1: 20 East at 5:00 in the afternoon has more going forward than we do. It’s not that we look afraid to go forward it’s that we know we have nothing and have sort of accepted it. It wasn’t until the 41st minute that we can crossed a dangerous ball into the box. Truly our best chances came from just lobbing in a couple dangerous balls into the box and creating a bit of chaos. There wasn’t much to speak of from the build up or creative play. 

2: You know when the biggest cheer of the first half comes from a deflected free kick that we have problems. I’m all for “trust the process”but results have got to come or else of course the process is going to get questioned. Missing key players hurts a lot but find me a season where a team isn’t missing players. You have to problem solve and play through it. Hopefully some of that problem solving comes in the transfer window. 

3: Cubo emotes strong “You’re doing great honey” vibes. That’s it. That’s the take. 

4: At some point Jackson Conway, and other bench players, have to start seeing minutes. How are we supposed to have a deep roster if they don’t. Look, we’re not seeing training day in and day out but Heinze’s comments about Conway have been largely positive so what’s the hesitation? Give him a 20 minute run out. I understand not subbing him in the dying minutes because from about 78th on, we actually came alive, but damn. Sub out Cubo and bring him on in the 70th and see what he can do. At the same time, outside of Conway, there’s no one really on the bench who can come in and even have the potential to change things in any meaningful attacking way. 

5: The summer transfer window is coming and we’ve got to make some moves. Without knowing where exactly we stand with our budget/cap here is what I’d like to see 

Cubo-move on

Damm-move on

Barco-move on
