Dylan Nealis is working his way into the RB picture for me over Duncan. The team has just looked better when Dylan is on the right. And on the left Tolkin obviously if he's available. 

 

It's close but I think between those two you ride the hot hand, and right now its Dylan. Great secondary assist on the first goal last week and he almost had a second on a nearly identical play later in the first half (one of the ones Dante missed). 

 

Nice to have these conversations because both players are doing well enough to earn a spot, instead of having to pick your poison...

For backup refs, at least for our games, I thought they've done a pretty damn good job. Honestly not much of a drop, if any, from the normal standard of refereeing.

I think I'm impressed with Schwarz most of all this game. Columbus caught on to his plan and most of the players requires to execute it we're missing anyway, so he introduced a totally new way to get the ball forward compared to the first four games. He basically took the idea Struber was trying to pull off to start 2023 with two strikers playing off each other, but he actually made it work.

Wiki did score on a GK blunder, but I was disappointed with his decision making all game. Reminds of Barlow a bit: a lot of effort, but missing some key ingredient.


He's always going to struggle in that spot of that formation because he's so left footed. He found himself cutting inside more often than not, and could only pass lateral/backwards.

Manoel is likely a better winger than he is a striker.

 

I was really surprised that this wasn't their long term plan for him and they stuck with trying to shoehorn him into the target striker role. He's picking up pieces of it but he's clearly not a natrual.
