2022 Rocky Mountain Cup Part 2


 An undermanned Rapids squad goes into Sandy tomorrow night needing a win to get the season back on track and, more importantly, win the Rocky Mountain Cup.  A loss means FSL wins it, and a draw leaves the teams tied which means FSL retains it as the current holders.  Colorado really needs the 3 points as well with the playoffs slipping further and further out of reach.  Kickoff is at 8pm and we have 16 games left in our TV nightmare.

Injury Report: 
OUT: M Ollie Larraz, M Jack Price

As mentioned at the end of my prior post, Trusty has been released from his loan to go to Arsenal.


While this isn't the lineup I'd choose its what I expect Fraser to play.  Its really hard to see many other players getting the start.  Maybe Barrios, maybe Vallecilla, but that's it.

Prediction: 1-1 draw goal by Rubio.  FSL has been struggling a bit, which is the only reason I think we can get a point out of this game.  As much as I hate to predict we'll lost the RMC with no Price and no ready replacements for Trusty or Kaye I don't see how we get 3 points tomorrow.  The Cup, and the season, will likely be lost by the end of the night.
