And why is it that despite a great defensive game from Devosora, she came off the bench today. Have you seen Lopezβs face? That doesnβt scream a brave Tamaraw!
To Tina Salak, you have entrusted the teamβs playmaking to a player who hasnβt shown maturity and skillβs improvement despite starting since her rookie year. The MBs of the LTs looked mediocre and hadnβt been threats due to dreadful sets.
What is stopping Tina from fielding in Miranda and Ramos? To simply compare, Ubaldo is far from the likes of Morado nor Fajardo. She should be subbed out.
Todayβs story boils down to the setters and HC. 3 setters in both MVT and WVT, yet they sticked to a lacklustre playmaker. There were no adjustments and simply waited for their main setter to get their game. Mind you, these are super senior players.
Disappointing day for FEU even with a win from the MVT. I was expecting a straight set victory especially we are into the past few games of the season. Itβs a mystery that the coaching staff couldnβt field in the other setters despite the awful performance from Cacao
The coaching staff of the LTs should focus more on polishing their right side players in Tin and Faida. Both are underperforming. Tin to focus on setting and Faida on blocking especially against AdU. Pendon can be good sub for offense, but a liability on net defense.
Ubaldo needs to improve her sets. She canβt be the first to get rattled and expect her spikers to adjust to her so-so sets. The latter part of the fourth set showed that sheβs capable in decision making, she just needs to be consistent and not rely on Bakanke for a side out hit
Finally, a breakout game for Cla Loresco. She has that ideal middle blocker form, the team has to maximize her especially they are still vying for that final four slot.
Yey for the double victory today. The MVT showed a glimpse of their roster against UP. Able subs in crucial stretch. Dryx playing hot and cold this season. He has to get his lethal and percentage spikes back.
If thereβs one good thing that came out today, itβs Ann Asis and her leadership. True, she isnβt your scoring machine, but she is a leader. The intensity and focus were evident today. Despite extremely limited touches, she compensated on other skills like in floor coverage.
Another game plan which I find unbelievable is their overly reliant to Bakanke. This girl is not your terminating hitter. Her strength this season is probably her blocking. Hence, this is where she should be focus more. Her attack conversation was low, yet she got most of the set
On the Lady Tams game, itβs rather disappointing despite winning a set from the Golden Tigresses. Fans are howling about mental toughness, but what I keep on seeing was the leadership that has been missing for so long. The apparent captain cannot hold her team together.
Now, whatβs stopping Tina Salak from fielding in other OHs. Oh yes, Melody was inserted into the game and shanked passes. Not so lovely performance from Lopez.
