I think Chloe Knott's performance last game means she has to start, and I doubt he will start Longo. If we're wanting to win our home games would we have Whinham on he bench instead of Lake? (Although Lake did well as a closing out sub last time)
Expect this to be the lineup tomorrow. Hope to see Elliot come back into the starting XI to reward her form.
Edwards Davidson Barry VDM Foster Taylor Longo Fraser Breslin Speckmaier Elliot
Danieli Lake Knott Wisnewski Main
Looks about right. Temple in his presser said Brown didn't make the match day squad. So either Main or Elliot will likely start. Am really surprised Brown hasn't been getting more opportunities. But Elliot keeps performing. So deserves her place. Good competition for places. Those two will know if they don't perform Brown is ready to go. Same in midfield. Now with Longo back in the squad. Wisnewski and Knott no guarantee of starting. Whinham can't even get a look in. McMeekan also performing well in NL. So Davidson needs to up her game, especially in defence. Great to see such good depth.
Speckmaier!!! Lovely finish into the bottom corner off the head. God we've got a real chance of doing something brilliant this season!
Wisnewski off early with injury too. 🤕 Hope it's nothing serious, but she looks quite distressed about it, oh and the stretcher taking her away now on the sidelines...
Yes. Foster been a bit guilty of some lapses. but overall game is pretty good. Glad we have Longo and Breslin yet to come on that should bring some impact in second half. Pretty even contest so far, battle of the midfield is going to win it. Can't let Yallop have so much space on the ball.
All-round very pleasing performance, this team is really building momentum! Yes some things to work on but positives definitely outweighed the negs. Hope Grace is okay.
Awesome win. Really gritty stuff. Some very tired bodies there at the end. As shown by the poor defending to give away the final goal. But this team is showing good spirit. Maybe not quite the beautiful football we wanted to see. But we look like a team that is going to be hard to beat.
Well, they won and won well. My criticisms from the previous week still applied exactly the same, I dont like their shape, and again they didnt get the best from Main, Foster, or Davidson. But they won and deservedly so, and at times they played really nice football. So lets focus on the positive, there were great performances from Barry and Van Der Meer. Edwards was superb in goal, i particularly like the way she never shirked from coming for a high ball, even though we know shes not lofty. Longo also deserves a call out. A really enjoyable afternoon, and the season promises much. Fraser looks very good, although I think we struggled to get her involved enough
