I don't think they could.  This was a makeup game from one that had been rained out earlier in the season after they played 15 minutes. Kickoff last started with 15 minutes having already elapsed.  I think they had to put out the same lineups and were unable to use subs if they had already done so in the previous 15 minute period, as we had when Carujo got injured.  Dumb that they tried to even play that game, but it is what it is.

Ref missed a penalty on Karol late.  Would have been a bit light, but he called the game tight for the most part, so should have been a penalty.  My thought is that CFC played well enough to win, but didn't deserve to win, if that makes any sense.  Sucks to be eliminated from playoff contention, but noone expected to make the playoffs this first season.  Glad to see they showed some flashes and improvement over the course of the season.

So both Rios and Jones could have started since they were on the bench for the original game, they just would have counted as two of our five subs.

I guess the consolation is that Miami mollywhopped Orlando so our chances of making the playoffs, even with a win last night, would have been slim.

We would have had to beat Red Bulls and Orlando and Columbus would have needed to play to a draw, or, Cincinnati would have needed to lose against D.C. United, both unlikely scenarios.

Karol should have gotten that penalty but he keeps himself in the officials' doghouse with his sense of entitlement. I think he'd hit another level as a player if he didn't have to be the whiniest guy on the field every match. His play otherwise has impressed me.

Great inaugural season though, and it's exciting that it seems like a majority of our problems are just growing pains. Next season should be fun.

Karol is a good player and he knows it, but at the end of the day he needs to realize that he’s playing in the MLS, no matter how good he is, he shouldn’t be pouting on the field like Ronaldo.

I would say it was a successful season.  Would have been interesting to see if having one manager all year would have made a difference.  Problem was we played to win too many games instead of trying to at least salvage a point ( I'm ok with this problem). Columbus drew their way into the playoffs,  I would rather play for 3 points. I think next year I'm expecting playoffs or it'll be a disappointment.

Definitely expecting the playoffs next year if Karol is back and he’s playing that number 9 type of role that he played for us over the last four games or so (unless we land a game changing attacking midfielder). Putting him there really helped the team as a whole.

Charlotte FC falls to NY Red Bulls 2-0 in the final game of the season for the Crown.

Charlotte played well enough to at least come away with a draw but the Red Bulls keeper could not be beaten.

I was listening on my way back from the coast and it sounded like he was pulling an Ochoa from the World Cup a few back

He played really well and I thought we played well for the most part. Sisniega probably deserves the blame on one of the goals, he parried the ball right to a Red Bulls player, the other goal was just a great strike by the NY player.

Well, that’s feels mild in comparison to the fug ups Kahlina has had this season tbh.

LOCATION CHANGE: Charlotte FC vs Charleston Battery Friendly Relocated to Bank of America Stadium

Thursday, Feb 9, 2023, 10:02 AM

 

100522_AM_vsColumbus_Scenics_0001

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Thursday, February 9, 2023) – Charlotte FC and the Charleston Battery today announced the upcoming friendly between the two teams scheduled for this Saturday has been moved to Bank of America Stadium due to impending inclement weather in the Charleston area.

The decision to move the match from Charleston was made out of reasonable caution for player and fan safety and to allow preseason preparations to go uninterrupted for both clubs. The match will be free for fans on a limited basis with priority going to those that purchased tickets to the originally scheduled match in Charleston. The remaining allotment will be open to Season Ticket Members. Further ticketing details will be distributed later this afternoon.   

Fans who bought tickets to the game in Charleston will receive communication from the Battery regarding their tickets.

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
