3 at the back. And we are already looking super exposed in defence. Jale and Clegg injured. What is it with this Ferns team and injuries in camp. Happens every time they get together. Maybe no surprise Bott, Bowen and Stott aren't there.
Need some tweaks at the back. Felt like a goal was coming either way. A shame as we've been shown a lot of creativity that often runs short for this team.
Great Goal. But not a lot of other positives there. Too many players playing out of there natural positions for me. Mayne is pretty much auditioning for the job. Not sold yet. I guess he is at least trying something a bit different I suppose.

Yep respect that they are trying to showcase more attacking impetus and try a few different things out, but some stuff hasn't worked including as you said players out of position.
Would like to see us switch to a back four second half and the likes of Elliot, Jacqui Hand and Maya Hahn getting on the park.
But didn't go forward enough and didn't go forward well enough.
Its no surprise, but we looked devoid of any goal scoring ability.
Hand did well, but crikey there is room for a striker or two if we can find one. Kitching has to do better . We won't ever beat anyone until we address that problem.
A few more yellow cards could have been given, the ref made some interesting calls.
I only watched the 2nd half today, but thought we did ok, mixed it up with playing out and being more direct at times. I know the opposition not up to much but the side put out seemed pretty young and inexperienced. Think should be happy with how it went.

Didn't think we were going to manage to get the win as we really didn't have any decent shots throughout the game.
That is until Maya Hahn! It really was an awesome strike, and the moment of brilliance we needed to get the win.
Fraser did well with the assist too.
Also can't forget to mention Vic Esson who kept us in it with some great saves.
Happy we got the win, but I would've liked to see us creating a few more chances in all honesty. We probably shouldn't be struggling quite so much to create and score against lower ranked opposition.
