    Anyone ever watch San Jose play? Even with two strikers they struggled to score under Kinnear, or even play an attractive style. Playing youth? Yeah, Dom's not a big fan of that either.......

    No thank you...........

    No, seriously, what youth? The starting lineup against DC averaged 28 years 2 months, with 5 starters over 30. Elliott (21) , Wijnaldum (24) and Epps (22) were the only under 25 players we used. We keep saying "academy" but we're an aging mediocre squad without a lot of replacement talent in the pipeline. Headed for a lot of roster turnover in January.

    Man, those games with Houston when Kinnear was in charge were some of the dullest ever at PPL. All his fault, of course.

    And, if we get one, the new guy will get 5 years to prove it wasn't a fluke.

    I look forward to the dead cat bounce and the corresponding snarky Union social media content

    It truly sickens me that we have endured this for 4 seasons without any signs of pressure being applied to Curtin from the FO. I don't consider myself a sucker but at this point what else am I, for shelling out money to this organization every season?

    Nothing will change without new ownership. That is what I now believe.
