So, let's see, the Revs can't catch us (we own tiebreaker), so we can finish 4th, 5th, or 6th.
DC hosts Cincinnati, Toronto hosts Columbus, we go to Montreal.
To finish 4th:
We win, DC doesn't win.
We tie, DC loses, Toronto doesn't win.
We finish 6th if:
We lose or tie, Toronto wins.
We finish 5th otherwise.
Final game of the season and I have no idea who the best starting XI is. The XI who started against DC were totally unconvincing. Aside from the defense, CCJ and Royer, every other position is totally up for grabs for me.

Royer wasn't great either. A major shake-up is hardly the answer anyway.Final game of the season and I have no idea who the best starting XI is. The XI who started against DC were totally unconvincing. Aside from the defense, CCJ and Royer, every other position is totally up for grabs for me.
I agree Royer was not good but as he has assisted or scored half the teams goals this season, he is the only one who deserves a pass in my book. We have no chance to do anything without him as no one else in the team has shown they can regularly create or score.

Hopefully we win. Home at TFC or away at DC are acceptable before having to go and play NYC away. Having to go through #3/#2/#1 in a row just to get out of the East dooms us.
Unfortunately having to play anyone in the playoffs dooms us.
And Olsen didn't turn DC into a bunch of whining, diving.. oh, nevermind

2018 BWP would have scored on two of the chances Barlow whiffed tonight - we need to finish.
we don't create a high enough volume of chance to miss the kind of chances our forwards left on the table table. Whether it was poor finishing and/or decision making.
Like that counter we had where Barlow has Royer to his left and he's one v one with a defender and ends up playing the ball to Duncan who has to turn back and play it to Kaku. By then the whole attack was dead.
Our whole attack now looks off and some of it is personnel but some of it is coaching. We keep trying to score by pulling back ball to Rza or Kaku to cross or wingback going to byline. Nothing else exists.
Difficult when the system was designed to create transitional moments closer to the opponents goal. Defense has looked much better clogging the passing lanes sitting and pressing out of the middle block they have been in the last few matches, but we dont really have the personnel or speed to counter from the positions we win the ball in.we don't create a high enough volume of chance to miss the kind of chances our forwards left on the table table.

agreed.. The solution might be continue to win those balls back in the opponents final third. Then to ask BWP to hold up the play and find Metros fast players on the break like a rushing forward Kaku, Taxi or Sims and then for BWP to peel off a CB and create space to get the ball back from anyone one of them and finish the play.. That or when NY get the ball in the final third a quick shot from distance and pouncing on the rebound..Difficult when the system was designed to create transitional moments closer to the opponents goal.
