Can Scally Play LB, could be an improvement over Sweat at this point? or is he exclusively a right-sided player? Would be good to give him minutes and he can't be worse can he?

He may have to be if Sweat is injured after Saturday's game. It sounded from the TV crew that he came off due to injury. So it might either be Scally or Rocha starting. Or maybe Dome goes three in the back with Ibeagha, Callens, Chanot. That might be the best option if Sweat can't go.

You know he would start Rocha. Even though he should start Ofori there

We're going to get fucked.

And it’s going to be cold and raining. Great way to spend a Sunday.

[Fantazma]

He deputized as a LWB and LB last season. He’s a left footed player.

what game was this? he always was in the middle, he may have drifted here and there but not outright LWB or LB. im not convinced of his defensive abilities though, i still like him coming off bench instead but thats just me, even though he scored this weekend.

Oh man you’re putting me on the spot. He appeared as a left sided back more than once last year.

ill need an example of game ( maybe it was one of the games i missed and did not watch) i know dude tends to drift to that side sometimes but not as an outright LB or LWB from what i remember.

In both cases it was an in game switch from what I recall.

More times than not he was covering for Sweat or Mata from a central midfield position.

You mean as a replacement or because they were always out of position lol

Still a lot of unbought tickets. This plus rain = really bad attendance?

Unrelated but I noticed a lot of games seemed to have only mediocre attendance this weekend.

Which is interesting because I thought, of the three other games I watched this weekend, that the level of play was miles better than last season. League is really coming into its own. Fun league to watch now.

Other than those who have already bought into the club who wants to watch in person what we watched on tv Saturday? For the 500th time the club has no identity. We have no idea what we’ll see against DC.
If it’s the same 5 at the back with no outlet in midfield I don’t see how we could possibly have so much as a winning season.
It somewhat worked on counters against a very bad Orlando team but the entire game they walked the ball up to our goal. When they made subs and improved their attack they capitalized on our shaky defensive tactics.

I don't think we have ever seen Dome get that conservative at home.

 

[Gotham Gator]

I recall Ofori playing at LB one time, I think, but I can't recall the game. I think we also had a game where Tinnerholm and SAS were at either end of the backline, but I could be wrong on that one.

Would much rather have Ofori at LB than Rocha.

Mid to low 40s with SNOW in the forecast so far.

orlando was shockingly more empty than i thought, it got better by halftime but still lots of gaps of empty seats at least when i paid attention.

EDIT: I guess the cold? i mean you saw denver was in middle of blizzard

No issues with Denver.

But Orlando, LA both poor showings.
