Another week of the CPL calls for another episode of Mac & Milty! Today, Mackenzie is joined by Steve Milton to break down Forge FC’s most recent matchup to Atletico Ottawa. They discuss the overall events of the match and how fatigue impacted this 3-0 loss for the Hamilton side. We also hear Coach Bobby’s thoughts at the Post match press conference.

Key Takeaways:

• Coach Bobby emphasized that Forge needed to be more precise and effective in the final third against Ottawa.
• Despite being a team of newcomers, Atletico successfully executed their game plan and played with a sense of familiarity.
• Forge must refocus on the CPL and prioritize their regular season commitments.
• The upcoming match against York United is crucial, as both teams are tied with 10 points and currently share 4th place in the standings.
• Nothing will come easily; Forge need to score goals to regain momentum and continue a strong regular season.
• Mental maintenance will be important for players in distinguishing goals between the Canadian Championship & regular CPL season.
