She's nearly 30 and done a calf .... I don't reckon we'll see her play. The risk to her Chelsea season may just be too great. We saw that an age ago with H. Kewell.

With her out, and Fowler injured, the 3 prong attack becomes, in all reality, a 2 prong, a lot easier for defences to manage. The work rate of Raso and Foord can not be criticised, but it's like LDU and Sheezel .... imo.

Yep...sadly I think shes on ice to......makes it darn hard....
Nice historical table.....some golden oldies there....

EFL make vital changes that will change how Sheffield Wednesday’s Championship games play out​

The English Football League have announced a change in approach that will directly affect how Sheffield Wednesday’s games play out next season.

In an attempt to make sure that fans get to see more football, and consquently get more bang for their buck in stadiums across the country, the EFL have decided to follow the lead of FIFA when it comes to time-keeping - similarly to how things went at the 2022 Men’s World Cup and how they are also going at the 2023 Women’s World Cup this summer.
It’s been explained that exact time will be added when it comes to goals, celebrations, substitutions and more, while the league will also be using a multi-ball system to further increase the time that the ball is in play.

In addition to that, the EFL have gone on to make adaptations with regards to how players are treated when injured and the definition of the term ‘obvious goal-scoring opportunity’. All of which is explained in the statement below:

Enhancing ball in-play times​

As the game collectively looks to enhance the amount of time the ball is in play in the forthcoming campaign, the exact time lost when certain game events occur will now be added. In previous seasons the policy was to add on a nominal period of time for certain game events. The events include:

• Goals and subsequent celebrations
• Substitutions
• Injuries and treatment time (if required)
• Penalties (from moment of offence to the whistle for the penalty kick)
• Red cards (from moment of offence to when the player leaves the field)

Alongside a more accurate allowance for time lost during the game, the EFL will also adopt the multi-ball system, which has been proven to increase ball in-play time.

Masterclass by Grant, Munster & Hughes. They polish off the hard work by the lesser lights brilliantly when they are on.
Munster try dancing around 5 blokes was something to behold

Big task next week.

Greater chance of South Freo winning the AFL premiership than the wallabies doing anything at this World Cup

 

[krakouers]

Honest question though, more disappointing :
Aussie Cricket or Wallabies?

I can’t do it any more. Following the wallabies is harder than following North. It’s amazing how god rugby players make so many stupid mistakes when they pull on a gold jersey.
