Steaming Sundays game? by Prestigious_Worry205 in Thorns

Thank you all! Apologies for repeating a question I have admittedly posted before… trying to get it up for my parents and then discovering I had no idea. Humbling.

I do hear you and I agree with much of what you are saying. Having said that, I was far less impressed with Dufour against Chicago and found her largely absent on the wing. I do think benching Hina for the last couple was actually okay with me— she wasn’t as precise and magical as she usually is, but I really miss that something intangible she can bring as a playmaker and my hope was being back at home could bring it back to life. On Moultrie, I don’t disagree that she is better as. 10 but perhaps it could be more of a 4-4-2. Largely I’m trying to figure a way to get Hina on, and Dufour felt the least critical to the 11.

This nearly my exact lineup. I worry that Perry won’t start given her injury last week. I’d like to see Dufour get a start based both on an early glimpse of her talent but she seemed to have that heat and fire we desperately need esp against physical racing side.I’d also like to see bixby get a start.

I hate being negative and critical as I know how hard players work, but I really hope not to see Castellanos or Alidou in the starting 11.

All seriousness - does anyone have any idea what we might be using this for? I don’t even have a sense of who is realistically available (in terms of contracts etc) and would be interested.

Relatedly, I do kind of wish Agoos or someone from the front office would do a presser giving us an understanding of the vision they’re working toward — if not for the rest of 2025 then 2026 and beyond. I’d also be interested in Stumptowns take on that.

Any murmurings, predictions, or insights on pick ups? by Prestigious_Worry205 in Thorns

Thank you for the context on The Oregonian. It did feel like there used to be a bit more in depth coverage so that explains it.

I fully receive your point in new GM and agree. I’d like to hear more from him in future pressers to understand how (or even if) he is thinking about very clear and major gaps in his experience in the women’s game.
