You don’t often see a team lose 3-0 when recording more shots on goal and more possession but… here we are.

Rough… felt like we controlled play but a poo call and an unlucky bounce and we’re down 2-0…

This is such poo…

Wow… offside.

ORTIZZZZ!

Kahlina is very good with his feet.

A draw would be fantastic.

Here we go…

It appears that we will be without Swiderski tonight as he is fixing issues with his green card. As for the current roster, if we run a 3-4-3 like we did in Charleston then it could look something like this. Keep in mind not all of these players will be active. Our roster sits at 26 but only 18 are allowed to be active on game day. GK - Kristijan Kahlina, George Marks, Pablo Sisniega, Adrian Zendejas LWB - Joseph Mora, Adam Armour, Koa Santos CB - Anton Walkes , Christian Fuchs CB - Guzman Corujo CB - Christian Makoun, Jan Sobocinski RWB - Jaylen Lindsey, Harrison Afful CDM - Jordy Alcivar, Chris Hegardt, Brandt Bronico CM - Sergio Ruiz, Alan Franco, Ben Bender LW - Yordy Reyna CF - Christian Ortiz, Daniel Rios, Karol Swiderski, Vinicius Mello RW - McKinzie Gaines

Well… the time has come, it all starts today. Because there isn’t a ton of interest yet, I figured that we can have one general thread (similar to what is done in the Hornets forum) and as interest picks up we can start to create individual game threads. Game 1: Charlotte FC @ D.C. United - 6:00 P.M. - Audi Field

I’ve come to the conclusion that we better be up by two when our opponents pull their goalie because we’re for sure going to give up a goal.

The pundits at the senior bowl certainly seemed the indicate that Willis has the best arm in the class. He’s not as accurate as the rest of the field on the intermediate throws but his deep ball is a thing of beauty.

Not a fan of Strong because it’s tough to tell if he’s a system QB or he can actually read a defense. Nevada’s offense was tailored for Strong with a lot of quick reads and screen passes minimizing his lack of mobility. In the NFL that isn’t going to work. And for all the talk about his arm, he doesn’t even have the best arm in the class… that award goes to Malik Willis. If you are taking a QB at six you probably go Corral. If you are taking one in the middle of the first you probably go Howell. If you are in a position to draft for the future you take Willis whenever you feel comfortable.

Good insight, I was wondering why he did that as well.

This just reads like the Panthers paying a little over what Luvu is worth in hopes that with an expanded role next year his contract will turn into a steal. Ultimately this deal will be judged on how Luvu develops in coverage because that’s what kept him off the field. His missed tackle percentage of 4% was fantastic but his pass coverage percentage of 100% wasn’t. Hopefully this means we are letting Carter walk, his play did not take off with the expanded role. Stanford is the only other linebacker (besides Reddick) that is not under contract for next year.

This is a solid deal if he’s a starter, not so much if he has the same role as last year.

This is a bummer as Gabby would have been a fan favorite but from a team perspective I get it. Gabby would have required an international slot and we really need those remaining slots for DP’s. Hopefully Obertan remains in Charlotte and goes back to the Charlotte Independence.

Need some sort of shakeup. A trade or something.

Felt that coming, Florida has been carrying play most of the game. Let’s get another point.

Barkov is a beast.

TDA isn’t leaving, he loves Rod and Carolina. He’ll take a 3x$5 or something similar.

Hanging tough right now, think I’ll hang around and watch Vegas/Colorado as well.

Harrell is a +18… at halftime…

Love seeing Thor in early.

FT: Charlotte FC 0 - Columbus Crew 0 Much better performance today! We are still struggling to play out of the back a bit but things are coming along. Corujo, Walkes, and Sobocinksi all impressed on the back line and Ruiz and Franco were solid in the midfield. No one really impressed much up top, but Obertan did create a little magic in the final moments of the game. If we had a few DP level wingers we might be able to build something here. All things considered, I feel much better about this team today than I did a few days ago.
