I think he had it wrong with the formation
I thought it was
4-1-4-1
Eagle
Smith Barry Green McMeeken
McMillan
Main Candy Bartlett Elliot
McCann
and transitioning to
2-3-2-3 further up the field with the fullbacks (Smith, McMeeken) and wingers (Main, Elliot) pushing up.
I thought if the opposition had centre backs with a big boot, and wingers with a big voice demanding a quick ball into the space McMeeken was vacating with her frequent forays into midfield then the MissNix? would've been vulnerable to the quick counter, but Ellerslie had neither.
Certainly was a noticeable difference in athleticism between the amateur training twice a week versus whatever the MissNix do ( I am guessing closer to 5 times a week)
