@Phuocerman 1. Who is making decisions in the Thorns front office? Do you think they have a strategy? 2. Do you think Gale has the support of the locker room?

Happy NYE! #BAONPDX It’s mailbag time! Drop your questions below and it could be in a future podcast or post. I know everyone has a lot of questions and I’ll get to as many as I can.

@Phuocerman Like many, I’d love to know what the @ThornsFC strategy is with the releases and trades given that a top priority should be finding a coach who is up to leading this institution? Does Gale have the support of (what’s left of) the locker room?

#GothamFC have traded $10,000 in intra-league transfer funds and a 2025 international roster spot to #BAONPDX GK Shelby Hogan & $40,000 in allocation money. “I’m thrilled to be joining Gotham FC & I am super excited to take on this new opportunity in my career." - Shelby Hogan

@Phuocerman But we did. I understand wanting to rest Smith and Weaver but, as you pointed out, playing catch up is a big ask of subs. Gale seems to have a blindspot when it comes to how his choices about our starting XI and timing of subs directly affect the outcome of our games

Rob Gale: "That's as as quality of performance as you'll see away from home. Midfield was excellent. We had the majority of the ball. We controlled the tempo of the match. There's no way we weren't the better team tonight, and we certainly didn't deserve that result." #BAONPDX

@Phuocerman @BeltransOldMole Do you think Gale keeps his job past the end of the season? Does he still have the support of the locker room in light of some…questionable…decision-making? I get that we’ve had a lot of injuries but he does not play to secure an early lead.

@BeltransOldMole This team refuses to make subs at halftime and give their subs a real chance - also refused to start or play Alexa Spaanstra to give them two starting wingers.

Another box defending disasterclass. This team can’t defend in their own box. Former Portland Thorn Janine Beckie finds Taylor Flint on a glancing header. Thats her sixth goal against #BAONPDX out of her 13 career goals. Dominant.

@StumptownFooty Do you see any scenario in which LeBlanc, Gale, and Norris keep their jobs past the end of the season? Who do you look at as prospective replacements for Karina? For Rob?

This team continues to struggle with possession, defense, and the players are not in a place to succeed. The Portland Thorns continue to work their tail off, but they're not being utilized properly.

FT 1-2 #BAONPDX This was the worst managed game of the season. Here's why... - Starting XI was just off (too slow) - Substitutions were off and too late - Team box/counter defense still hasn't been fixed - Player positions in formation at the end was baffling #NWSL

@StumptownFooty That seems to be the motto for much of this season… It’s hard for the team to have the chemistry on which “Thorns Soccer” depends when we refuse to play a consistent starting 11 (+/-2).

54' This has been really rough to watch, some poor passes from players and giving the ball away, it doesn't feel like "Thorns Soccer" at all #BAONPDX

@StumptownFooty Any chance you could post your notes on the half? They are a huge help to those of us who’ve fallen between the cracks of the NWSL’s broadcast strategy.

There's the end of the half, what does interim head coach Sarah Lowdon need to say during the break? And more importantly- what are y'all drinking? #BAONPDX

@StumptownFooty Do you have any insight into what’s going on with Payton Linnehan? It’s odd not to see her (at least) as a sub.

@StumptownFooty @Phuocerman Great article. I feel for the players: the team still has the talent to win and win decisively but Gale’s unwillingness to settle on a solid starting 11 is killing us. How can the team find its rhythm when he’s still tinkering with lineups?

@ThornsFC The local @CBS affiliate opted for collegiate football. Could the Thorns, as an organization, tell the @NWSL to come up with a reliable broadcast and streaming plan?

@StumptownFooty How do we not have a set starting 11 (+/- 1) in September? I feel like every week is an adventure in trying to find what works (though I am thrilled to see Kling back in the starting line-up).

@StumptownFooty Smith’s aggressive play should be instructional: we score when we play like we will score. Like scoring is inevitable. That has not been us lately.

FT: Portland Thorns 1, Bay FC 3 Final Notes: - Back to back 2 goal losses - Team can't defend or score goals - Sloppy in possession & defense - May 17 was the last time they've scored 2+ goals - First Round Exit in Playoffs Incoming - KK and Rob? Tons of questions... #BAONPDX

@StumptownFooty Ryan today. I think Betfort and Murph tagged us in the Royals match. I’ll have to back too. Something about having a former Thorn score against us just stings a little more…
