Huh? 2-1-1 this season even though we got embarrassed last gameYou have a point there. I am just amazed how incredibly incompetent Schnider has been as a GM. I thought Thelwell was bad, but on top of the damage Thelwell did, Schnider further downgraded CDM (CCJ), RB (Edwards) RW (Luq) by replacing the players he lost with inferior ones. Did not improve biggest weakness (striker). The only major positive is that papa Red Bull gave us Forsberg, who wanted to come to US, but seems like synergy more so than Schnider's brilliance. If he had just maintained the level of what we already had (not by keeping these players but replacing with equivalent ones or dare I say improved?), adding Forsberg via synergy would have made us so much better. Just frustrating to see, that's all.

Agree good message to team coach and front officecould be a good thing we got stomped this bad in showing Fo that this team just can't win things at this point.
Bad thing is it really shows how bad our CM depth is.
Amaya
Edelman
Stroud
Donkor

This heightens the stakes for this weekend's match against Columbust. Win or tie? (Need to put my rabbit's foot down before hitting "Post.")

This but 4222Vanzeir likely back for this one. Someone mentioned to me he had to go back to Belgium for a personal matter and his last match missed wasn't really injury related.
With that, hoping Stroud moved to the bench and Vanzeir steps back in.
Coronel
Duncan-SNealis-Eile-Tolkin
Edelman-Amaya
Vanzeir-Forsberg-Morgan
Manoel
Bench: Marcucci/Meara, DNealis, Harper, Reyes, Stroud, Carmona, Gjengaar, Burke and one of Donkor/Mitchell/Hall

The town ?!? WoofEarthquakes II just made a deal with a local FC to essentially partner together and rebrand. Team will now be called The Town FC.
Akin to minor league baseball model. A few MLS clubs tried this in USL.

A part of me would love to see them there, but USLC has really taken off since we last dominated that league. At the same time, we focused more on academy and growth. Based on the result against Hartford a couple weeks ago, probably better to be where we are.

What a write up thanks!Last preseason match today against a UPSL (semi-pro) side.
First match next weekend.
Current roster:
GK: Likely a signing incoming. Aidan Stokes will likley get a lot of time with Alan Rutkowski leaving for college (UNC) in a couple months and Marcucci pushing for first team minutes.
Defenders: Juan Mina and Copeland Berkley as the right backs. Centerbacks of Juan Gutierrez, Davi Alexandre, Aidan O'Connor, and Jair Collahuazo will battle for time. On the left Curtis Ofori will start the year injured but Omar Valencia has the position solidified. Backup is likely needed to start the year. Arian Recinos is no longer academy eligible but can be signed. Bryce Lebel, a former academy player, had a great college career with Louisville and has spent some time with NYRBII.
Midfielders: Stacked. Ibrahim Kasule and Steven Sserwadda can be on MLS teams. Mo Sofo already getting first team call ups over both of them. Bento Estrela has improved quite a bit and may be a season he needs to prove he is worth the MLS spot. Rafael Mosquera has some talent on the wing as well and Ronald Donkor may get sent down quite a bit when the first team is healthy. Aiden Jarvis, another academy player looked good last season, as did Dylan Sullivan, especially later in the season. Plus new signing, Malick Dembele. These spots will likely be the biggest battle for time with the talents we have. Adding in academy star Adri Mehmeti will also be a big help. Anel Ryce also a rumor and midfield option.
Forwards: Tanner Rosborough is on a path to an HGP deal and will likely feature more this season alongside Frank Ssebufu. Likely will see quite a bit of Mitchell and/or Hall this season as well. Wouldn't hurt to add another striker. Academy striker, Pipeloore Olanrewaju is another option that might be worth giving time to.
