This will be a very tough one. Dallas is a good team. We still need wins desperately but getting any result against Dallas will be a feat.

I'd be happy with a 0-0 result.

I'd be happy with a draw, but really think we'll need to score a goal or two if we want to even have a chance at that.


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.

I am assuming Ouimette will be banned. Is Perinelle going to be ready? Or are we stuck with Lawrence again to partner Zubar?

Perinelle not ready, my guess, til end of May.

Dallas lost 3-0 to Vancouver. Home teams in general play better.  There hasn't been a game where we haven't dominated possession. We just gotta finish and find better CBs.

Baah.

I suspect Perinelle not ready to start til post Copa Ameica 3wk break when we restart mid June


Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

Even if they think he has a chance to play in May, they need to wait until after the Copa break.  A 30+ year old coming off a major knee injury is something you should be extremely careful with. Probably could do with a couple reserve games also.

Yea, Bah and Zubar aren't the most comfortable CB duo, but considering we had to start Ouimette and Duvall at CB one game, Babar is a huge upgrade. I'd rather DP come back 100% and stay fit.

That's a lot of traveling for Dallas (to Vancouver, then NY), so perhaps some travel fatigue in play?

I didn't watch it, but apparently Dallas jumped all over their ass the first 30 mins and could've have a couple goals, then it went tits up.

 

Hopefully we can weather the storm -- ya know, get past the 3rd minute without conceding - and play as well going forward as we did against OC.

We can all expect that we'll get burned a time or ten, but let's hope the boys confidence is up and we can get a few in the net.  No own goals, either.

Wear 'em down and all that.

 

Need Chic Charnley's prediction here.

 

Cheers!
