Why not start Ashley Fletcher... This is going to be a tough run of matches for the next month. It may be best to rotate with this likely being the opponent that's the weakest out of the next handful of opponents...

Maybe giving starts to guys that have gotten less minutes...

And maybe start Fletcher up top with Morgan. And Omir behind them as CAM...


And finish the match with Luquinhas as CAM and Ngoma coming on around the 60th minute for Morgan and Barlow finishing the match next to him replacing Fletcher at like the 70th minute

I can't believe I'm going to say this but maybe start Pendant and avoid Tolkin and Amaya getting yellows, if anything have Tolkin come on as a sub. And maybe give Yearwood a start. And also instead of starting Omir bringing him on as a sub and starting Wiki...

---------Morgan - - -Ngoma
---------------Luquinhas
---Pendant--Cassares-Yearwood-Harper
-----Monzon/Reyes-Long -D Nealis/Edwards
------------------Carlos

The idea is that as of late Morgan and Ngoma and Luquinhas look to be the best scoring chances as they look the best at finishing lately... Hopefully can get a early lead.. And in the second half can make subs to keep the lead and bring in fresh legs to the middle and backlines and finish the match with Barlow as a lone striker if metro have a lead by the time the 60th minute comes along.

Tolkin and Amaya can come on in the second half and save their legs.. And maybe try to save Morgan's and Luquinhas legs and not have them play 90..

I just spent the weekend in Cincinatti for a wedding.   Was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it there.   The home town support for FCC is unreal.  Can't go into a bar without seeing a million flags and scarves.   I was jealous.   

 

Fuck that chili, tho.....

Only game in town for most of the season.
Reds drew 13K last night, many of them Mets fans.
The club seemed to develop properly.
Grew from success in lower leagues and the USOC
and convinced the owner to spend on MLS.
FCC 9th in announced attendance, RB 23rd.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

I had fun when I was there for USA MEX. Their stadium is a better version of RBA, imo, esp with how the SG section are set up.

TQL is also in a great location.  I'm not too familiar with Cincinnati (only been there once, for USA - MEX), but the stadium seems to be pretty centrally located, next to the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.   Pretty convenient for pre and post game drinking and eating.  Hotels are within walking distance of the stadium if you want to catch a game there.

We'll have more players available for this one than it feels like we've had all season. Sean Nealis is the only regular player confirmed out, I think. 

 

I'm hoping to see the return of Reyes this weekend. Edwards was in training yesterday as well, gotta imagine he'll try to play through any pain. I think Struber goes with those two and Long as the three CBs

Do we have any players in danger of suspension due to Yellow card accumulation? If so - sit them so they don't miss the derby next week against the blue team

 

If we're sitting Tolkin for any reason, I'd rather start Morgan at LWB and bring Pendant on as a late game sub.

None on this list: https://www.mlssocce...plinary-summary
Smurfs have 2 biggies. Cannot see either being rested at YS v. the Revs.

Not an issue anymore

Cincy just traded a lot of GAM to Philly for Sergio Santos, who does happen to score against us...

That game-tying goal he scored at RBA after Philly went down a man was infuriating.
