Fahr not only with kill blocks, but also.with many important touches! Her footwork is really good!
-
Popovic is really bad
Also Mirkovic set a few good balls when she came in, but she is at her usual level again... -
Kurtagic her ability to block is a pleasure to watch! Unfortunately she is the only one the Serbian side who is playing good and has some fighting spirit...
-
If atleast everyone had the fighting spirit of M. Jasper!!!
-
Pfff Dutch team can't play the basics
We don't have the attacking power the compensate for the poor ball control... -
Kok could not do any worse than Jasper but she should have been given the chance earlier in the match. I don't know what happened between Kok and Koslowski, but I don't like that he has problems with so many players
Just curious, but with who does he have problems?
-
Luckily we have Indy Baijens, she is the only one playing at her own level!
-
Get off Stuut!!! She can't score and is too slow in block, also ten Brinke at least gives some energy!
-
Well Dutch team completely lost again... I think Bongaerts did a better job setting, but van de Vosse only made unforced errors during her time at court
-
Block and defense again nowhere to be found
Also van Aalen is playing her worst volleyball in years this tournament!!!
-
It's only Spain, but block and defense was much better for the Netherlands! Also van Aalen had better connection with her hitters.
-
Next to Knollema, today Gerritsen is also not with the team...
First I thought it might have been Jolien's migraines (iirc she missed previous NT matches because of it) but now that Suus is also ill, I'm wondering if theres something going around the team
Yes there is a virus going around in the team...
-
Pitt and Kentucky play later. Deleye looked really good on Friday.
Texas looked terrible last night. Arizona State didnt even play well and they still cruised.
Also O'Brien made a good impression on me!
-
I hope it was just 'nerves' for the tournament's first match, because they played really poorly
For me the biggest reason was van Aalen, her sets were a disaster! Don't understand why Bongaerts didn't got more play time... Normaly our block and defense is good, but it was nowhere to be found. Only Baijens did some good work in set 3. Stuut couldn't make a difference in attack, because of the bad sets of van Aalen and her block isn't that good. Also Hester Jasper did good in reception, but wasn't always in the right place in defense. If Knollema is still ill tomorrow, I hope to see some more of Kok. Her attacking power could be really useful. -
Another clear 4-0 victory!
In system we can play a good game with the fast sets of van Aalen, especially Dambrink and our middles are good in this system! The outside hitter position is our biggest weakness. Knollema isn't in good shape (all summer) and Jansen doesn't seem as good as at the beginning of VNL. Also Marrit Jasper isn't in the shape she has been last 2 summers, but is very valuable in the backrow! Kok is our only hard hitter, but still makes lot of youngster mistakes so we can't count on her in the decisive moments.

Clear 4-0 victory (especially the first 2 sets) against Bulgaria! I think starting 7 is pretty clear. Hester Jasper doing a good job at the libero position, she stabilize the reception line-up a lot!

Roster for the friendly matches against Bulgaria this weekend;
S: van Aalen & Bongarets
OPP: Dambrink & van de Vosse
OH: Knollema, Jansen, M. Jasper, Kok & Vos
MB: Baijens, Stuut, ten Brinke & Gerritsen
L: H. Jasper & Reesink
So it seems Daalderop is officially out for ECH, that's a big blow for the team...
Curious who will be the last one to get cut for ECH. I think the only option is to leave an outside hitter or a middle blocker. Since Timmerman left the team, I wouldn't bet on 4 middle blockers. If I had to choose, I would leave Vos out of the roster.

Is that Maret Grothues sitting in the audience behind the court? What would she be doing there?
She is a player agent at LZ Sport PRO

Britte Stuut will join Chieri untill November when she leaves for LOVB.
