Big pity Clegg & Fraser weren't available. They are the future. And until the likes of them are playing for the Ferns, the very limited game plan based off a tight defence will continue. Of course is no guranatee that these youngsters will be able to step up from a weakest ALW, to be quality international footballers. But until there are better technical players in the Ferns, with an improved first touch, and heads up spatial awareness, there won't be much improvment no matter who the coach is.
Next year brings the cakewalk of OFC Olympic qualifying, and players blowing out their goal scoring stats. Then the complete contrast of being at the actual Olympics where the Ferns will be the weakest team there, it will be backs to the wall stuff, and a fair chance of not scoring a goal over 3 pool games.
