February was a good month for Tottenham Hotspur Women. There was of course the statement win over Aston Villa, as well as a decent win at West Ham, Monday’s thrilling FA Cup victory over London City on penalties, and a solid performance against Chelsea that we probably deserved more from than a 2-0 loss. A few of our number have received recognition for their work during this time.
Olivia Holdt is up for the WSL’s February player of the month. She’s continued to thrill in attack with goals against
Aston Villa and West Ham, and an assist against Villa, too. Her rise has been the brightest of many bright points this season, and she’s more than deserving of this nomination.
Martin Ho has been shortlisted for WSL Manager of the Month. What really shone to me this month was Ho’s resilience. He didn’t win across the board, but he showed real tactical adaptation and growth, and the ability to motivate the team both after tough losses and thrilling wins. Martin Ho’s reign at Tottenham is still early days, but it’s hard not to like what I saw in February.
Turns out Spurs Women also scored a lot of gorgeous goals in February. We’ve got three goals in the running for goal of the month, and I actually can’t decide which one was my favorite. There was Matilda Vinberg’s rocket of an equalizer against West Ham and Olivia Holdt’s equally rocket-like winner (I’m not even sure this was Olivia’s best goal of the month, I personally prefer her near post strike against Villa, but I’m not the one picking these things). Somehow, only one of the seven goals against Aston Villa was nominated, and that was Tinka Tandberg’s strike on a rebound. To refresh your memory, you can rewatch the goals here:
