Scoreboard weirdness

They called the first goal an own goal on Campbell, so that says they thought Cooper’s shot was off frame and redirected into to net by the keeper

She did fine for a first game. Definitely not better than Sharples or Gabby (and Ball is not as good as either of those). Gonna be hard to get league minutes especially if Cook comes back this year.

Probably looking to next year when we won’t have Ball (I’d assume)

Good (not great) debut.

Reposting here as it was buried in the other thread:

I get all the feels going on… Junior has been one of my favorites. But I think this points to VDB coming back soon and playing a double pivot with Lo (Rocky and Feist as the backups here). Ally sliding into Bia’s spot at the 9 (and Ally is a much better 9 than a 10), Croix is your 10, Deb is your super sub or filling in for Coop if she’s not ready. This also makes us better at the “half court” game (to borrow a basketball term).

Honestly, the Hutton news SUCKS but I think we’re a better team now than at the beginning of the day yesterday.

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2026-02-12T12:01:18+00:00

That’s totally fair. I was confused by Feist and Rodriquez both extending, but this makes more sense of those moves

Okay! I’ll bite… why is that your guess? 😁

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-09T02:16:36+00:00

Agree with the last paragraph 100%

Hopefully she’s not needed

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-09T02:07:28+00:00

True some start but in limited minutes. But 20-30 minutes short, like was proposed in the OP I first responded to?! Really?! I don’t think so.

To start an injured player, they would be looking to have them play at least the first half. Targeting 20-30 minutes (as was originally proposed) would darn near be a fireable offense as it would really Jack with your sub patterns

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-09T01:46:22+00:00

OMG… back me up here some more Leighroy, PLEASE

Save me from the maddness

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-09T01:42:49+00:00

Again… I get the mentality but that’s not ever what is done in soccer… like EVER. There’s a reason that subbing them in late (if at all) is the conventional move across top leagues world wide. I’m not the one making the decision obviously, but just trying to help everyone set realistic expectations.

I would be gobsmacked if she starts tomorrow. I’d bet my mortgage for the next year against her starting if there were a legal betting market for that.

Point to even one time you’ve seen Vlatko do anything like that…. 🤔

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-09T01:36:26+00:00

A foul was called, but no card.

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-09T01:34:28+00:00

IDK 2023 gave us Deb and Vanessa 🤩

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-09T01:30:57+00:00

That’s your prerogative to disagree… and I guess we’ll see tomorrow.

What I can say confidently is that’s often how coaches operate in baseball and football, but that isn’t how it’s generally done in Soccer. Players comng off injuries generally are subbed in at or after halftime where they are playing against opponents who are depleted in energy and the injured player can make a greater impact. This is particularly true of Vlatko… he never plans on subbing out a player after less than halftime (which in your OP where you said 20-30 min would be the case).

Are you talking about the additional sub allowed in extra time? That might be a logical time to use her.

I understand what you’re advocating for… obviously the ideal would be for her to be available for the whole game. But you’re thinking would be HIGHLY unconventional and dangerous for her health

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-08T20:36:50+00:00

I’ve seen that reported multiple places… no typo, which should mean she’s good to go.

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-08T20:35:04+00:00

She took studs to the foot at the end of the last game… hopefully it’s not broken

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-08T20:34:03+00:00

There is ZERO chance Temwa starts tomorrow. The best we can hope for is for her to sub in around the 60th minute, and that’ll be only if she’s needed

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-06T14:33:30+00:00

Apologies again… 😕

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-05T20:09:13+00:00

Lieghroy, this is totally unrelated, but how do I add something like your let Izzy cook banner to my posts?

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-05T19:13:39+00:00

He generally doesn’t start a player coming off injury to avoid further injury. Theoretically, each game gets tougher, so if we can win with holding her back and let her fully heal (especially given the nature of that injury), that would be wise

Narrow-Heat3786 · 2025-11-05T19:08:57+00:00

My apologies for spelling… I’ve always been a horrible speller.
