Time To Bounce Back


Well after the debacle on Saturday night we're right back at it down in Dallas tomorrow.  Kickoff against our MLS Cup opponents is at 6:30 and the game is on Altitude for those of you who get it.  Its too soon to call this a must win but a loss tomorrow would put us out of the expanded playoff picture and really call into question our hopes for whatever 2020 turns out to be.


Fraser talked about squad rotation both in the post-game and in today's press conference.  He also mentioned that Yarbrough has won the starting job.  I'm kind of guessing at who will or won't be rotated, but Moor and Kamara seem like obvious choices, and I think we see the wings change as well.  I'm going out on a limb projecting Trusty to start but after the mess on Saturday something has to change.

Prediction: 1-0 loss.  Dallas has a lousy attack but a great defense so far.  Meanwhile we have a lousy defense and our attack is adequate.  Combine the current state of the team, a road match, and the short rest and I can't see us getting points.  It will be low scoring and an scoreless draw wouldn't be shocking, but I think Dallas nicks one goal and the three points.
