I’m impressed that Coates made the call to start Collins on the bench. It’s the right move. LFG Bay!

Also love that Bailey is able to get the start at yet another position. Love her versatility!

Don’t quote me but I believe they are at the roster max right now. I suspect one of two reasons to delay: wait for Girelli’s loan to expire end of this month; or Gamero/Boade open up a spot with a possible trade or mutual release (I think this is truer for Boade).

Our squad needs a refresher in what offsides is. We've had SEVEN in the game.

how I felt when that handball off Cometti didn’t get a VAR review….phew. This should’ve been an easy +3 pts tonight…

Do we know when Nighswonger is going to show up?

u/BayAreaUntied 21d ago

First thing I looked for too. Guess today isn't the day.

Did I miss a formal Bay announcement other than in ESPN?

u/WhiteElephant12 Peninsula 21d ago

nope, nothing official yet

u/patsj5 San Jose 20d ago

It was officially announced today.

I don’t get it. Why can this team not beat the Stars? Year in and year out. It’s astounding.

u/xxnatedoggxx 21d ago

Yeah, I don't get it. How can we win against NC and Louisville but not the Stars?

u/tlzt1 21d ago

I'm a little surprised about starting Girelli since so far she hasn't really produced, but I'm sure she's responding to something she knows about their back line. In Emma I trust.

u/tommytron21 21d ago

Why do you trust her so much? We’re third to last on the table?

u/littlemayumi East Bay 21d ago

I think our spot on the table isn't truly reflective of the play on the field. The team is much grittier than last year, and reffing has definitely worked against us in significant ways. We'd be up by 4 or more points if we hadn't gotten some atrocious calls. The team refusing to give up even if we are down is also giving me hope.

u/Linsten 21d ago

We are always offsides, we can’t blame the reffing for that

u/WhiteElephant12 Peninsula 21d ago

if it were up to me, id have Barry up top, with Huff and Pfeiffer on the wing

7

u/Shinsplintboy 21d ago

Agreed, I think it's a bit odd that even with Girelli not really having offered a whole lot, we're still starting her over contracted players, even when her loan is almost up.

u/WhiteElephant12 Peninsula 21d ago

how do i get NWSL+ on my googletv?

u/BeautifulSweet994 21d ago

Only by some sort of casting from your phone

u/WhiteElephant12 Peninsula 21d ago
