's an Irish name and in Ireland it would be Eef-ah Man-yun. God knows how its pronounced in the UK.

Thanks, I have an Irish college with the same name and I butchered her name several and no one bothered to tell me, not the colleague herself too, until someone told me it was pronounced Ifa!! I wasn't sure about that too

Mannion.

‘AOIFE IS ABOUT EIGHT WEEKS AWAY’

Skinner said: "Aoife will not make this game. Aoife has a quad issue where she is about eight to 10 weeks away.

"It’s a little tear in her quad. She should be absolutely fine after that.

"She is back on rehab and back around. I haven’t seen the report yet [from those coming back from international duty] but I think everyone else will be available."

It was great seeing her on the pitch against So’ton. Got called up to the Ireland squad so she’ll hopefully get some much needed minutes there.

She’s not been lucky. Seems Skinner has alot of faith in her. I’ve not seen anything yet to put her ahead of Millie Turner and Le Tissier

She had a monster performance against Arsenal last season, if I remember correctly.

She’s a solid CB who could definitely be in rotation but we don’t seem to do that at all. With the amount of games after dropping out of CL we don’t really need to in those positions to be honest.

It’d be ideal to have versatile CBs in the squad, ones that are more or less natural as fullbacks. That’s perhaps why we signed Rabjohn.
