I imagine we'll mix things up a bit for this match. Possible inclusions (this is not a lineup): Knighton Woodberry, Josh Smith, Donnie Smith Herivaux, Kobayashi Femi, Wright, Bunbury
Probably something like Knighton Watson, Smith, Woodberry, DSmith Bunbury, Heriviaux, Kobiashi, Fagundez Femi, Wright
Heaps on vets like Bunbury, Woodberry, Knighton looking for mins in USOC: "You'll certainly see their names on that roster sheet." #NERevs— Jeff Lemieux (@jeff_lemieux) June 13, 2017
Heaps would be crazy to play Fagundez. He's had a lot of minutes and tackles so far. Put him in if we're down a goal, otherwise protect him. Swap Tierney in for Fagundez at left mid and that's a pretty good lineup though. Or we could do Wright Femi-Kobayashi-Bunbury Herivaux-Caldwell DSmith-JSmith-Woodberry-Watson Knighton I'd like to get some minutes with Herivaux and Caldwell together at the base of midfield.
I think it's nominally assigned, but that was the case at Harvard last year and people sat where they wanted.
I like your selections and the Herivaux/Caldwell pairing, but I can't see Rochester meriting a 4-5-1.
can simply move Femi and Bunbury up and it's a 4-3-3. Really it's a function of our roster and who needs minutes.
OKC is beating Colorado 2-0 at the half. OKC has a worse record in USL than Rochester (granted Colorado has a worse record than we do).
Preview: Revs head to Providence to kick off Open Cup campaign vs. Rochester Rhinos June 13, 2017, 3:28PM EDT Jeff Lemieux
It's available on revolutionsoccer.net. nil-nil, but Rochester just had a man sent off for a second yellow (looked iffy from watching the stream). edit: Bad post timing, Revs just went up 1-nil on a penalty by Bunbury. Foul was committed on Herivaux.
Revs twitter has a gif of the penalty call and PK finish. Looks like a good atmosphere. That's one great thing about the growth of the game, the modern approach to this tournament, and playing in smaller venues. I remember watching an Open Cup game at Foxboro with about 500 of my closest friends at most. Providence on a week night is too much of a haul for me, but looks like a nice scene.
Homer or not, Brad's generally wrong/confused about his opinions. When my son played HS soccer, there were parents that didn't know what was a foul and what wasn't, let alone offside calls. Some of those people had been attending games for 10 years or so. That's what Brad's like. Shouldn't what he's watching sink in at some point in time?
Femi - Wright - Teal Herivaux - Caldwell - Kobayashi D Smith - J Smith - Woodbury - Farrell Knighton 60' - Rowe on for Farrell, Koffie on for Caldwell 71' - Fagundez on for Kobayashi
Decent video production - kudos to the Revs and/or Providence College. Hope we draw another home match.
