He had his one moment where he cut in solo to a dangerous shooting position, and unfortunately absolutely muffed it. If he hits that one, we may be talking about how he was the hero in our 1-0 and how picking him up changed the course of the season. His injury was really unfortunate, he never put it fully back together after that.
I'm also curious what game Locke was watching instead of this one haha. Forge came out and pressed HARD to start the game. Cavalry was having a really tough time playing out out of the back and struggled to keep possession as such. We started with absolutely no press and hanging back in transition.
As the game progressed, Cavs began to press more, and we absolutely took over from the end of the first half and on as Forge started to wilt. Basically Tommy did what Locke described Smyminontitisusisopolis doing.
I totally agree our bench can't mach theres. They have Ontario MLS cast-off after MLS cast-off to throw at teams late. We optimized to win that in 90, and were in a world of hurt as soon as Forge scored their first goal. Such a shame. I think the biggest error was not getting Mason and Fisk on to kill the game as soon as Musse scored that goal. That's the recipe that closed off their leads throughout the second half of the year.
