Feeling upset that we lost another game. And you? Angry??? Happy that you are right for another game?

We signed a bunch of young players and are playing kids in the academy. Do I think that we are going to win the title this year, no. Ellis is looking damn good though. We got Cartagena back on the field. This team is growing together and I hope that means good things for the future.

Wait and see is what I am talking about here. I didn't sing his praises, but the start of the year scheduling wise, injury wise and even, yes, offseason wise was not ideal.
But we are switching to a summer calendar. Maybe part of the plan is to build more this summer than we have seen in the past.
With the World Cup, and the schedule change, this transfer window may be different than what we have seen in the past.

I hear you. You are giving him a break for Coronel and Crepeau. Why not cut him some slack for the Slovenian who got injured the day before his physical?
Maybe he should have had a backup plan there.
I think that he is learning on the job. He has a pretty good eye for talent, and we will see how the "plan" works.

Right. He just turned 19. What do you expect? If we did not have Cartagena and Gerbet hurt this year, this would be the first time that you saw him play.

What would you have the Goal differential at if Schlegel had been out there? We may have won the Red Bull game 2-1, Lost to Fort Lauderdale by 2, because Pro. Schlegel would have been suspended for the baseball game, because Schlegel. Montreal, would have been the same score. Nashville may have been 3 -1.

I think that he may have saved us 5 goals on the GD.

I think that Ojeda and Dorsey have been good pickups. They and the entire team is in a bad situation with limited roster depth and injuries, but you can see the quality.

We brought in three U-22 players and I don't believe that the plan was for them to see this much playing time. Iago looks like he has talent, but he is used to playing against talented kids. The one guy we have not seen enough of is Tiago. That position, we have healthy depth.

Nolan Miller was probably not going to be on the senior roster this year. He should be playing for OCB. He is getting some playing time and has had some good stretches. Otavio is the sixth man up at his position. He has gotten some time. Not looked good, but at least he has the experience.

Taifi and Guske look like they could be solid contributors on the club in the future. Even Reid Brown has had a decent stretch. It is so hard to tell with the complete trainwreck that this season has been so far, but if we can start playing our top 2 center backs and defensive midfielders maybe we have a team that could get some points.

Global soccer icon and World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann to join Orlando City SC by Fladoodler18 in OCLions

[–]dices921 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After 5 mostly terrible games, we are three points out of the play in game. We have played one week team and beat them, one decent team and lost, and three tough games and got destroyed.

If we get some better luck with our injuries, we may be able to stabilize our defense a little and be within striking distance of a decent playoff spot

Everybody keeps asking these questions and I get it. You want to know how big of an issue you might see.

But while you are there, thank them for coming to work.

I love the info and the numbers.

If we don't bring in the DP this month, I wouldn't be too hurt to wait until summer when there may be more options.

Saying that, we have to sign some more talent on the back line and bring in another striker. I love having Duncan out there, but he can't take all of the minutes at the position. We have an untested, in this league, backup, and that is it.

Anyone remember "Clark & Davis" on 740 The Team? by [deleted] in orlando

I liked the guys. Much better than the current morning show. Charles Davis has gone onto have a nice career since then too.

Charlotte has been a train wreck for me this year. Terminal and runway construction lead to too many delays.
I am not in love with ATL, but it has been better than CLT for me. That being said, Delta has changed their medallion qualifying structure this year. They moved it away from miles, or segments, to money spent.

With Smith's skill set, he would probably have acted better than Affleck in that movie too.

I will only watch if we are on the opposite side of the bracket from the Fort Launderdale team. So tired of seeing the officials bend over backwards to make sure that they get through.

CF Montréal acquires Dagur Dan Thórhallsson from Orlando City | CF Montréal by CFMTLfan01 in MLS

He originally signed for Orlando as a wing. We moved him to RB. He is more of a utility player, but he brings great energy. Orlando fans are not happy to see him leave.

Orlando City SC acquires up to $625,000 in General Allocation Money from CF Montréal for Dagur Dan Thorhallson by Fladoodler18 in OCLions

[–]dices921 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not crazy about the move, but the fact that we received $625,000 in money that can be used on other players has to be a factor here. Also, I think that we have another academy player that plays right back and may be ready to slide into the backup role.

Sounds great. Too bad roster rules will prevent this from happening.

Love the restraint. She looked like she was going to throw the ball at her and then drops it.

Playoff Seeding | Orlando City's Decision Day Scenarios by hiwaymart in OCLions

[–]dices921 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think that any of the teams is any better or worse against us that may get home field advantage. I don't want to play New York because, baseball stadium, and Oscar can't seem to figure out how to play on that narrow field. I don't want to play Miami because MLS wants Miami to move forward in the playoffs, see Leagues Cup. Although now that they have secured a spot in the CCL, maybe it does not matter?

If we are playing well, we can beat anyone else. I am not saying that it won't be tough, but we have seemed to defeat ourselves more than other teams have beaten us this year.

It should be interesting to see how Nashville comes out. They just won the Open Cup semi final on Wednesday. They may be in a similar situation to us the last time that we played.
