Yes poor decision making and execution at the back cost us this game. But I thought our attacking play was very lively and an entertaining watch. Good games especially Longo and Whinham. McCutcheon looks good quality, hope we can keep her in that DM role rather than as a CB. We do have 4 other CB's in the squad with the arrival of 5th import.
In second half also thought McMeeken and Wall were good attacking in those full back roles. And Brazendale was pretty solid at DM.
With those two being the only full backs in this squad, does make me wonder about tactics this season. Is the back 3 going to be a thing. Especially after last nights 1st half failures. (Lots for Temps to think about). Would prefer a more traditional back four with McCutcheon dropping back when fullbacks attack along the flanks, especially for away games.

With Wall and McMeekin, you have a good balance for your full backs, so definitely a back four, I would expect Barry and Lake to be more solid in future, but we will have other options. Depends what they try to do with McCutcheon, as with Longo, Whinham and Tanaka we have a full midfield. Im hoping Tanaka was unfit at halftime, as I thought she looked good.  Assuming Ferguson is a starter, we may not see much of Jale, I am yet to be impressed with her, but I live to be proved wrong. But Im fully confident of much better things next week.
