We got a good point on the road with a number of injuries. Not sure why so many are talking about how bad the team depth is. No worse than 80% of the teams in this league.
i agree with you. Beyond the DP's, Cheyrou is excellent, Morrow very good, and Perquis, Jackson, Warner, Findlay, Oso (in the right position), Morgan (this year), and the goalies are all MLS calibre. Jury a bit out on Hagglund, Moore and Crevealle right now. But all an upgrade from 2013 to say the least.
I'm not so sure. I feel like half the teams have a more serviceable 3rd CB than we do and more dynamic options off the bench. When we look to the subs bench, it's either a relief because the guy who started is doing so poorly or we start watching through our fingers to make sure the replacement doesn't completely fall flat.
It boggles my mind that NE can bring Rowe and Fagundez off the bench.
Have there been any updates in regards to Jozy's injury? I haven't seen anything yet.
Even better, they could have brought on the powerhouse known as Jeremy Hall.
Joking aside, Farrell hasn't been great at CB and there's a reason why they moved Jones to the backline.
We had Creavalle and Jackson on our bench and let's not forget they helped their respective teams to Gold Cup finals as starters. There are many factors to why a player might play crap for us.

Considering Hall has played a total of one game this season, I think the chance of that is pretty low. Jackson is okay. Creavalle is awful, let's not dance around it. Farrell playing at CB is pretty much the equivalent of Morrow in there. Not ideal, i agree. None the less beyond the first 11 I'd take what they've got to deal with over us.
I liked what I saw from Simonin before he got hurt. I think he could have challenged Hagglund for the spot pretty easily. Too bad we never found out if he could yet. Seems like we are stuck with Hagglund as a starter for now.
SMH indeed. We signed Luke Moore to compliment the smaller, faster strikers that we paid a lot more for. If he was scoring in the good league he came from he wouldn't have come for the money he did.
Depend on him for goals? Yeah like 1 every 4 games like he did last year with 2 DP strikers ahead of him in the roster. He's overdue by a game unless you count his one actual start of the year and then he should have even more slack.
You don't like the way he plays. You're not alone but to look at his stats and say he didn't do enough last year is laughable.
Again, Hamilton will get his chance. He's young. He shouldn't be rushed. There is plenty of room on this team this summer for both of them to get minutes.
