I don’t think Macca will be around for very long if she’s not playing regularly. Australia needs their gks to be getting regular minutes. I agree though Hogan won back the #1 position at the end of the season. It’s her spot
I think the year off from the team is going to be a tall order sliding back into the number 1 spot. I would be very surprised if Bixby was our #1 keeper to start the year. She is probably rather cheap and works well in depth for midweek games and cup games, and injuries. Is a good personality hire especially after losing Hubly. If Hogan is eventually going home back to Boston, good coverage for 2026 as well.
I am rather under the umbrella of if you are a goalkeeper, keep the goal. I know nothing of her time with Australia or West Ham. I have not been impressed by the small sample size with Arnold, as to keeping the goal. She is exciting with the ball at her feet, but that isn't really the adjective I want attached to my keeper. I am ready to try to embrace this new school of keepers. I am just used to distribution being a bonus not an expectation. With everyone away this coming pre season will be critical to make a decision. I would expect it to go Hogan, Arnold, Bixby.
All the players the last couple of years have been trying to play under poor roster construction and poor coaching, especially since Rhian has left. The hope is you can get away with a Moorhouse if everything else is clicking. How bad has Hubly been and how bad was Hubly left out to dry? It is so difficult to judge players because they can be good fits in different systems, and poor players in certain environments.
I was wrong. Hogan to backup Berger and maybe a couple others at Gotham. Apparently we are all in on the Australian international. If we build a team to play out the back this could be something. Lack of communication and people fleeing and not really people coming in is getting all itchy and nervous that this is going to completely fall apart like it could have after 2015.
