Cameroon 1:3 Nigeria - Retrospective Review

The Super Falcons, in defeating Cameroon in the second leg of these pre-Wafcon friendlies returned to winning ways albeit in a cloud of worrisome precipitation.

The Super Falcons had to rely on established legs to do the business with Alozie, Ihezuo, Nnadozie, Ohale and other members of the established elite guard all coming good.

Isn't it time by now for fresher fabulous rookies to be making a strong case for themselves?

The only goal that the team conceded that emanated from the porous left fullback position shows still that we cannot do without the iconic Ashleigh Plumptre who was absent for these.encounters.

On a brighter side, the crosses are back, oh yes indeed! Crosses of deadly variety decimated our opponents in the last Wafcon, crosses of destructive variant decimated Cameroon yesterday.

We scored 3 glorious goals from crosses and it could have been more, way more.

When we put our strongest squad out, we are unstoppable, but when will we stop over-reliance on the same legs over like 6 years now?

The team showed grit, character and resourcefulness to bounce back from early adversity in flamboyant style which was pleasing for me to see.

Most of the players still have the stomach for the fight. What I saw in them was a collection willing to make a mark in the Wafcon proper.

But, for that to happen, I humbly advocate for injection of fresh legs who can have the potential to hit the ground running like Tosin Demehin and Deborah Abiodun did almost 4 years ago now.

Only then can the team have the strength in depth needed to reclaim its rightful place of dominance in the coming Wafcon in style.
