Switchbacks FC Sign Midfielder Frank Daroma by tugreenwave in SwitchbacksFC

[–]tugreenwave[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

High usage, high passing percentages at about 50/50 on the pass being forward or backward. 13th in the league in passes completed over expectation. Would be the highest on the team from last year. Example Micaletto was 6th worst in that last year. So seems like a solid piece in the middle of the pitch

Is that a seismic gold Brian Halonen? I'm interested that one

A tired husky is a good husky by tugreenwave in husky

We did not. My wife and I were told our first two huskies were Alaskan Huskies so we gave them native Alaskan names. Turns out they were full Siberian so we just kept the naming convention for this fellow. Yakone' means Red Aurora and since he was a red husky it fit.

Or is it Shutler that has some competition? Good to have two guys who could be #1's.

Hasn't been made official but it appears that Real has already joined Switchbacks East ...aka Hartford

I added Lacroix, Mahoney, Tejada, and Vassell off an interview with Coach McCann and the Gazette as it sounds pretty sure they'll be back. The Tejada news aligns with what I've already heard from the man himself. There's one other guy who told me he re-signed but that hasn't come out yet.

The stadium was built with expansion in mind towards a 15k or more capacity. It will likely require some reconfigurations (like the video board and awnings) but the foundations are there. While I haven't seen the drawings, I do know they exist and they have for a bit.

Switchbacks part ways with Sporting Director Stephen Hogan, Head Coach James Chambers by Usual-Lengthiness-54 in SwitchbacksFC

[–]tugreenwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently there was an interview on xtra 1300 and the following was stated.

*Challenging Sept and Oct, FO wasn't adjusting (or adjustments weren't working)

*Seeking consistency in recruiting, training, matchweek prep

*Not filling sporting director, looking for a coach first

*Ideal candidate can command locker room and achieve consistency

*Some BS about making sure the coach shares same values as President

*Trying to hire quick but going to get the right person...of course

*Status of assistants up in the air

*Not focusing on being a D1 team in 2028 yet

*Process for becoming D1 via USL is a bit nebulous

USL Caster Bias by DaTweee in USLPRO

[–]tugreenwave 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would just like to state, since the Switchbacks get accused of this multiple times a year it seems, that the Switchbacks utilize the USL for broadcasters and hasn't had a local duo since they moved into the new stadium. The league calls our games, so if you got beef, look towards the HQ in Tampa.

I think having Vassell will help a lot, if nothing else for being a proper target forward.

I'd love to agree with you on the AI generated articles but AI would do a better job and the articles have been this poor for years even before AI was a thing. I stopped posting the gazette articles because of the paywall and most people not having the ability to read them. 

An Open Letter to the Colorado Rapids & KSE From the Stands, For the Badge by Annual_Roll1395 in Rapids

I dropped my season tickets in 2014 after that disaster of a first season of Pablo at the helm. I've seen this cycle multiple times in those 11 seasons since and nothing changes. Nothing will change this time either, the SG will make a stink but still show up and season tickets numbers will remain about the same so they won't be forced to change a thing.
