It really does look incredibly windy there right now for this game

Down 2-0 . . . . Malcolm Shaw catches the defenders and Carducci off-guard from well outside the box.

Geezuz . . . Mavila missing TWO open nets in the last 10 minutes to catch-up . . . The Cavs are being gifted opportunities to catch up and they can't finish.

Not crazy about playing with three back, especially in these windy conditions.

Rough one. The first goal was some shoddy defending. The second was a bit unlucky but it was a good strike.
Cavs still need one more win to qualify I think.

Better to lose now and learn from it. A little adversity in the first round might be better than cruising through 7-0.

With their loss to Valour, FC Edmonton have been eliminated. FC Edmonton is no good.

Defense is getting absolutely exposed... 3-4-3 is a bad formation for this team. Need to see Brown and Cordova and end the Haber experiment.

Well yikes. Things are getting interesting now. Cavalry look mediocre and heavily beatable. I agree with Kurt Larson that they shouldn't be tinkering and looking for their best selves at this point.
Y9 is a must win now. Hopefully we see a 3-5-2 or modified 4-4-2.
Tommy is fired up in his post-game. Let's hope we see a response.

I liked the idea of Haber as a target man option, but he's just too one dimensional, and using him means attacks only come in through the wings, and teams figured that out. Even if we had Luca and Escalante, need some central options that don't rely exclusively on swinging in a perfect cross.
I'd like to see 90 minutes of Cordova.

I’d like to see a 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2. The back three seems disjointed and the wingers are weak. Or figure out a way to get Ledgerwood, Adekugbe, and Simmons in the middle of the field at the same time and shore things up in the middle of the park.
I trust Tommy to right the ship and get it figured out!

I think we can all agree that this team is substantially weaker than last year. Even if we had Luca and Escalante... I don't think Malonga and Buscher were effectively replaced.
I'd like to see a 3-4-1-2 formation next match (I'd prefer a style of 4-4-2, but question if we have the players), something like:
Carducci
Zator-Trafford-Wheeldon
Farsi(or Pasquotti)-Adekugbe-Ledgerwood-Mavila
Camargo (Oliver)
Brown-Cordova
Anyway you cut it, there's going to be a hole. At least this way, we should control possession and not give up freebies like Boskovic did today.
Simmons and Zebie are sub quality, Northover is reckless, Boskovic is too raw for this level, Haber is past it (at best), and Pasquotti has been surprisingly ineffective this season.

I believe in the Jays.
|
We just aren’t going to be able to create much in attack when we start with 5 defenders and two defensive minded midfielders.
