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)

    • Cooter, Kurb, others have passed on to glory….  Praise be.
    • Oh good for them! Hope this is the start of a long happy time in their lives here.
    • There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
