## Annabel Blanchard

> Blanchard joined Palace in 2022 off the back of a remarkable season with Blackburn Rovers in which she earned both Coaches' and Supporters' Player of the Season, and has since grown into one of English football's most exciting playmakers.

Blanchard is a young, two-footed forward capable of playing across the front line or, more regularly, as a No. 10.

Blanchard began her career aged just 16 with Liverpool, but started her time with the England youth setup the year before, and has represented the national side from Under-17-Under-19 levels.

After leaving Liverpool she joined Leicester City and then Blackburn Rovers, with whom she finished joint-top goalscorer in 21/22.

Blanchard then joined Palace in the summer of 2022 and made a strong start in South London, with four goals in 22 Championship appearances in her maiden campaign.

In 2023/24, Blanchard's brilliance shone as Palace Women claimed promotion from the Championship, the forward scoring 11 times in just 19 league games including clinical hat-tricks against both Durham and London City Lionesses.

Such form led to Blanchard not only winning both the Championship Goal and Player of the Month awards in September – as well as a nomination for the latter for November – but also the club's Player of the Month awards for October and March to boot.

At the start of Palace's first-ever top-flight season, Blanchard became our inaugural Women's Super League goalscorer, netting a brace in our first win against Leicester City – 2-0 at the King Power Stadium – in October 2024.

The game was also marked by captain Aimee Everett's 100th competitive appearance for the club, and Potter spoke about the importance of her skipper.

"She has been a mainstay for so many years - she's really important to the team.

"I think you can see that when Aimee is playing well, the team are playing well - she has that ability to influence the team a lot.

"She's been at Palace for many, many years and hopefully she will be for many more to come," Potter said.

Palace have been in fine form in the Barclays Women's Super League 2 of late, winning six of the last seven games. 

Potter spoke about the strength of the league, and how every game presents a different challenge for her side.

She said: "I don't think people don't understand how quite strong this league is. It's probably the most exciting league that you can find right now, because all teams are strong. 

"There's no real massive disparity between teams. Anybody can beat anybody on their day. 

"I think you're seeing WSL players playing regularly in the WSL2 now that could still easily play in the WSL."

Finally, Potter looked ahead to Monday's trip to St Andrews in Birmingham, a game which is sure to be pivotal in the race for promotion.

She said: "It's going to be a tough game. We beat them previously at home. 

"They're going to want to be trying to make that right and turn that around, and we need to go for them.

"The more points that they get on us, the further away they get - so, we need to make sure that we're concentrating on us.

"We also always give the opposition full respect because they've got a brilliant squad.

"They've spent a lot of money, and so they've got a lot of expectation on them but we're going to go out there and look to do what we're always doing."

You can be there to back Palace Women on the road, with tickets still available for Monday evening's game at St Andrews.
