A bit late, this one, but you do know what they say about being a day late and a dollar short. Anyhow, given that I'm constantly talking in formations, I thought it may be nice to give my approach to written formations (of the 4-4-2 sort)…
After yesterday's debate and my subsequent not-posting (of the usual blog, I mean), I thought it would be good to tackle (probably a standing tackle and not two-footed, studs-up — wouldn't want a retroactive ban now, would I?) something a…
I think I'm going to be living on that win for a while — at least until Wednesday — as it's still getting me quite invigorated at odd moments in the day. I'd contemplated not needing any sleep until then, but that's clearly not going to…
In arguably our best performance of the Desert Diamond Cup — a 1-0 consolation win (of course, they're all rather consolation matches in pre-season, aren't they?) over New York Red Bulls that saw a young midfield performing at the peak…

With a bit more time to consider the lineup, I do think we could see one change from what I proposed yesterday. Rather than dropping Arturo Alvarez in, we might instead see Andy Williams in the tip of the diamond. Alvarez should be fit,…
I thought it might be in some interest to examine the decisions of our players and the referees that led to our goals against New England and how we can correct some of those problems. I suppose, then, I will do just that. Goal 1: Borchers…
