What I’d like to see tonight: *forcing myself to stick with 343 GK Moore RCB Ruthven CB Pogba LCB Hernandez RM Gallagher CM Asiedu CM Goslin LM Bello (Kunga) RW Carleton FW Vasquez (Williams) LW Pereira (Wild) Unused subs: Castanheira, Benitez, Metcalf, Conway
Carlton was called into the U-20s, so he could be unavailable. Not sure when their camp starts. If Bello is healthy, I'd like to see him on Sunday, though Mikey was passable on LW if FdB wants to stick with him.
My understanding is no one gets released until after Sunday. Nearly went tonight but my wife says it is going to be to cold... talk about plastic fans.
I haven't caught any matches yet so I cant truly say. I think the venue change was smart but Kennesaw is further from me than Buford.
Haven't heard any hype at all about any of the players on the squad. They've scored 10 goals out of 10 games. Sounds like they're having the same issues learning the system the way the first team has.
I am not to worried about results at the USL level. More concerned with player development. Any of you guys going to the AU2 games? I am thinking about redeeming some vouchers for the June 7th game and if anyone is there I'd love to put a face to the moniker. I'll buy the first round.
If anyone is interested, I was flipping through the channels and ESPNews is broadcasting the AU U14 team against Monterrey in Manchester City Cup championship match.
One thing for damn sure... I’d like to see Atlanta United 2 drop down to League One. What good does us to constantly lose like 5-0? That can’t be good for development.
I'm sure there are financial reasons league-wide not to do so, but I'd like to see the the 2's just treated like a reserve team elsewhere in the world, and everyone is on the roster for the main team, allowing for free movement. That way it would he easier for guys to go down and get game time if they're not in the first team roster, and it would incentive better second tier players to sign with the team. Play above expectations, and you could bump up to the main team. As it stands, I'm not sure playing so close to the parent club helps either. The 2s aren't exactly a huge draw. If I'm a USL level player, I'd be more attracted to going to a team who's number one in their market, even if the facilities aren't as good. Better to play in front of thousands of fans instead of hundreds.
