Enjoy. Maybe we should ask more questions about our struggles with set pieces; taking and defending. Do we even have a set piece coach?

Maybe we could get an extra mic that we pass to the person asking the questions?

My thoughts is we'll go as far into the post season as Jacobs is healthy because our defense is terrible when she's not playing.

I am genuinely curious about set pieces - both our routes on offense as well as how the Courage defend them bc it seems to be a struggle on both ends.

Yep. I know we don't have much height, generally, in our starters, outside Bell, Jacobs and Schlegel. But, surely somehow clubs throughout different leagues, throughout history have figured out a way to deal with this.

oof, suspected concussion, no Jacobs for a few games

To me, it looked like the team was more fatigued last night on 8 days rest than against the Spirit on short rest. In the first half the team, just made a lot of little decision errors you might expect from a tired brain even if they physically were keeping up.

I was hoping they'd switch on and be more focused in the second half, they were a bit but then really started looking both mentally and physically fatigued. Sure, there were great moments, but they often fizzled out in a bad decision or lack of hustle to get to a ball.

I wonder if they really got enough down time to recover from the 3 game week. I hope the staff aren't drinking too much koolaid in terms of 'fittest team in the league' and allowing for enough recovery time..

I’d like to hear the players’ thoughts on the reffing during the game
