Was just coming to post that. Lord Stanley has called everything so I’m leaning toward believing that it’s true. If he tore his achilles then the best case scenario is that he’s back by the start of the playoffs. Only option is to LTIR Patches and trade for Kane or sign Kadri (if he’s still available, rumor is he’s headed to NYI). Unfortunately, guys like: Kessel, Rodrigues, and Stastny won’t be enough, even if a couple were signed.

That’s also why I question the point of burning a roster spot on a return guy. If Roberts is a better receiver than Higgins, Zylstra, Smith, Saunders, etc… then by all means keep him. It just seems like a questionable decision to burn a spot on a guy who may get 18 or so returns throughout the entire season.

Are they even using Roberts in the KR game? From what I read a while back (can’t remember where I saw it), it was Smith who was getting a lot of those reps and Roberts was being used in PR drills. Mind you, Roberts is known for being a good KR but Erickson was actually a better PR than Roberts last year.

Let’s wait until he plays a few preseason games before drawing comparisons to HOF’ers. The Panthers are Hayes’ fifth team and he’s yet to break into the league, we might need to pump the breaks a bit.

So now Hayes is Sam Mills… good God.

Tweet just came across from Lord Stanley’s Warehouse… the Twitter account that has been leaking everything we do… Canes are buying out Gardiner and signing Necas to a 2x$3M AAV.

Looks like Haynes is just day to day so that’s good, still think we need more depth at edge though.

Hope I’m wrong, I just feel like our schedule is brutal down the stretch.

Malanda can’t get here fast enough because without Corujo, our CB depth is Walkes, Fuchs, and Sobocinski.

Time will tell but eventually I think Charlotte FC as well as the Panthers will miss out on players who simply don’t want to risk their health playing on turf.

Forgot to mention, the injury is in reference to a knee injury that Corujo suffered in tonight’s game.

Ignore the information about Alcivar, the important stuff is just below… Guzman Corujo’s injury does not look good…

Another thing that needs to mentioned is the selfish play of our side. I mean this is high school stuff… two goals could have been scored tonight if the individual on the ball picked their head up. 1) Gaines decided to take a shot on goal from a tough angle when he could have laid one off to Swiderksi at the penalty area for a sitter. 2) Alcivar decided to take a shot on net (that was deflected for a corner) when he had both Swiderski and Bronico with him; either player would have been in on goal if Alcivar made the pass. I don’t know if these guys are watching film or what, but these scenarios happen nearly every match. I don’t particularly like Swiderski’s body language when things don’t go his way but I’m now starting to understand why he does it. The poor vision and selfishness of the team is starting to cost us points. Hopefully Santos brings over some of that vision from the first tier Portuguese football he’s been playing.

Great question, I’d love to know as well.

Full Time Charlotte FC 2 - Chicago Fire 3

Thank God the EPL is back on because our season is effectively over. Overall, the organization really dropped the ball during the transfer window… our three transfers probably won’t be available for at a minimum of two weeks… by then, we’ll be completely out of the playoff picture and the season probably will have unraveled.

Taking Reyna off was one of the most foolish things that Lattanzio has done during his time as interim manager.

It’s unfortunate, but unless there’s some sort of heroics here at the end, Charlotte will fall to 10th, completely out of the playoff picture.

Rios comes on for Lindsey… so Gaines goes the full 90’…

I think we are at the point that we need to question why the game plan has been to play through Gaines for the past two and a half games. Please bring on Jozwiak for Gaines.

This is what happens when a referee has no control over a game… referee is utter poo.

Nothing against Fuchs but I wouldn’t mind seeing Sobocinski come on for him, Fuchs is just getting cooked tonight. If they don’t burn the last sub on the defense then they need to go ahead and get Jozwiak in for Gaines.

Shinyashiki coming on for Reyna… huge mistake here as Reyna has been controlling play and Gaines has been faltering. Alcivar also on for Bender.

Nearly 4-2… the back line has gone to poo and Fuchs is the main culprit right now.

Chicago has their their… Fuchs gets beat like a drum after a good ball from Shaqiri. Charlotte FC 2 - Chicago Fire 3
