Wind ruined it as a spectacle somewhat. Way way too early to even say how Schmid is going to set things up long term, compared to Hudson. This was a closed door friendly with no pressure at all.

Really a bit of meaningless game, apart from introducing youngsters to AWs environment. Hopefully one of the amateur Handy players, caught the eye of a pro club somewhere. Thought Payne was the best of those guys. Ingham was disappointing.

Hopefully Schmid is brave enough to continue picking the youngsters for the next 12-18 mths, and so give them a chance to see if they can shine at this level. He needs to build depth before the OFC Nations Cup 2020, when no doubt a few first team regulars will be unavailable. Results in the next 12-18 mths mean nothing, so he might as well experiment now.

I'm sure Collier will come in for the next game. Hopefully NZF can source a pre world friendly or two in Europe in May/June - though of course these matters are never easy, and AWs just not attractive as an opponent. Sadly it won't be the Socceroos. I see they have already locked in pre WC friendlies verus Czech Republic & Hungary
