Nice to see the boys put up 5.
One minute blip in a very good performance. Murrell may be the answer to who will finish for us.

Small sample size thus far, but my first in-person viewing of the season has me convinced we will see a whole lot of different finishers this season. The offensive talent - some of it still a bit raw, but palpable - is meat-falling-off-the-shortrib plentiful. Player after player looking to go to goal. The penchant for ill-timed and ill-placed turnovers and some shaky defense is the flip side of that. The backline is plenty talented, so I don't think there any sort of insurmountable problem there... just need to tighten up some decision-making in key spots. Goal 1: Goal 2: Goal 3: Goal 4: Goal 5:

Frustrating game... but also very entertaining. Some real sparks and bite, Tournament-levels of competition despite the warmth. Brian rates Denver very highly, described them as a top ten team. Could be! But the win really was there for the taking, and it's disappointing to have left it untaken.
My highly advanced analysis of this one, channeling lic: the team needs about 25% more meanery. The Pios were BIG and PHYSICAL and ORNERY (including their mouthy bench that earned one yellow and deserved a few more). Going toe to toe with them is fine, but if you want a return trip to Cary, gotta give even better than you get.

I did not see this coming. Ah well, good for us! And good on the coaches for keeping a secret lol - no hint of this at the Coaches Corner sessions last week.

Lots of talent, but lots of youth as well.

Lots of talent, but lots of youth as well. The youth's not really at the back, though - at least not this game. Have got to fix those mental errors on the part of players who should know better - and fast.

Agreed.
The give away goals were almost a replay of Maryland.

With Wu and Nielsen back there we have talent with some mistakes so far. Where I find the breakdown is a big drop-off in the midfield but what team wouldn't have same with the loss of Polvara and Zawatski (sp?).
Fun team to watch with tons of young individual talent but total team play not there yet. May need some seasoning.

Agreed.
Between the talent level and the staff quality, this is not a team you want to face in 6 weeks.
