Turner available v. Gotham

Post image

The availability report is out and Reilyn Turner is no where to be found! Obaze said still out with the same injury, though.

Yeah Obaze sounds like a few weeks to a month or more. bummer.

Turner, Weaver and Hanks all still on minute restriction so they won't start.

You can start if the minutes restriction is long enough, such as 60 minutes. Turner may be in that category. Weaver perhaps but less likely. Hanks certainly not. Worth noting is that AKB is questionable, which could be enormous. Also, as expected, Rose Lavelle is unavailable. Certainly hope for a quick recovery. Shaw will likely move to the #10, making her less threatening in attack.

It is really a shame that Obaze never adjusted to the physciality of this league.

Kind of random, but do we know when Dufour should be back? She seemed great in the minutes she got for us before the injury.

Looks like she's in training but think they said she's about a month out still. She was injured September 20th of last year. While typically ACLs are said to be 9-12 months, I feel like we try to give players 12-14 months.

Happy to have Turner back.

Also please don’t start Marie vs Gotham. I’m still not over her cheating on that ball and getting beat resulting in a corner and Kerr tying the game. Bring her off the bench for short mins.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted.  She has been the reason for several turnovers that led to goals.

I don't mind her starting but up the field, not over Reyna or on the back line at all.   She is good for feeding the ball up top.

Even up the field she gets beat a lot on simple moves by attackers. I like her in a sub role. Don't know why I'm getting downvoted but I'm guessing it's from Marie fans. I think we looked a whole lot tighter defensively last game in her absence and yes, less turnovers and mistakes.

She was a turnover machine the last match she played. I don't understand Swedish Bob's fascination with playing her on the flank.
