A lot of lessons for next season in that game.

******

The non-starter subs who started or came on showed why they are subs.

Edwards was really bad. He was jogging back after a foul & Vanney yelled at him to run as he was playing a WB position. He let players go out wide on him 4 times.

Ricketts did nothing of note - had one half chance. Didn't provide an outlet. Did the dirty work defensively but he has to play others in. Columbus has a bad backline -they were not threatened at all.

Hasler - worst game of his season in my opinion. Timid, poor touches.

Osorio was a little engine running back and forth but his touch was awful.

Bradley had a wonderful game, controlling their midfield. His touches were excellent.

Moor had one bonehead play and got away (as did Mavinga) with it but apart from that, they were solid.

Bono's distribution is poor but his command of the area was superb.

Delgado did his usual workmanlike job clogging up stuff.

Morrow & Beitashour didn't get wide enough for me but they held up the wide play well.


Vasquez was stopped - CBus held him cold (that won't be so easy with mobile forwards next week).



***********


I consider this a loss. We have to win next week. And CBus is decent enough offensively. We are still favourites. And, playoffs at this stage should not be easy. We didn't want it enough tonight, and that's annoying.
