Too bad with Ngoma. Kid could be one of our top players.

[joke about it being two U20 teams]

If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

Argh, that is very frustrating, especially after they held him out for like half a season to make sure he was healthy.

Ahh, very nice goal. That kid has ability. Could very well end up with him and Vanzeir getting most minutes with Burke sprinkled in. I know a lack of size but can make it work

Maybe he's not injured? Some conflicting reports...

Between their handling of Ngoma with the first team and Estela with RB2, I think the team is just being super cautious with injury prone kids who are still growing. Ngoma's hamstrings gave out on him twice last year, they probably just figured traveling for a full preseason when he isn't needed week one was an unnecessary risk.

Good news and not a bad thing to be conservative

Can see the goal we conceded to the u-20s in this tweet really bad clearance from marcucci after a not great touch and control from Reid https://twitter.com/...3sGTzMCsOXeHDbg

I will say I think we feel a lot more confident about the squad going into this season than last? We all pretty much felt we weren't a playoff team last year and we still made it. Didn't go far but still made it, even though we were picked to finish under the line in the conference. This season, some new faces, more experience, I like where we're at.
