Watched Charlotte's last game and they are meh outside of their center forward Copetti who is a workhorse who can finish plays. Dude may actually give Nealis and Reyes something to worry about physically for the first time all season.

Their defense looks crap right now. Atlanta tore them wide open. They're having rough season start. Could be opportunity for our midfield and forwards to go at them hard.

They are glacially slow to react to any transitions and they are mistake prone. Orlando should have scored more than the one they did. The only reason I am not confident in a win this week is because we are missing Burke and Morgan. If Vanzeir is ready to play at least a half I'd feel a lot better.

Exactly.....our offense is not clicking just yet. Instead of Burke battling we will have to rely on Barlow for chaos futbol.

Even if they haven't played together much at all, I still feel more confident with Manoel and Dante than Barlow, with or without Morgan.

I wonder if we are going to see a similar game to last week where we play more defensively with Barlow in the first half, and then unleash Manoel and Dante together in the second half. Neither of them seem to be good for 90 minutes yet, and imo its a priority to have them on the field together.

Here's to hoping that Yearwood can be on the subs bench what with the call ups and injuries. I am expecting Elias to play 90 minutes and hope that Barlow gets subbed off early in the 2nd half. Luquinhas and Harper have a big job ahead of them. If either Amaya or Edelman get subbed off, we will get to see a bit of Stroud as well.

Hoping Vanzeir is ready for a start. Yearwood seems to be back in training. Morgan the big question mark. If he can't go, move Manoel to the XI.

Coronel
Duncan-SNealis-Reyes-Tolkin
Amaya-Edelman
Harper-Luquinhas-Morgan
Vanzeir

Bench: Meara, DNealis, Ndam, Nocita, Stroud, Yearwood, Fernandez, Barlow, Manoel

Dont see how Barlow isnt starting, unfortunately. Strubers system relies on a big guy who can compete for aerial duels.

Maybe you get Elias-Vanzeir, but more likely Barlow gets at least a half of ineffective play.

No Morgan, but Vanzeir, Yearwood on the bench.

Small lineup. Yearwood may come on early.
