Re: Adelaide Utd 2022-23 a season to forget

We've had multiple discussions over the AUFC-W journey however, the same problem exists. LOSSES outweigh WINS. Performances are haphazard. What my observations have been over the years is that the team is not a team. Made up of a diverse group of players from across local/interstate/overseas competi...

Re: AUFC - A :League Women - Sportsbird

squad ordinary. Needs an overhaul as does the program. Adrian is not the issue. Why? we've had a long line of coaches whom forumites have slammed. time to lay the blame over the successive heads of AUFC.

AUFC - A :League Women - Sportsbird

Not a bad start to the season. I think this will shape up to be one of their very best Sportsbird. Was wondering now that the coach has been appointed as a full time coach, is Sportsbird attending the games? I he/she/they are attending. Just a stab in the dark.

Re: Season 2023.

The problem with AUFC Women goes far beyond the coach. Whoever the coach is has to deal with a LACK of buy in by the AUFC. For years, there has been discussion about why the other teams are doing so well. What is it that makes them better and achieves sustainable results? One part is to establish of...

Re: WNPL Season so far

The players that came across are demanding decent cash per game. Good if you can get it. Yeah not sure Ful...

Re: WNPL and State sports Park

You have a vast open and unprotected area that is close to the sea. Minimal and ineffective wind breaks. Couple that with rain and it’s not a good place to be. The coach’s box stupidly faces west straight into the teeth of a cold strong wind. Add rain and there is zero protection. The grand stand is...

Re: WNPL Season so far

They have spent the cash to get the players and in one way that is good as it places a value on the player. Not too long ago you played for $0. Fulham have not spent as wisely and over the last few years have bought marquee players as a Hail Mary and that has gotten them no where. Maybe the club nee...

Great for a Top 5 finals campaign. More games.

Relegation. Sad for the team that goes out in straight sets. No error for margin with Vista, Birks, and Fulham.
