The correct players are playing, this is a talented squad, yes, there are limitations in some areas, mid field lacks speed, so you plan accordingly, move some players, have been experimenting with Swaby, which I feel cost the team on both offense and defense Sunday, by perhaps with a game or 2 its a good move? Just need to make adjustments throughout the game based on what the game gives you and the other teams strengths and weaknesses, R has not capitalized on mismatches. For example LaPlant will almost always if not always be faster and more technical than one of the opposing teams outside back, set it up and target it. Need to move the ball forward, especially in transition, first thought is still always, always back, catch a team off guard, pile up the goals, an attacking mentality and look for the pass in the final 1/3rd as soon as it's touches. Then play possession defense once you have a comfortable lead. Hate to mention names but Amirah at target up top gets a lot of quality touches, she works,hard to do so, but she needs to receive, turn, and look to distribute immediately, look for those runs by the outside forwards and overlapping mids, and the goals will pile up! They have proven it. The defense is and always has been solid, I personally feel R also has the talent to be one of the top offensive teams in the Nation, they have speed, individual skill to go 1 v 1, just share the ball, get on the same page......constant pressure, wear defenses down. I am not sure where Nekka should be right now, if she is going to be effective it has to be out in front with space, so she has time to set and shoot, just not sure in possession style play.....Also need to rethink restarts, we have 2 goals on corners, I cannot recall the last time R scored on a set piece. There must be a player that can strike a ball hard and on frame from 25 in! At least then there's a chance for a rebound. Make some changes with who is playing......
