When is the coach expected in camp?
This team does not inspire confidence.The four players absent are huge and without like for like replacements for the absentees,I have my worst fears!
Waldrum would have taken care of the situation but he is not in charge,the mysterious person or persons who are responsible for the list did a poor job.
CSN. The match is today, 13 30 hrs, in a few hours; and you’re still writing about arrivals of Super Falcons in camp. Haba!!
It’s a two leg affair,so players arriving today may not feature this afternoon but could in the return fixture.
