"ill just sneak by and then take out their necromancer in their backline-"
the necromancer in their backline:

Venator extracting 5000 souls from the enemy Rem that's been farming our backline

nobody on that backline is having a good time but, oof. OOF.

What's happening with our backline?!?
November 8, 2026 at 8:42 PM
What surprises me more today...

THE CLEAN SHEET!!!!

With a Frankenstein backline 😱

Vamos Orlando!

she’s going to start throwing punches at her own backline and I don’t blame her

Project needs a backline for SJ, pleaseeeee give us a chance I want to play the game again 🙏

Only got the backline wrong. Knew he wasn’t gonna start Lacey…

Liked:
- Alastuey, Torres and Burton played well and kept control when they were on and made a few great line breaking passes.
- The season is over.

Disliked:
- Pantemis has our number and their backline is top notch.
- Our backline is a patchwork quilt.
- Q2 continues not to be a fortress.

Love the Spirit backline practicing during the delay! Glad Arnold is ok. #VamosSpirit #HeySpirits

This. Ireland's whole backline seemed to go up a notch with Baloucoune, Keenan and Hansen all operating together.

The question is, given injury profiles, how often we can realistically expect to see them all on the pitch at the same time.
Thought him, Bobby and Hugo were the difference on Friday. Our pack got the upper hand and gave a platform, but the difference in our attacking output when those three are playing together and linking up is incredible.

Austin has been doing a good job of delaying trailing runs in the box, and Portland's backline hasn't kept track of them yet.

Thank god for Pants and Finn, because otherwise this thing would have been level. #RCTID

The missing link in Manchester City’s midfield triangle is becoming glaringly obvious. Can Enzo Maresca solve the riddle? Elliot Anderson is drowning under a dual-role crisis (deep-lying playmaker and anchor), while Enzo Fernández’s advanced positioning leaves the backline isolated and vulnerable.

other than the couple of tries that Wilson and hanks have had the thorns really haven't caused much danger for the spirit. the backline is definitely doing its job

72' Sam Hiatt makes the exchange for Isa Obaze on Portland's backline.

The first time we are seeing Hiatt after a long stretch of matches, a player who at one point was wearing that captain's armband for the Thorns #BAONPDX

Ilie drops into the backline with Desler and Gallagher as wingbacks. Alastuey-Torres midfield. Vazquez is the only DP in the starting lineup. The other two are on the bench. #RCTID

SWINDON TOWN (H)

Hollowhead returns, the daft shitter

Opportunity to get minutes in legs of a few here

Rendle, Hayman, Mwaro and Campbell would start for me, albeit it means the backline is pretty raw.

Anyone arsed? Anyone going?

Predictions?

for chieri shes gonna be a healer bc she loves being helpful & getting all the praises & thank-yous from the ppl she helped. and in canon shes also in the backline so it's fitting to give her another backline position.

whether chieri is the religious type of healer (cleric, priest) or non-religious
November 7, 2026 at 3:53 PM
She’s been absolutely rock solid on the backline and creating chances up top for the Spirit. This is long overdue!
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, GABBY CARLE HAS BEEN NAMED TO THE NWSL’S BEST XI OF THE MONTH! ⭐️🥳

That backline
November 8, 2026 at 8:54 PM
Hard to overstate how much better Ireland’s backline functions with a fit and firing Hugo Keenan and Mack Hansen pulling the strings.

What was so ponderous and leaden last season has so much more guile and energy with them hitting lines and probing with the boot.
November 6, 2026 at 9:47 PM
the ever supportive backline of pretty ladies
November 3, 2026 at 5:34 PM
As expected, some tweaks to the XI.

Interested to see how that backline works.

#VWFC
Elloumi leads the line today after returning from suspension. Gherasimencov gets the start at LB.

And Ranko is back in the startingXI!

30' A visible sigh of relief. Washington outplays Portland's backline yet again, and Luvanga misses the 1-on-1 shot against Arnold by mere inches #BAONPDX
