WPW R12 vs Brisbane Roar | Sun 29th Jan | 6:00pm | SS4
Hopefully such a big win lights the fire in the squad and we see a more confident performance.
Given the timing of the two games has anyone given any thought to which pub in Palmy North we could watch the women’s game at?
That's not competitive. 2-1 Phoenix I reckon!
I saw enough to convince me last week.
The midfield gave me a lot of confidence,with knott stepping up and gomez showing we have depth. Taylor was thankfully better,she looks good if she's not giving the ball away. Barry and Foster are playing the house down and will look even better as the team improves. Edwards has not been exposed like in the early games, im surprised the opposition don't test her aerially more, but she's coped well enough with whats been in front of her. And Clegg of course now offers plenty. I see no reason why we shouldn't see regular team improvement now.
Not expecting a win, but I have actual faith that we can get them now.
Can't wait for Saturday!
COYN!!!!

In my opinion I’d have Ava out, clegg in at 9 and Robertson on the wing. I think having gomez starting over wisnewski is a better option. Thoughts?

Also, I think Foster is doing really well and deserves to be starting - but ultimately, she is someone that can take a corner. I think as a squad they don't really have a top target person ... so on attacking runs they would be better served with balls around the back / on the deck / through balls / cut backs etc to get regular goals (as last week showed) rather than the high cross / long ball etc. Be different if we had someone tall and strong up top - but we don't.

We're not looking at the races so far.
Wisnewski not in the game.

Barry and Taylor slower than a wet week. Cant defend when game is played behind them. And as a combination is just doesnt work.
Wisnewski no where near it like every other game so far this season. Passenger.
What the heck is the keeper doing standing behind her wall for the goal? WTF!! Div 4 masters stuff.

We need gomez for sure, and we are not out of it yet.
That free kick was awesome and some good chances since.
When we were 1 player and 2 goals down I thought we were gonna be boned 6 nil. Now I don't know, they could pull back a draw.

Guaranteed !! Gomez needs to get into the middle for wisnewski if we have any chance if winning. Take Ava off for gods sake and get another defender on the field to cover for Kate, what in the world is Nat thinking.
We will get a chance or two but we need to hold them out...thats my worry right now.
some of you chaps are hilarious - "stop playing it from the back", the "stop playing the long ball"
they are both legitiimate tactics in football, used at different times to beat certain defences.
