Have at It People
Win the fucking game convincingly, make smart substitutions, play with some killer instinct and with a fire in your heart. How's that?
They did not look convincing vs Columbus on Sat. With a change in mentality the team could eke a win out at home.
Put Roberts in, it doesn't matter what the defenders say in public but we all know they are going to play differently if he is back in again, its better to put to give Bono a rest as this is a must win game where we need everyone focused.
Roberts should start, but I'm guessing it'll be Bono again. Management has some weird affinity for Bono (justifying his high selection in the draft?). Roberts has clearly outperformed him in USL games since they've both been with TFC II. I had a suspicion when Roberts was said to have "won" the backup job coming into the season that he was still viewed as being behind Bono. For a developing player, the starting role at the USL level is more valuable than being a backup with the MLS squad because you actually play; it would make sense for management to give the playing time to the player they thought was better. So I wasn't surprised at all when Irwin went down and suddenly Roberts has lost the backup role out of thin air. If I were Roberts and I can't get any playing time over this stretch of games without Irwin I'm probably searching for a new club this off-season.
IIRC, when Irwin went down injured, somebody in here pointed out that Q and Bono had about the same number of starts in USL.
I hope Bono doesn't start but if he does after that gaffe, what's it going to take to demote a guy?
Time to put the past behind us and get our game faces on. We're playing a division rival who can overtake us in the standings with a win. We need to win this, not tie and definitely not lose. DC is looking more and more like the 2013 version, so this should be ours.
Note to a passing Mod
Can we start pinning the next game day thread again so its easier to find? This practice seems to have stopped a couple of games ago.
I think he will start just to make sure his confidence isn't completely gone. If they lose against DC, I expect Vanney will have no choice but to put Roberts in to save his job.Quote:

then start him in TFC 2. TFC 1 is for the real prosQuote:

Disagree with the sentiments towards Bono. Yes he made a glaring error, however in the bigger picture I think he has done pretty well since he came into the side. Lots of people were singing his praises not too long ago and a number of TFC players voiced how well he had been doing. Drop him for the game on Sat and you will destroy his confidence. Not trying to admonish his guilt on that play however there are a few other players on the team who didn't exactly cover themselves in glory leading up to the shot. If he messes up again on Sat then sure drop him after that.

If we are not going to give our Academy product a shot after several years of being an under study and productive USL goalkeeper then we need to move on from him this off-season.
Hamilton was thought of as being lower on the depth chart than Q at the beginning or the season. Not saying he will have that same type of impact but he deserves a shot at this point.
I think he's been bad even if we exclude those 2 mistakes. Every game he has moments where he comes off his line erratically and gets no one near the ball. Guy is trying too hard to be like Manuel Neuer.
The moment Irwin was injured, we should've made picking up a proper starting keeper our #1 priority.
We have more important needs then a #2 keeper.Quote:

In other news, the current forecast for Saturday is hot and humid with little wind. Don't expect a lot of hustle and bustle out there.
And DCU just dropped its one DP striker for a more of a grafter type. Will change their offence considerably but not sure how this will play out on Saturday.
FWIW. Ricketts could be available by the weekend.
and BEZ will be buying him out in Jan.
That's going to go over at best as a "Meh".
Think people are underestimating his abilities. He has experience. He'll be useful against ordinary MLS defences. We only see him in difficult World Cup qualifiers.
Some speed on the counter would help a lot, although that needs to involve moving the ball quickly as opposed to just having quicker players. We move the ball at the speed of molasses.
i hope in my lifetime we actually get a AM
Agreed. Not a sprinter but a quick thinker.Quote:

LOL. There goes the only true creator they have in the squad.Quote:
