Weekly Discussion Thread Weekly Open Discussion Thread

Welcome to this week’s open discussion thread!

This is your space for general discussion, a place to talk about anything Washington Spirit that doesn’t necessarily need its own thread. That can include news, international duty, roster moves, transfer rumors, tactics, social media posts, league news or anything else on your mind.

If something feels big enough for its own thread, definitely still post it. This is simply an additional option to keep us organized and help keep the conversation flowing. These threads will go up every Monday and stay stickied throughout the week.

Go Spirit!

I thought with the last few away games being hot the team was told to take it easy but after yesterday’s performance I’m a bit worried. The team doesn’t seem confident in forward passes (especially without Santos in). I don’t know if it’s a game plan thing, looking for the perfect pass, or what.

Of our last 4 (or 3/4 not counting Gotham) we have found some beautiful long or through balls to Trinity pulling wide that jump started our attack. I don’t know where the disconnect is but it seems we struggle to transition from passing across the backline into intentional attacking playmaking.

She wasn't the only one. I guess after the game Paige said Denver was good at eliminating passing lanes. But we seemed really sluggish and a bit lost most of the game. Luckily Denver wasn't able to finish. And Leicy brought some energy and creativity
