So we added Ream and Pep Biel. Not great but decent transfer window. Should get us to the playoffs.

the game on 8/24 is a massive one with a team we're looking up at in the standings. Great time to go for anyone with any remote interest.  It's time to make a big push, and this is a big one to kick it off.  Hopeful that Ream has plenty left in the tank (and Privett being available to spell him/keep him fresh and learn from him is awesome), and it's sick to have a contributing US MNT player on our roster.

As far as Biel--if he had been the first name we heard we probably would have been fine with it. Instead we spend entire transfer windows lauding fans with what ifs that never materialize. It's exhausting.  But I trust Dean and I hope we can gel and have a nice stretch run here. Hosting a playoff MLS game would be an amazing atmosphere.

Also signed Jamie Paterson.

Thinking the best XI could be:

GK - Kristijan Kahlina

LB - Jere Uronen

LCB - Tim Ream

RCB - Adilson Malanda

RB - Nathan Byrne

CDM - Brandt Bronico

CM - Ashley Westwood

CAM - Pep Biel

LW - Jamie Paterson

ST - Karol Swiderski

RW - Liel Abada

Combination of Agyemang, Vargas, Iuri Tavares, Bender, Diani, Junior Urso, Petkovic, Lindsey, Privett, João Pedro, and Bingham on the bench.

We're clearly losing interest or maybe Panthers talk just takes over.  That was a much needed win over a really bad team.

excellent get right game, just sucks that we put ourselves in position for it to be a must win. I don't love building important roster spots in the stretch run, but if we gel now it's better than the alternative

Good win tonight though a 4-1 win would have been nice for the GD rather than a 4-3 win.

Unfortunately all the teams in front of us won so a home playoff game looks unlikely but if we could get to 6th so that we avoid Miami until the conference finals that would be nice.

Still think we move out of 7th. Also I came crazy close to smashing a massive cltfc parlay tonight.

When in think about it, I hate that the end of the MLS season/decision day and the playoffs are sandwiched right on an international window. Swiderski finally hitting form and he’ll be going away to Poland. Ream playing well at LB and he’s with USMNT…here’s hoping they come out healthy because right now, we’re a force and peaking at the right time

    • I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...
    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
