This may seem blunt and i may get slammed for this but none of the girls look fit. How many seem to be carrying a few extra kgs?? We never have a plan B. from the games ive watched we constantly try to play out from the back. Unfortunately we dont have the players nor skill to do this. Even when its not on we persist. Heres an idea, send one long every now and then and try keep the ball if not push up early and defend close to the half way line rather than the edge of the box. Surely the coach can see this and if not then then future doesnt look good. Its predictive and if other teams watch our tapes they will see this as a weakness and exploit it which has happened since the season kicked off.

Just my opinion but hey.

Too Much a Bulla Shite!

As has been said on here once before....Just roll the tape from last 2 seasosn and play it this year and the next and the next until players get jack and leave...or the Reds or League folds.

This comp started with great expctations and hope. Sinde then its fizzled. There is NO media interest other than a token season kick off spread.

Also, in reposne to the above, SA players have always looked unfit. Proof in the pudding.

I reckon Chris Fleetwood woudl be an excellent coach. And George L as his manager. Then we'll get things moving.

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 hearing you bloke but just looking for a moment at the half empty.
Newcastle scored 4 goals with 45% possession what efficiency!
Glad they didnt share possession what would score have been.
I’d be keeping this one behind closed doors and quiet myself

The next one is interesting

“Tough day at the office. Great team meeting after dinner though and looking forward to positive reaction. Oh and game coded too, all by 3am.”

Good everyone will look for a positive reaction.
Sorry the 3am is just try hard :roll:

Interesting bit though
Game coded?
“coded is video analysed, in this case separated into individual player clips of their in possession play.”

Just so I grasp this and it might help JS as well.
Employed as full time coach on 1 team for W League season (NTC finished months ago)
Have a fulltime employee as an assistant coach
Have a specialist GK coach
Had a full season of W league
Had a full season of NTC
Directed Prem coaches on the pre-season you wanted for clubs for fitness and skill
Instigated W League training regime as you wanted
Facilities and resources at disposal only Womens and Mens Prem teams could dream about
Selected exactly who wanted
Had the preparation exactly as wanted
Plus have video analysis of team and individual players

all this & at bottom of table

Lets keep it positive, glass half full stuff!
Here are some positive tweets you might consider

#sacked assistant today-inviting each Prem coach to have 1 week guest assistant coach role for W League season

#excited to be working with local coaches in W League-chance to learn more, build rapport and gain more local knowledge

#doing FFSA U15/16 Prem team myself in 2013, need all FFSA assistants with Womens side working on grassroots & juniors to increase participation–need much bigger pool for sport success & to increase quality at top.

Posting other peoples Twitter conversations is equivalent to re-writing history; the facts need to be backed up with proof. Too easy to add words and sentences.

voldemort - " GOLD ' !

What you suggested regarding the Prem's coaches over the assistant coach , IMO ,
not too many people here will disagree with .
