Lord I wish that’s all they needed to address.

Hahaha everyone loves a hot tight end… market.

Ian Thomas managed to get a better deal than Xavier Woods… what a time to be alive.

How do you gather that? Woods has spent most of his career at FS.

It would be even better if he put on 10 lbs. and played OLB in the mold of Thomas Davis. Someone who has a nack for the ball like Chinn should be playing as close to the LOS as possible.

There’s some talent there. We have two roster slots open heading into the summer transfer window which is the big window for European transfers. It will be interesting to see what this team looks like in mid July.

Good match, we’ll see you again soon!

I was going to say earlier that LB is a weakness for this team. Mora hasn’t impressed at all and it’s clear at this point that Fuchs cannot play LB in a back four. He can play inside or LCB in a 3-5-2 or a similar formation with WB’s but he simply can’t keep up with the pace of wingers when he’s isolated as a LB.

Such horrible defending by Fuchs.

Bender making poo happen, nice finish by Armour.

Such a stupid foul but that’s not a penalty, the contact started well outside the box.

Growing into the game quite well in the second half.

Looks like a 3-5-2 now. GK - Kahlina LCB - Fuchs CB - Corujo RCB - Makoun LWB - Armour CDM - Bronico CM - Franco CAM - Bender RWB - Lindsey LF - Swiderski RF - Afful

A couple things here. - Bender is dangerous and going to be a solid player for us. Ditto with Gaines. - We need a lot more from Franco and Bronico, both are standing around in the middle of the field waiting for someone else to make a play. - Khalina is a very good keeper, he does struggle with some of those aerial crosses though. I’d like to see Alcivar and Armour come on and see Bender move to the middle of the field so he gets more touches. GK - Kahlina LB - Armour LCB - Makoun RCB - Corujo RB - Lindsey CDM - Alcivar CM - Franco CAM - Bender LW - Ortiz CF - Swiderski RW - Gaines If we’re still level around the 70th minute then bring Rios on for Lindsey and Walkes on for Franco and switch to a 3 - 4 - 3. GK - Kahlina LCB - Makoun CB - Corujo RCB - Walkes LM - Armour CDM - Alcivar CAM - Ortiz RM - Bender LF - Swiderski CF - Rios RF - Gaines

Kahlina is ridiculously good, I wonder how long he’ll be in the MLS.

Another opportunity to get our first win. Looks to be a 4-3-1-2 or a 4-3-3. Kahlina, Fuchs, Makoun, Corujo, Lindsey, Bender, Franco, Bronico, Ortiz, Swiderski, Gaines

This is the problem with MLS… the MLS pundits, media, and homers think that there is only one way to build an MLS team… that’s also the reason that the MLS will always be a cellar dweller league. I applaud Zoran for trying something different, if Arriola and Machis were on this team then we’d be the talk of the town. The style of play (and not having relegation with the USL) is what’s holding the MLS back. Charlotte will continue to pull numbers because eventually this style of play will pay off. Hell, New England won the Supporters Shield last year and they can’t even pull. We will be fine after a couple of transfer windows.

Here for another 10 days.

It’s official!

Excited about this, Jones is a big bodied defensive midfielder that eats up space and turns defense into offense rather quickly. I’d love to see a 4-3-3 with: GK: Khalina LB: Armour LCB: Fuchs RCB: Corujo RB: Lindsey CDM: Jones CM: Franco CAM: Bender LW: Ortiz CF: Swiderski RW: Jozwiak

That .929 save % is looking solid. On the other hand, LaFontaine’s .887 looks horrible.

Only seven more wins and you match last seasons total!

I personally don’t think Tepper is involved in any of the personnel decisions regarding Charlotte FC, he’s treating this franchise much more like a hobby than a business and letting the actual professionals run it. Sure we are struggling out of the gate but a lot of that is out of the teams control. We were closing in on USMNT winger Paul Arriola before we were beat out by FC Dallas. We also had agreed to terms with Darwin Machis who would have been a top five player in the MLS before it was revealed that he was ironing out some legal issues in Europe. If those two deals don’t fall through then this team looks a lot different. I think the fans recognize that the team is truly trying and the support matches that.

Charlotte falls to the L.A. Galaxy 1-0.
