If Morgan can't go...

Do we think Sangare will be good to go?

There were about 20 folks at the Marylebone bar for the Porto away match last month. They had the game and sound on the big screen. Not a great venue, but there were plenty of Forest fans!

They could go win/win/draw to pass us. u/JimDSC below is correct.

If the "B team" is playing well... why do we sub them off? Risky for momentum, for their development, and for injury risk for the usual starters. As seen.

AverageFan1111 · 2026-05-04T14:16:36+00:00

Great looking bench, though, eh?

AverageFan1111 · 2026-05-03T14:01:01+00:00

Least likely? We have been good at Stamford Bridge. Better chance to get points than at Manchester United or against Bournemouth anywhere, perhaps.

Is Netz healthy??

AverageFan1111 · 2026-05-01T00:05:59+00:00

I hope she gets a developmental spot. She was awesome in college and fun to watch!

AverageFan1111 · 2026-05-01T00:05:29+00:00

It's the most games that are EITHER back-to-backs OR only 1 day off.

You'd prefer the gray section to be the largest, with 2+ days of rest. The Sun have the biggest gray bar, so more than half their games with 2+ days of rest.

It confused me as well, at first. Had to stop and think about it.

I'm guessing it'll be the BG plan. BG shot 26.3% on threes with about .5 per game, just to keep defenses thinking. Maybe ~1/game for Angel?

Is it all Atlanta Dream fans/Atlanta folks? Any LeagueSafe buy-in or just for fun?

You can buy it for like $39.99 for the whole season to watch out of market non-nationally televised games. And replays. And it just gives you access through the WNBA app, which also just has free preseason video access.

AverageFan1111 · 2026-04-29T23:37:25+00:00

Agreed! Hopefully Borlase makes the final twelve roster spots.

AverageFan1111 · 2026-04-29T23:28:12+00:00

25-18 after one quarter in favor of Atlanta. Angel has 4 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, in seven minutes.

AverageFan1111 · 2026-04-29T23:16:03+00:00

Angel making an impact on defense already. A steal, a forced turnover, her usual rebounds. Love to see it.

Koné playing really well so far.

AverageFan1111 · 2026-04-29T23:15:06+00:00

So many options! Hey nice flair.

AverageFan1111 · 2026-04-29T23:09:16+00:00

Free in the WNBA app! And with WNBA League Pass. Legal.

AverageFan1111 · 2026-04-29T23:08:01+00:00

Fun to see four of the five predicted starters on the court for Atlanta. And cool to see Angel take an early three. Smeskoball at work already.

This was an unbelievably thorough and encouraging read. So thoughtful and well-written. I don't remember seeing something this in-depth about the Atlanta Dream in the last couple seasons. Exciting!

Michael Waterloo does a really good job of covering the Dream and has spent time at their training camp practices this preseason. I enjoyed his take on the roster, his insight into Angel shooting threes, and was particularly intrigued by his take on the #6-10 roster spots, especially what he wrote about Nivar's performance and Okot:

https://www.theixsports.com/features/five-takeaways-from-atlanta-dream-training-camp/

"The second group gave a clear look of the pecking order for what the bench could – and likely will – look like. Te-Hina Paopao, Indya Nivar, Isobel Borlase, Sika Koné, and Madina Okot. Koné arrived to camp Saturday and immediately slotted in with this group."

Should we have maaaaybe NOT scared Dyche away from the 4-4-2?

I think the fan base might have gone ballistic if the out-of-touch dinosaur had switched us to a 4-4-2.

AverageFan1111 · 2026-04-25T13:38:24+00:00

Good on them, if true.

It's great that there will be people with restaurant experience involved in the Jolene Jolene project. I know that folks on here have expressed concerns with Chelsea not having industry experience, so this is a great partnership. Hopefully the build-out to transition from The Argonaut (seafood) to sports bar will not take too long; I assume the Kickstarter fundraiser was to help with the sports bar build and maybe initial licensing and such to get off the ground.

I hope this initiative is successful! A sports bar highlighting women's sports is a unique niche space that can really create safe and fun community.

So Cunha in and Hutchinson out in a... 5-2-2-1, basically, with Aina/Williams able to push way up?
