last played year
We played them well last year and we want to do the same this time,
last stronger team
I think once we get the team on the field, we're better than last year. We're stronger and more balanced.
list rather
We'd rather be on the list come November,
advantage chances corner marking poor took
We had our chances in the beginning, we didn't put them in. It was poor marking on us on the corner kick, and they took advantage of it.
close
I would say he's pretty close to 100 percent,
kept pace
If we had kept it up at that pace it would have been 88-2,
crosses dangerous difficult game pace
I didn't like the urgency, the pace of the game in the first half. We really didn't make dangerous crosses in and make the goalie make any difficult decisions. After Roland's semi-breakaway at the beginning, we really didn't have it.
goals good guys obviously scoring telling trouble
Obviously we've been having some trouble scoring goals lately. We're telling the guys they've just got to be patient. We're getting good chances, the goals will come.
bad felt four goals initial left rebounds
I felt bad for Zach because we left him so exposed. There were a lot of goals off rebounds and I think that on at least four of the goals, he made the initial save.
attack defend possess
We want to defend well and be able to possess the ball. And attack them quick.
game happen hope
You hope that every game is not close, but in this game it doesn't happen that way. The disappointing thing is when we give up two restart goals.
cards
You have to play with the cards you're dealt.
kids ready struggling trying using
We're struggling offensively. We're just trying to find the right combination using inexperienced kids that aren't, maybe, ready to go yet, and we're trying to force-feed them, basically.
fit good later neil pick stages
Neil really started to pick it up in the later stages of the game. He's a very fit person, and Neil's a very good player.
