1: A one, a two, a one two three FOUR! The last two games may not have been the prettiest but we are finding ways. Moreno continues to be a key reason for us finding points. He broke out the Gorilla Glue on the goal tonight rooting the DC keeper to the spot. Couple that with an assist and chance creations. Moreno is a complete player and he’s our best signing since Miggy. 

2: Gressel created and solved a lot of problems. I miss having him here. I think Lennon is a technical upgrade in a lot of ways. His stamina and fitness is other worldly, but that connection between Gressel and Josef was special and it’s something that just hasn’t developed between Josef and Brooks as of yet. 

3: We need Josef to be arriving in the box, not standing there waiting for the ball. The ball from Moreno is exactly what Josef needs more of. Give him half a chance and more than half the time he’s gonna take care of business. It’s good to see him scoring but he’s still not at his most lethal just yet, but he’s trending in the right direction at just the right time. 

4: Araujo is a baller. He wants to make a splash right out the gate. He has no fear and he exudes confidence. Maybe a little too much at times. I’m looking forward to seeing what he will continue to provide and it’s been very good so far. The ball he delivered to Josef should’ve been finished. Still, maybe he could take a few less shots from 25 yards out?

5: George Campbell put in a great short shift tonight. He lost his mark on one set piece that thankfully wasn’t converted, but every other time he was called on, he answered. He’s coming along in a big big way.
