Can you bounce back on the road from a loss at home? The situation took a sharp turn for the worse when nine international stars suddenly announced their withdrawal from the tournament, including many of the mainstays of the club and national teams. Even if the interim coaching staff can't do anything about it, it will be difficult to salvage the situation. If the list is wrong, at least you can avoid being misled and hurt. What can you do in the face of such a predicament?
Most of the starting lineup is not a regular starter, with the likes of center Watkins and back Curtis Jones absent, while a handful of core players, such as Bellingham and Pickford, hold the team together.
However, unexpectedly, the team managed to get a big win in the face of adversity and regained the initiative to reach A Grade. With only a narrow victory over Ireland in the final round, the team is expected to return to the A-League.
