Three kicks from first place

[Hattrix]

The sky has fallen. We will always suck and it's time to commit ritual suicide.

OK, now that the myth has been presented, here's some facts to consider:

We're still only four points out of first in our conference.

Luck has been decidedly against the Fire for quite a while now, and that really ought to change soon.

Consider the shot that Onstad saved on Razov. Had that kick been six more inches to the right, we'd have had 2 more points out of that game.

Consider Kirovski's goal over Ring. Nine times out of ten that play fails. There's one point gained instead of zero if that kick had been two feet higher or lower.

Consider the PK against us for the Metrotards. Had the cross hit CJ two inches to his right or been six inches closer to Ring, we'd have two more points in that game.

That's five points right there that were matters of luck coming to the other teams. This stretch of horrid luck has to end at some point.

I am very encouraged by the effort we saw from the Fire against the Scum. With Damani's current form, if Ante can get back his usual form, or anything close to it, we can be the team to beat in the second half of the season. Armas' long balls last game were perfect. Mapp's work on the ball was very solid, and CJ and Jimmy were in solid control of the back. Add in a healthy Andy Williams and send Marsch to see the Pope for a quick healing, and we can field the best lineup in the league--even with our recent loss of a left wing.

I know Revs are bottom, but they have found some form and Twellman is back next week. The last two seasons Revs have been the form team in the final 10 games. CLB has points and games in hand.

Yeah you can try to say its all bad luck but all the missed goals by our opponents that missed but could have been put in, was just some plain good luck.
Only 4 points out of first, might as well be a hundred if you can't score more than 1 goal a game.
We need to add 1 or 2 quality players not just wait for our luck to change.
