Crystal Palace Women's forward Kirsty Howat reflected this week on a season of constant improvement under Manager Jo Potter, as well as the prospect of an immediate return to the Women's Super League.
Howat was signed by Potter last summer, with the two reuniting after a successful stint at Rangers.
It's been a prolific start to life in London for Howat, who has 12 goal contributions in all competitions this season - including a goal against Charlton last Sunday.
She spoke about how the Manager influenced her move down to the capital.
"I'd worked under her for about two years, she taught me a lot, even at the age of like 25, 26 - I felt like I was continuously learning, which was a massive thing.
"I think by the end of last season I was playing my best football, I was scoring, I was assisting, and yeah, I just enjoyed working under her, so it just felt like it was the right move," she said.
With that change came a new league - and the Barclays Women's Super League 2 has proved to be extremely competitive since September.
Howat said: "That's been the biggest jump, I think. In Scotland - there's four or five teams that are really competitive, and then the other games take care of themselves.
"Here it's not like that - you have to be on every single game.
"I think we've seen from the results, anyone can take points off anyone, so it's been really good, it's been really exciting, and we've managed to turn it around.
"I think we kind of clicked at the right time in the season, and we've got ourselves in a really good position, which is making these last few games extra exciting."
After the Ipswich game on Sunday, Howat will join up with the Scotland squad for their crucial double-header against Belgium.
She scored her first international goals against China in December of last year, and reflected on what it meant to bag a brace for her country on her first start.
"That was up there with one of my career highlights to be honest, I think every time I get selected for Scotland it still feels the same as the first time.
"First start, first couple of goals - they were really special, probably just a dream come true to be honest.
"I've dreamt about it as a wee girl - my dad was in the stand as well which made it extra special, he was there to see that and take that in with me."
After a slow start to the season, Potter's side have come into form at the perfect time.
Palace Women have won nine of their last 11 league games - only losing one game in the process.
Howat reflected on the strong run of form, and the importance of trusting the process.
"I don't know if it was anything in particular, I suppose it was just believing and trusting in the processes, and the work that we were doing.
"We knew that we were playing well at times and not getting results.
"We also knew we weren't playing well at times, and we knew we had to fix that.
"I think we just stuck by our processes - we're playing well in the style that Jo wants us to play in and everyone knows their roles and responsibilities probably a little bit better than we did at the start of the season.
"Going through that period has actually made us stronger, we're holding on to 1-0's now, we're seeing draws out, we're seeing wins out, and we've definitely learned from that period at the start," she said.
If Palace win all three of their remaining games, they will guarantee a promotion playoff spot.
