yep Anna Leat, Olivia Page, Charlotte Lancaster and Kelli Brown. Jets beat Canberra 2-1 with a late goal. I'm optimistic we can build from last week and am looking forward to being back at PoriruaHattyCW
Yes hope to see improvement from last game. Midfield looks like the area that needs most work on. Both Bott and Jale are converted midfielders and will take time to settle and gel there. But thought Jale was better 2nd half against Canberra. Without Fraser, our main creative midfielder is Whinham. Who started the season well with her performance last week. Still needs to back herself a little and shoot on occasions. And big ask for her to go 90 minutes performing at a high level. Middag went off with a knee niggle, i hope that's all ok, Otherwise we will be down 4 players in Middag, Leon, Fraser and Jaber. 3 of those would be starters if fit. The kiwi players Brown and Lancaster in the Jets team will probably feel they have something to prove. Should be an entertaining game.
I think the new system with our attacking weapons up top will keep the jets on the back foot. Midfield does need a little spark, and angy Whinham or a fresh Fraser would do it. I think we will win at home and build that fortress brick by brick.
In light of recent news, we will not have a fresh Fraser. Good on her for taking time for herself, total respect.
Sabitra Bhandari and Tessel Middag both out with knee injuries. 17-year-old Pia Vlok handed a starting debut in her second A-League Women appearance. Lily Brazendale - no relation to Daisy - in line for her pro debut. https://t.co/HpuqUylzDX

Started well, then fell off the pace. Bott and Jale doing better in midfield this week, but Jets will always be dangerous on the counter with Ayres up top. Terrible penalty to give away, rather needless block by Barry. Main is frustrating to watch in that center forward role. Not convinced that is her best position. Really missing Samba already. We seem set up heavy in defence and defensive midfield. Do we have anyone else to throw on to chase the game later on?
