Re: Adelaide Utd 2023-24 a nightmare season
I argue that we are nt recruiting top end talent from interstate. QLD and NSW have a stronger local comp and we would do good going there. Every team in it's own city will always have preferential access to it's own NPLW due to numerous factors (no need to move, already have a relationship, willing...

Re: Adelaide Utd 2022-23 a season to forget
If last season was a season to forget then unfortunately this season so far we've gone backwards but remarkably Stenta (the immovable object) is still there.

Not a bad start to the season. I think this will shape up to be one of their very best I think BTK you're being too generous. I would argue it is a poor start considering both games at home & both winnable. Also given we were playing against a Canberra team with no Grace Maher & the CCM, a ...

On a positive, I believe Hannah Blake will this season prove to be our 'star acquisition' & having already impressed me during the preseason trial game vs the Wnpl Select so I wasn't surprised with her standout performance for Adel. Utd on the w/end. Meanwhile Stenta really needs to get our defe...

Re: Matildas vs New Zealand Friendlies April 2022
I'm still not convinced on Gustavssonn's ability as a head Coach, he seems far too slow to react to changes in the flow of the game (a bit like Arnie) and often gets his changes wrong. Still not convinced - bring back Stajic. 5 months on from our N.Z. friendlies & the number of 'not convinced' ...

Re: WNPL Season so far
Geez Birkalla were woeful (although it did appear had a very thin squad available) vs NTC last night.
Unfortunately this drubbing will dent any confidence they may have had & it just might be all downhill from here.
