Game 5 and still need a win. This is the first game I predicted we'd win and I think we have a real shot. Its the Houston Dynamo in town for this one with another cold night on tap. One of these days we'll see a home game that doesn't have snow on the field. Houston is off to a good start for the season with two wins and a draw but all 3 games were at home and their level of competition (Montreal, Vancouver, and FSL) hasn't been great. Kickoff is at 7pm tomorrow so the tailgate is at 4pm and Fleming and 'Celo will have the call on Altitude.
Injury Report:
OUT: D Kortne Ford
QUESTIONABLE: M Sam Nicholson, F Niki Jackson
So this is probably as close to full health as we're going to be be for a while. No suspensions, non international callups, and Ford the only likely starting XI player missing.
I'd be really surprised if this isn't the XI tomorrow, barring a late injury. The only other player who might slip in would be Bassett, who had a great game last week, but I think he's still likely to come off the bench. Midfield positions are, once again, a best guess.
Prediction: 2-1 win, goals by Kamara and Acosta. If not now, when are we going to get our first win. This is the healthiest we've been, we've got full rest, and we're at home. The next time that's likely to happen is May 3rd against Vancouver. I think we have it in us. If we don't then our hopes for an improved season look dark.
