So good to see the England team being allowed to run out a game without a myriad of changes – and those which were made had an impact. Looking forward to see what Harvey can do with Fadoju longer term – Funmi is wasted at GK, but at GD can be explosive and disruptive. Personally I’d prefer Nat over Chelsea, because she adds more pace, but it gives a different dynamic for defences to look at. Good to see Jo and Helen back to form (Helen was a totally different player from Birmingham, I thought) – interesting conundrum for Jess T will be when Ellie C is back to full fitness. Who does she pick?
For me, the Jamaica team was a huge disappointment after their discipline and focus at CWG: does this mean they HAVE to have Rob Wright with them to keep them in line? Certainly the team went back to all their old ways when the pressure started to mount – no wonder Jhaniele looked so down at the end. No doubt they will regroup and come back hard on Saturday, but have they got enough in the tank to be able to competitive for all four quarters?
