Podolec maybe will play in Opposite, because she is had problems with reception after the injury...

Podolec maybe will play in Opposite, because she is had problems with reception after the injury...

I suggested to Świderek statement after Kasprzak injury, that one of the option is back Podolec at receive if Kaczorowska and Kruk will play weak. But finally coach didn't use Anna as receiver. So we'll see.

Our team will be strong if Podolec and Kasprzak play in reciver, but i think that Kosek and Jaszewska are also good

So Pelc and Saad are out. Probably also out will be two from four: Konieczna, Kwiatkowska, Kruk, Kaczorowska

I hope Konieczna and Kwiatkowska will stay ! they're definitely much better than Kruk and Kaczorowska.

You're right One of them can be OH

Konieczna I think it's good option

I didn't like Saad at WGP. In parallel time Strasz played very good at Universiade so I'm not surprised that decision.
In 14 I would like to see Kwiatkowska and Konieczna, but Konieczna only as a server. At WGP she played really bad and I just can't get out of my head her efficacy in match between Poland and Dominican Rep. (0/14), so she would go at court for serve only. The other weak points are Kruk and Kaczorowska, so I would like to see Podolec as OH, but it's only my dream.
S: Radecka, Wołosz
Opp: Skowrońska, Kwiatkowska
MB: Okuniewska, Bednarek-Kasza, Podolec
OH: Kosek, Jaszewska, Kasprzak, Kaczorowska
Libero: Maj, Strasz
Server: Konieczna.

For me it's the best solution Another MB as Efimienko would be totally useless.

Quote from Ttom

I agree with you - Konieczna dissapointed very much in WGP, she has perfect serve but attack very under average...Kwiatkowska is doing much better in attack, searching for free place in opponent court and not just hitting as hard as its possible...she has also good jump serve but not as good as Konieczna...and Podolec as OH - it would be good but who will be on MB? there are only 2 good - Bera and Agnieszka and somebody needs to be 3rd - maybe Efimienko ... so its who will be there as 4th OH - which one is less bad - Kruk or Kaczorowska - in my opinion Kruk played at least solid and should not be ashamed after her matches (in fact she is completely without experience), but Kaczorowska...

Podolec as OH after injury probably would stay in our dreams Unfortunately we lack good OH's, but we haven't Kaczorowska

Quote from Ttom

who knows, there were also people who said, she cant even play in NT and she was playing quite well on that MB, maybe she will surprise us

who knows in her best shape she played really good
btw. do you remember her on serve during qualifications for OlympicGames 2008?
If you don't remember link here :D

Everybody said that Podolec comeback is wan. At last season she scored 3 points as attacker so everyone was surprised seeing her at WGP roster. And at WGP she showed, that she didn't lose her great serve, that she is good at blocking as like before and that she can jump very high. And after this I just found an interview with Anna. She said that she can play, that she want play as OH/Opp, but Mariusz Wiktorowcz and Grzegorz Wagner (her club trainers) just didn't give her any chance because they still talk to her, that she is not ready. She always said that she is ready and still saying that. I hope, that our NT will go for OG and we'll see there Anna as a receiver. Maybe even at World Cup (if we'll play there) she will be back as OH.

Fortunately, she's on training with NT and she had chances to play. She is coming back, although not in best shape :).

Did you see how many players are in hall, seeing memorial? From these players we can easily build another NT
