Palace Women's first home game of the season is against Southampton at 14:00 GMT on Sunday, 14th September at the VBS Community Stadium. Speaking to Sportsbeat ahead of the new WSL2 season, Blanchard says the squad have welcomed new manager Jo Potter's ideas and are ready to apply their experience from the top-flight to the upcoming campaign. Last season’s relegation from the Women's Super League was a bitter pill to swallow, but Blanchard says the squad are not dwelling on the past. We have a new season now, and we only want to push the club forward. We played against some of the best players in the world, and you’ve got to take what you can from that and apply those lessons to this year,” Blanchard said.
