We have a good CB pairing atm in Stott and Bowen. Don't really need Erceg any more, better to give opportunities to the likes of Bunge and Taylor younger players that are our future.

What the hell is going on? I don't support player power at all and they should be put in their place. Having said that,if they have a legitimate serious complaint, then the coach has to go.
What a farce having a stand in coach for the Olympics ,and no idea whether klimkova is gonna come back or not.

Coach definately had to go, but the timing is problematic, players having too much power is the problem, too big for their boots, thinking they are bigger than the team and pushing their own agenda which is against the direction the coach/management wanted.

Could be an interesting Olympics squad. Will Mayne choose some youth over experience? Might be some big calls, against the backdrop of a somewhat splintered playing group??

Wilkinson, Hand, Jale & Clegg. 1 of them likely won't make the final 18. Only getting a travelling reserve spot. You would imagine it's between Jale and Wilkinson.

And keep an eye on who the assistants named are.

On the assistants.
Not sure why Natalie Laurence keeps getting a free ride by NZF. She's english and works in england. And not likely to keep contributing to NZ football.
Hope they actually pick a NZer that is working with local talent. Someone that is on the up and more likely to give to NZF for a while. Someone like Alana Gunn. She is already in the system being coach of the U17s. Gareth Turnbull would be another good option.
