Welcome back to ‘The Albion Girls’, our feature in which members of West Bromwich Albion Women’s squad reveal all about their team-mates!
Ella Haughey, Taylor Reynolds, Seren Watkins and Rhianne Oakley have all tackled the tough questions on life in the Baggies dressing room.
Next up to dish the dirt, as well as the compliments, is forward Ellie May.
Take it away, Ellie!
Who’s the loudest in the dressing room?
I’d say LJ [Lavarna Johnson], just when is she not loud?
Who’s most likely to put a free-kick in the top bins?
I think we’ve got a few in our squad. Marli Rhodes from pre-season has come up with a few, so we’ve got evidence of that. I think Seren Watkins can also find the top corner, she scored a screamer last season, but Marli’s got this one.
If you had to call one person, who would answer the phone if your life depended on it?
I’d go with Seren Watkins, we chat all the time on the phone anyways. Marli Rhodes is always on do not disturb, I have to ring her five times to get an answer.
Who’s good value on the coach en-route to an away day?
I’d go with Marli Rhodes because we’re always on the way to training together. We always listen to Noah Kahan, we’re always singing and planning something together.
Which player receives the most amount of jokes?
LJ [Lavarna Johnson] is always doing something silly, so I’d go with her. She’s usually on the receiving end of something – it’s warranted though.
Who’s one player in the squad you’d want to take a penalty in a pressurised situation?
I’d back myself, I did it a lot last season. I’ve got a good success rate so I’d back myself to score.
Who picks up the most fines and why?
Marli Rhodes and Taylor Reynolds for this one. If Taylor forgets her boots again, she’s in big trouble, Charlotte Clarke never does her wellbeing form either, so she’s up there too.
Which player would you love to go on holiday with, and where?
Me, Marli Rhodes and Seren Watkins already went to Spain, but Rhianne Oakley will come with us next time. She was on her own holiday last time, she went to Milan instead when we went. It was very fun and a last-minute one – we had a great time.
Who has the worst banter?
Some people get on with other people better, but I don’t think anyone really has bad banter, so I won’t give a name. I’m sitting on the fence for this one.
Who’s the best trainer in the squad?
I’ll back myself. I always give 100 per cent in training.
Who’s most generous with their money?
I think it’s hard because nobody really owes anyone money or anything, or buys stuff for each other. The most generous with their money would be Seren Watkins, she always gets me a coffee, and she’s just not bothered about it – she’s very kind.
Who’s the biggest football lover in the squad?
Izzy Green, she loves football and she loves Albion. She goes to all of the games and she loves watching.
