I was expecting the Netherlands to put a good fight after their first good game in the tournament yesterday. But Selinger changes the line up today and replaces Savelkoel with Jasper…
When your team finally played better and won a good game you should have continued to play with the same starting 6 whose have better confidence, and to build some more momentum between them.
Jasper can’t score and as a short player her reception also isn’t that good to compensate her poor attack. Selinger’s decision to put an early double sub in the second set to play with an OH & Opp who both couldn’t score at the front row was just a disaster.
Jasper isn't to blame for this loss. Selinger should have used Savelkoel instead of Buijs.

To play on which position? OH or receiving OPP
Both could be good options! Also libero would be a possibility if you ask me. Schoot is nowhere near the level she showed last summer and Knip is a big question mark
-
Why is Buijs still om court!?!?
Flashback to ECH 2019; Turkey scoring with so many tips, but Dutch team isn't anle to pich them up..

Please Grothues come back for WCH!!! We need you

I like Timmerman her sharp angles when she hits the slide attack!
Netherlands with to many unforced errors at the end. Selinger should have used double sub earlier...
-
is Baijens staying in Schwerin?
Yes she is

Such a sweetheart
I hope she will commentate on Dutch television during WCH!

I wasn't able to watch a lot of volleyball lately, but from what I've seen the setter position seems problematic for Dutch NT! Normally I like Bongaerts, but she seems like a complete other player
She used to play at a fast tempo, but all she does know is playing high balls. I wonder if it's a tactic of Selinger, because Dijkema is doing completely the same thing when she enters the court...
Also I wonder what Selinger will do with the fourth middle blocker spot during WCH
Timmerman and Lohuis seem to be his regular starters. I don't think it's necessary to play all matches with this duo. I would really like to see what Baijens is capable of! Also I'm curious if we will see Polder in the last week of VNL. She hasn't been in NT for some years, but had a great season in France. If Polder won't get a chance, Selinger should take only 3 middle blockers to WCH. Korevaar and de Zwart won't have any impact and since Dambrink isn't showing a good level and Plak is injury prone, a fifth outside hitter won't be a bad idea!

Reception from the Netherlands is so bad
Schoot also isn't playing at the same level as she did last summer...
-
I wonder when Selinger will try to use Baijens… I don’t think there are a level of difference between her and the two starter
Timmerman is better, but Baijens should atleast get a chance instead of Lohuis!

Is number 3 some sort of holy number in Japan?
It seems almost all recent captains wore number 3.
-
Selinger is such a bad coach
-
Savelkoel is bad today. Knollema should get a chance!
-
Plak is looking more and more like her old self
Great to see some #PlakPower again
-
Where has Savelkoel been all these years?
She's 27 already, is she such a late bloomer?
Late bloomer for sure! She never played for any youth team for Netherlands. Also she preferred her studies and she has now completed it

Eda Erdem isn't my favourite player, but I have much respect for her! Playing all matches for her club team and playing all tournament for NT is really special at her age
