2022 Charlotte FC Game Thread

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.

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.

A little dramatic,  we need 50 points we aren't out of it. They will probably go out and win next match. They just aren't consistent but they're goof enough to get to 7th

Yeah I'm surprised he hasn't been carded more. He gets whiney and then pushy with opposing players. But completely agree, a lot of is justifiable frustration.

I wouldn't call it selfishness though. We just have no vision up the middle whatsover. Too reliant on attacking out wide and our forwards are not creative enough to score like that consistently. Our crosses are ok but we only play at the right pace for them when counterattacking. I really think Santos is going to be huge for us. Swiderski in particular should just be getting fed the ball and not have to create as much as he has.

Charlotte enters tonight’s contest 4 points out of 7th. I personally don’t think we can afford to drop points tonight, and at the very least need to come away with a draw to have any chance at the postseason. Unfortunately, we are matched up against an LAFC team that has only given up points in 7 of 23 contests this year.

GK - Kahlina

RB - Afful

RCB - Walkes

LCB - Sobocinski

LB - Mora

CDM - Bronico

RCM - McNeill

LCM - Bender

RW - Jozwiak

ST - Swiderski

LW - Reyna

Subs - Marks, Lindsey, Fuchs, Jones, Alcivar, Gaines, Vargas, Shinyashiki, Rios

Not Included - Sisniega, Romero

Not Available - Byrne, Malanda, Santos

Injured - Corujo, Armour, Mello

Loaned - Zendejas (Independence), Santos (Independence), Hegardt (Independence)

No Longer With The Team - Makoun, Franco, Ruiz, Ortiz

With our coaching do you believe we can compete?? The team just looks selfish and our assignments look very piss poor.   Not a lot of faith in Coach L.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
