FCD v. Revs.
By: Scott | April 3rd, 2009
This game is all going to come down to the defensive side of the ball. The Revs have a few new young guys with good wheels. Unfortunately for the Chivas game they have showed the rest of the league what they have to do to beat us. What the ironic thing is the thing that beats us is the exact game that we have been playing. Chivas took the ball over the top and ran the ball down. The Revs have the wheels to make this happen. If Ray gets pummeled again its going to be a long day.
On the offensive side of the ball I think things will start to happen. We got a lot more touches in the middle of the field than in the Fire game. That play lead to some great service from the wings. Now all that has to happen is Kenny and the rest of the offense has to finish.
Keys to the game for FCD-
-FINISH, FINISH, and FINISH. Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand granades. We can get all the great service that we want into the box but if no one is on the other side it really makes no difference.
-Defense. We have gotten burned alot in the past two games. Everyone in our defensive back four has looked horrible. The defense needs to pick it up so as to take some of pressure off of Ray Burse. With Dario in the lineup I would have worried so much about him being pummeled. Ray cant stand up to that kind of pressure yet. Rebounds have to be cleared.
-Flexiblity. Schellas has to be flexible enough to make changes quickly….and make some of the right changes. Subs for the past two games have been questionable at best.
Final score…another loss for the hoops 3-1. This team is just not coming together fast enough. We got fed a line in the preseason and now reality is showing its ugly head. The vaunted FCD system that Schellas was going to bring this team is going to need an overhaul if he doesnt get this win.
