Season 56

[HazmatCorntail]

It was a day of defeat for us, beginning with a 2-0 CL loss. This kills any chance of advancing out of the Group, as the top two are now on 13 and 10, respectively, and I can only earn 9. We fell behind after 13 minutes and never really threatened. Carl Frost missed his second straight penalty chance, so we may need to make a change there. Nobody really had a good game for us, save for Fabian Johnson. In spite of upping the Win Bonus, we didn't get it done.

Howard, Woods (Donné 68'), Grella, Califf, Johnson, Bjørge (Altidore 46'), Nogueira (Jóhannsson 81'), Gómez, Frost, Green, Bilali

The bad times continued as we were out-classed in the League, 2-1. Aron Jóhannsson's second half goal proved the lone highlight and we had no answer for their defense. We're still in 8th place, but a little distance was created. For a second straight game, a left back complained about being lifted for offense in a match we were losing and they were only rating a 6. If you don't want to come out, get your name on the score sheet!

One other thing, it seems to be taking a lot longer to get subs into matches. In each instance today, save for one halftime sub, they all took over 10 minutes to come in. Not good....

I've noticed my subs are slow to make it onto the field too . . . I've decided to try and sub "pre-emptively", if you will. BUT, that is rather hard to do in a game that is tied or you lead by a narrow margin.

Same, in Cup game yesterday it was particularly noticable (because I was drawing and needed a win). Was throwing the kitchen sink at them, player got injured, missed the FK and had 6 minutes of the match to play with lost possession because sub never made it on.

Normaly I don't care but....
