Melbournes 1:5 loss to Sydney is reported as the worst loss to their rival.
Makes next weeks clash with Adelaide very important in such a short season.

I think the Reds will soon attract many of the "lost" players to the league. Senior and capable players that once were the cream of the SA scene may return. One here or there....maybe just to trials....maybe make the squad. Who knows. I have a good and positive vibe about this season. Did I read ...

Voldemort, you talk about credibility and then proceed to say that Uni and City rarely played the ball out from the back when the Gks had possession. Are you for real? You had better consult Tracey J and Eduardo R about that one because the opposite was the case in ALL the games that I watched ...

UWS I did see the City vs FFSA game at Burton and the FFSA GK had a howler and gave City goal after gaol to use that game as great City example undermines your credibility on perspective of games. Generally from what I saw most teams on their day were playing or at least trying to play attractive ...

Sturt actually played the ball around better last night than I've seen adelaide city do this year. 15s still the most technical[/quoTE How many games did you see Adelaide City play Leppski? I saw many of the Premier League games as a close friend is involved in the refereeing side of things. That ...

Adelaide University : Adrianna Lubouno (GK), Rachel King, Gaby Bentley, Sophie Walker, Zoe Haralampopoulos, Katerina Bexis, Racheal Quigley , Jenna McCormick, Laura Johns, Melanie Wilmot, Siobahn Fleetwood, Pirrie Weeks, Rhianna Peate, Ellie Bills (C), Isabella Blaess, Jamilla Hull, Adelle Guile ...

Maybe have it a clubs ground with suitable lights, Knights? Open canteen flash up the barbie. Yes cost would be a factor. Also who is watching the games to see if any of the players are suitable for the W-League given the Lady reds do not have a coach? Great point M@rvin! Who indeed is watching ...

DE has equalled this season the total number of wins MB achieved in 3 seasons!! Oh and for all the doubters, I'm pretty sure DE will still be here next season! He led a meeting with clubs a few weeks back and outlined ideas to move forward, all working together! I for one hope he does stay as he ...

Second half sounded much better, 2 goals and 2 against the crossbar with their 6th going in in the last minute? Couple of soft goals by the sound of it though in the first half? Was anyone at the game to comment? I can only go by what I read on the live FFA match commentary ... Up until 5 nil it ...

What?!?!
They must have already made the decision before the big Newcastle win

Well done to the Lady Reds made for a good afternoon!

Also good to see DE reading the forum and taking on the advice here on structure and play - made a big difference

That's why I said apparently!!! I have seen the other games, just not the one in Sydney, when 'I understand' they played 442.. I tempted to ask where "apparently" was in the post but reading the rest I won't bother I do watch games as well. As for posting the league table from the boys competition ...

People really have no idea!!! Possession based game plan was the ideal but it hasn't happened every week, against Canberra the lady reds played a much more counter attack based style, which worked until the last 16 minutes! A number of people saying the side plays one up front, yet on two occasions ...

FFSA to blame or not…?? I see FFSA making an effort with Women’s football but it’s just a cut down replication of the what’s happening in the boys and mens - Development squads NTC etc. I don’t see any great initiative of development for the Womens and girls game apart from the W league team which th ...

From all reports another dismall performance.
The coach sent off =
Time for a change

You could not be more wrong! This type of football is exactly the style of football we players want to play! We don't want our keeper to punt the ball downfield and chase after it, we want to play football! Please don't try to tell us what we want, you do not know! In fact the team were asked by DE ...

Just reading the comments on the strikers, clearly there are issues as Scipio says over the whole park when conceding so many and the limited opportunities of the strikers. I read recently about McCormick being selected for Aust School girls squad, she works so hard as a forward both offensively and ...

Like I said, unfair to blame strikers when midfield constantly changes every game and is dysfunctional. Moreover how does striker issue correlate to the team conceding 4 goals in every game? Even if ur right and strikers are unfit, there are problems all over the park. perhaps they should train ...

QQ - You haven't been living in NZ relatively recently by any chance have you? You seem very well informed whos training or not. Bagging a couple of players isn't going to help IMO Now the fault is that we don't have a pacey striker so we have to persist with a system that is getting smashed...oh ...

There is no goal scoring threat! MJ and Quigs so unfit that they are never going to get in the box for crosses or go past a defender! Patterson looked a threat when she was moved forward! Embarrassing that fitness is still so poor though! Heat was bad for both teams but Sydney managed to play in it ...

Sydney without Matildas and the Lady Red loss last week - time to bounce back

Need to turn 55% possession into some goals without conceding

Comfortable 2:1 win for the Lady Reds!

i would love to hear from the coach about the results , especially after the blog that was posted on here pre season A bit more thought might be needed before tweeting.... “55% possession over all, trust and the results will follow” Might seem a good glass half full tweet if we lost 1 nil then yep h ...

Oh dear what an unfortunate result. It’s hard to see Newcastle paying heaps to their player so it’s not about money and who can pay the most. What we do know for sure is the Lady Reds have a quality squad. In perspective its only one loss, yes a very bad one but then in full context when you add up l ...

SN you seem a bit determined to either get an argument or get me to say you're absolutely right. I don't think that dreaming of loftier ambitions and putting one's house in order are mutually exclusive. In fact I think the two are directly connected. And from where I sit I think that DE has the ...

The point of the topic and post is there is sooo much to be done by the Head of Women’s Football in SA. In regards to a National position of Matildas coach the track record of results and performances speaks for itself. (refer first post) Nothing more needs to be said. However I will venture 2 o ...

The Advertiser Sat Nov 10 2012 ‘Lady Reds coach Dave Edmondson will apply for the soon to be vacant Matildas job. The former New Zealand under 17 FIFA World Cup coach said that he was preparing to submit his CV to Football Australia after long standing coach Tom Sermanni announced his final Matildas ...

Stop making things up

Excellent news!

…U15’s …well when the coach’s approach at Club is bring in - prepared by someone else - just add some money - quality imports... and not focus on developing own players….sadly results at State to be expected
