    I have no words for the first set. I can't remember Dutch NT playing worse.


  • Why not put Sloetjes to OH and Pietersen to OPP?
    Coach should start to practise Sloetjes' recieve。。。

    Good point, but I think it will take some time, before she will receive in matches as well. And if Sloetjes would receive, and Pietersen play opposite this weekend, there would be no substitute-opposite on the bench.


    In two hours, Netherlands - Czech Republic will be played :teach: live at http://www.laola1.tv and http://www.volleybal.tv

    Yeah!
    Can not wait to see!

  • steenbergen。。。Great!

  • I could almost repeat last week's report against CZE...


    Sloetjes and Wensink (and Steenbergen) played well


    Grothues: horrible in reception !!!! In attack: good in fast balls, weak in high balls.


    Schoot: horrible in recpetion today!!!


    Stam: good in defense and reception, but horrible in attack.


    Dijkema: tactically/technically/blocking soooo weak....and she needs to set more balls to Robin!!! Good in serve.


    De Kruijf: weak in block, gets hardly a ball to attack. Spoiled on court in combination with Laura, though she has a lot of potential physically.


    What would happen if Sloetjes would play with a good setter...giving her sets for her high reach (at position 4)...poor opponents :white: :white:


  • NED needs a good setter!

  • I miss the game! So what's the score? Robin didn't play well?!!! She's maybe tired of this long season with Dresden! Still love her :thumbsup:

    2-3 for Czech Republic.


    Well, Robin hardly got a ball to attack. She can do much better with a decent setter. :win:

  • Thanks "flyingDutchman" for the very quick answer! I'm not an expert of volleyball but it seems to me that Robin is better on slide attack. Excuse me If I'm mistaken but It's look like your not a big fan Dijkema. Once again I'm not an expert of volleyball but last time I saw her playing she was playing decent. You be very nice If you can find me link to watch the game


  • I didn't watch the match but according to stats it seems like Groutheus was the best receiver among both teams players :what: (33 receiving with 76% positive and 67% excellent is more than decent I think) Also %48 attacking is also very good in 5 sets match :whistle:

    I was in Almere today and I agree with some of you.


    Laura was playing good, but I think Femke can do better.
    Robin was playing difficult match because pass was so bad, Laura couldn't give her much balls. Quinta was playing better because pass was better that time.
    Lonneke was good, I heard she is no 1 in stats of European League!
    Anne is on her way back after operation. She hopes to come back in August. The same for Chaine, she had operation on her knee, come back in NT in august,if everything is going well ofcourse.

  • Sorry, but she have a boyfriend....:P

    Oh ok I didn't know she has a boyfriend! Of course a beautiful women like her can't be single! :tzz: By the way you know a lot of thing about her!!! How do you know all that stuff about her?!

    She played in Amstelveen , my support club, and that's why she knows me, and I know her, she is always very open about all things. And I hear things from "a person familiair with the players " :P
