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.
Oh I'm fired up.
Come on CD, then 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?

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.
Showtime Nixie

What the heck is the keeper doing standing behind her wall for the goal? WTF!! Div 4 masters stuff. agree with some of that.generally I think Barry and Taylor work OK together. Barry was out of position for first. Wisnewski barely contributing. So near yet so far,hassett and satchell running there heart's out. Pritchard not helping enough.the free kick "wall" looked non existent.
We need gomez for sure, and we are not out of it yet.

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.
I certainly hope so.
Hopefully such a big win lights the fire in the squad and we see a more confident performance.

Surely 6-0 this time. Can only go up!
2-1 Roar. I think we will start to be competitive now.
Howdy all
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?

Maybe you're right, we may sneak in another good week before the international experience buzz wears off. Fingers crossed.

Yea it'd be one thing if we eeked out a 1-0 win, but our squad absolutely pantsed them.
Not expecting a win, but I have actual faith that we can get them now.
Can't wait for Saturday!
COYN!!!!

I would hope that whatever the result, we see a team starting to believe and go for the result with confidence. Their results have not reflected some of their play. Sure there have been mistakes on the pitch but last weekend showed everything that is right about this team. Have faith Ladies, and go get the job done.
Weather in Brisbane worse than here apparently.
See you girls in Palmy tomorrow !

Clegg is the daughter of former New Zealand hockey international Kylie Clegg (nee Foy).
She signed an amateur contract with the Phoenix in order to retain her NCAA eligibility should she wish to take up a scholarship in the United States.
Lawrence appreciated the excitement surrounding Clegg’s potential but said the key was for the rising star to deliver those performances on a consistent basis.
Game will be played on Sunday at 6pm.
Fire Up again.

Any streams? Whoops I thought it started at 5.00.....

Keep the same starting 11. You don’t know whose carrying niggles as to why Lancaster is out. Foster could play midfield and Vosper into left back. It’s up to the starting players to show that they can build on last weeks epic win, and then the players that come on to show they deserve to start like how well the impact players did last week. Can’t wait to watch this game mandingo69

Totally agree!
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 look way better with 10 again.
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.

Playing with more confidence with ten players! Not out of it for sure, but might run out of gas in the heat.

We will get a chance or two but we need to hold them out...thats my worry right now.

We need Gomez and Robertson on stat - most likely for Wisneski and Pritchard
Also - can we please stop playing the pointless long ball ... set pieces of course is different... where getting it in the mixer is ideal!
Belter goal!!!
What a beautiful strike!
milly clegg step on up! 2-2!!!!
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.
