If “Greg Hurst is on fire” isn’t still ringing in your ears or running through your head, are you really living right? While it is VERY tempting to give the hat trick hero all three bullet points in this column, I’m going to restrain myself.

Data Dump: at Madison (#2)
In our first game against Madison, it seemed like we wanted them to have the majority of possession, but we looked terrible in making that happen. 12 days later, it sure seemed like we did a MUCH better job of executing that plan. I didn’t anticipate us having 30.1% of the possession, but I lovedContinue reading “Data Dump: at Madison (#2)”
Data Dump: at Toronto FC II (Arizona Edition)
I’ll be honest, this game was 9 days ago but it feels like A LOT longer ago than that. This was match 6 of our season, but the result we got from match 7 made our draw in the desert feel a lot better. We have a few things to unpack from this match soContinue reading “Data Dump: at Toronto FC II (Arizona Edition)”

Let’s dive in. 1) No backline rotation. The disastrous affects of rotating our backline last year looms large in my memory. InContinue reading “Data Dump: at Greenville”
Data Dump: at New England
From a personal scheduling perspective there were a lot of advantages to getting my 2nd vaccine shot on Wednesday. Unfortunately, part of the downside was that I was not up for writing a recap. (Brief aside, get vaccinated!) But we should review the appetizer from Wednesday before the main course on Sunday, so let’s diveContinue reading “Data Dump: at New England”
Data Dump: at Fort Lauderdale
Life intervened and prevented me from having a comprehensive watch of this game. However, I have watched every minute of it at least once. And, *lowers voice to a whisper* it was a little boring. *returns to normal volume* We’re so very good at defending, and pressing, and counter-attacking, it all kind of melds intoContinue reading “Data Dump: at Fort Lauderdale”
