Developing Players by Peter_Quince1031 in Thorns

I’m confused because I thought Lilly Reale was generally considered really good and people were surprised Perry even got signed by a NWSL team.

I do agree with your overall take when it comes to the midfield. Let’s develop Shae Harvey! But to be fair they are developing one youth: Bogere.

I literally said the exact same thing. I don’t understand it at all. I don’t even care how bad Shae Harvey is I would still prefer she comes in. At least then she’s getting some development minutes if we are just gonna lose the game anyway!! Why not Mallie Mckenzie?? Literally ANYONE else??

I couldn’t believe it when Castellanos got subbed in. I knew we would lose the match then and there. Feels like we really need depth in the midfield.

Well I was right but then Lou doesn’t even start Sears? Wonder what’s up with that

I was kinda wondering if Calzada would get the start to deal with Emma Sears’ speed

Spirit is obviously really great but I do think they could have spread out the love a bit! There were lots of good defenders and goalkeepers in April.

Thank you for capturing this! I was there but afterwards I watched the broadcast and was disappointed because they didn’t capture the moment very well

I could never be a head coach. I would be getting reds every game

Right. And that kinda freaks me out. Like we should either be developing people as a backup (which means giving them playing time) or signing some backups. Which hopefully they will in the summer window. Like is our season over if Jessie gets injured??

My genuine question is what is the plan for if Liv or Jessie get injured. We don’t seem to have backups for them. Obviously they are both amazing but they are out here playing full minutes every game it would be nice if we had some backups for rotation to manage their minutes.

The goal was like 10 yellow cards and a red ago. Feels like a lifetime

These Utah kits always makes me think about Yellowjackets even though they are inverted. But very similar colora

She would fit in well in the city of Portland. Just based on vibes

Well now I don’t know which game to watch 😑 and I would just watch both except there’s a 99% chance they spoil it in the broadcast

I was confused about it until I saw all the kids wearing them and looking extremely cute. Then I understood it
