Zach Schilawski got some playing time today against the Battery? Anyone get a look at him? Got a tweet that he had a good shot on goal.
Posted this in the other thread, should have been here. Several new players were in camp on Thursday and again on Saturday. Zach Schilawski and Austin da Luz, most notably to me. Austin played the balance of the Charleston game and Zach came on in the second half. Da Luz saw time against Wilmington late in the second half, Schilawski did not play. I think there's a pretty good chance both end up on the roster. With the Omar Salgado loan rumor fading out as Vancouver has had a few key injuries, with Gale now available all season instead of jetting off to the Olympics this summer, and what I'm hearing were a couple of cuts on Thursday after the game, there seems to all of sudden be a couple of roster slots up in the air. Wouldn't be surprised to see both of them in Orange on opening day.
http://carolinarailhawks.com/index.php?id=111&newsid=1972 Article about roster moves on team page confirms Krause, Stockley, da Luz in, Miller out. Not sure I'll be able to stay up and watch the game this weekend. Pretty curious about how things will work out with the new team. Best of luck to them. I hope you all have a good time watching. Man I miss going to Wake Med.
Sorry as I am unfamiliar with the Railhawks but do any of you know why 'Boss isn't getting any minutes? Isn't an injury, fitness or something else entirely?
Great! I watched Zack play his college ball and have always been impressed with his work ethic and technical ability. We are lucky to get him and I am glad to see him play again at Wake Med. Last time he was here he scored against the RailHawks after being signed by the New England Revolution.
Yup. Another defender should hopefully make a bit of a difference, especially as we've been watching Elenio play fullback when his normal position is mid. (Not that he is doing shabby in back, mind.)
Former Railhawk Floyd Franks was let go from the Vancouver Whitecaps MLS team this week. Wonder if he will come back to Cary and if they could fit him in.
Moving and shaking going on. Just picked up SKC midfielder Konrad Warzcha on loan for the rest of the season. James Scott has been gone for a couple of weeks, but he never played. And Jake Beckford has signed a while back, but is not listed on the roster for some reason.
Fun fact. As best as I can tell, there have only been two legacies in MLS history, and both play for Sporting Kansas City. In fact they briefly were on the field together earlier this season. Teal Bunbury's father Alex played for the Wizards in 2000, and Konrad Warzycha's father is former Crew player and current head coach Robert. Warzycha missed his entire rookie season (2011) with an injury. His deal with the RailHawks also specifies that he will be available for Sporting's Reserves last two games (September 11th and 25th). My guess is that the loan is predicated on the condition that Konrad gets playing time.
That is what I was thinking. They want to keep him playing and Da Luz and Ortiz are not in the line up (injured still?). I am happy that Cory is back at mid and starting. Maybe they pull him for Warzcha, but I hope not. I don't know why, but I love watching Cory play in the mid.
We now have Luke Sassano on loan for the rest of the year from SKC. Between Luke and Konrad, it looks like we might have our back line woes sorted out for a run at the playoffs.
Dangit. Looks like RH's had a deal to play him at CB but after Shields got hurt he was needed at right FB. Too bad because I thought he looked pretty slick on Saturday's game. I was unable to watch the game last night and did not hear any news about Shields, but looks like Cory is back at right FB.
Great to have so many starters signed already. Need some quality defenders. I hope Kupono Low will return-he is consistently solid. Any work to Etienne Barbara since release from Vancouver?
