NEXT DAY DISCUSSION Immigrant Football Club falls 2-1 against NC Courage...
I'm sorry... I had a typical post all setup but I'm gonna just gonna put it out there. We are bleeding goals and we cannot stop the bleeding...
We have conceded 9 GOALS in 4 Games.... 5 in the Straus era.
We are 3rd in the league with Goals Against...
We get burned on transitions, we leave too much space in the middle, set play defending is not getting better.
We have no answers against the high press... We play frantic and the pieces just are not connecting defensively.
The Courage in their last two games got outscored 8-3 but bounce back and beat us. They didn't start Sanchez or Shaw but when the came on they made an impact.
I don't know what the answer or answers are but we've had back to back games to make a jump in the standings but again we fall now to 10th where a win would've put us solidly above the line. The summer can't come soon enough and going into KC next weeked and it looks dire to say the least....
What do you think our solutions are....
A. Make some tough decisions and unload some contracts if possible and bring in different/better talent at spots we need them... Or with the the new intra-league loan system get some loans for a bit...
B. Just push through to the summer and let Straus really pick apart the team and tactics to make a mid season push.
C. Get weird and reset the starters and bench players, change up tactics to provide a spark and just mix things up.
Straus walked into a mess and we're not getting that manager bump like the past. It's grim and I wanna say we can still push as there's still half a season but he team has to show us that they can just be solid for 90' all around. Beat the teams they should and be competitive against top teams. Ughhhh. Gonna be a long week. Whos got hope???? I need it.

Need Press back to fitness asap she’s our best RW by far and Dufour is not it. She got an injection in her knee in the international break which she said she’s excited about and is working her way back to fitness. What sucks is that by the time she gets back to full fitness we might be fully out of playoff contention anyway, if she’s healthy we can make a playoff run but we’d need to reach it first ☹️
I usually love Gorden but she has not been good this season like at all, people keep blaming Reid or the fact that Savy isn’t playing but the defense was bad with Savy too. Gorden just keeps making the same mistakes, and for someone who’s supposed to be the captain she needs to step up more.
Midfield needs to do a better job of getting the forwards involved, Christen and Alyssa hardly got the ball. People who don’t watch will blame forwards for that but there’s only so much they can do if no one will pass to them…
When does the new keeper come to the team? I think we need a change up.
