again finding five fourth games lose played playing time ways win won year
We're not playing poorly. Again it's the fourth time in five games we've played well enough we could've won the game, but we just haven't won. We just have to find ways to win games, what's been going on most of the year is we're finding ways to lose games.
playing seemed sit three
We were just going to take it to them from the start, and why not, why sit back and play defensive. We just seemed to be playing better with three forwards.
confident playing
For us, mentally, we're pretty confident in how we're playing and what we can do, so we'll just keep building.
games guys reserve reward senior time
We try to reward those guys who play well in reserve games with time in the senior games.
best felt loves player
We felt that he was the best player in the draft. He loves to pass.
certainly crosses deal players
We certainly have to deal with their crosses and the players they get on the end of the crosses.
bad ball create game kinds midfield seemed situations turned
The story of the game was how many times we turned the ball over in the midfield and create bad situations for ourselves. You just can't keep making those kinds of mistakes, giveaways, and we seemed to do that a lot.
except final positive
Everything was positive except for the final result, and that's the only thing that we're down about now.
andy attacking clint coming evolved felt forward space
Originally, I think we thought that Clint was going to come in and play like a forward and Andy was going to play the attacking mid. But kind of how it evolved was Clint felt more comfortable coming back and sometimes they were in the same space and it kind of complicated things at times.
attacking ball brian forward offensive robert scarlett second space stressed supposed yards
Brian Dunseth was supposed to play forward a little bit, like an attacking midfielder. But Robert Scarlett and Adolfo Gregorio were supposed to be more offensive in the first half. A lot of times, the ball would come to them and after a second touch, they would still have space after 30 yards with the ball. We stressed that at halftime.
broke half moments played second
Even in the first half we had moments when we played well, but in the second half, we broke down, we broke down and broke down again. It's just unacceptable.
april goal positive result
There's one goal right now and that's to get a positive result on April 2.
definitely hoping infectious losing winning
We're definitely hoping so. I think winning is infectious and losing is as well.
behind casual somebody tight urgency
I still think he was a little too casual at times. There has to be more urgency when you have to get behind somebody and get tight on somebody.
