Gaines missed a 1 on 1 with the keeper which could be considered an easy finisher. He’s still got a lot of work to do too. Right now, to me, he’s just fast but he doesn’t always make the best use of it. 
Our only consistent attacker is Shinyashiki

Gaines didn't have much choice and was getting closed off by 2 defenders most notably the one coming in from the middle. He couldn't go more left and there was no one to pass to so he took his shot. It took a good save to stop him.

For what it’s worth, we’ve played the second most difficult schedule (behind FC Cincinnati) in the Eastern Conference.

However, we are going to start getting into the easier part of our schedule very soon. Nashville will be a difficult game but after that we have Inter Miami, Toronto, Columbus, D.C. United, and Chicago.

We should be able to pick up some points there.

Agree, seems like all he has is speed which is definitely dangerous to opposing teams.  He needs to put it all together now.

Goallll!!! X2

Fantastic counter by Charlotte and a great low cross by Bender to Ruiz results in a goal followed by a nice 1-2 combination between Bender and Shinyashiki which results in a blast by Shinyashiki outside the 18 that finds the back of the net.

FINAL

Charlotte FC 4 - Nashville 1

Fuchs 26’ Pen

Swiderski 61’ (from Reyna)

Ruiz 89’ (from Bender)

Shinyashiki 90’ + 1’ (from Bender)

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
