    I really have no idea what I'm doing with Thursdays! Lol. My thought process was pretty much..."What alliterates with Thursdays? Oh...'THEMES!'" So after that...I was thinking..."OK instrumentals only, sometimes movie themes...do I do TV themes with words?"

    • At Chicago Fire training Andrew Gutman, Hugo Cuypers and Leonardo Barroso were training
    • No Sam Rogers or Chris Mueller
    • GK: Chris Brady, Josh Cohen & Jeff Gal
    So we can be optimistic some, or all of those training should be in the squad Saturday.

    It is especially encouraging that they trained yesterday and are back in training again today. Sometimes recovering players train one day but then are not able to the next.
    Dean, Pineda, Barroso and especially Cuypers will be welcome returnees for next match.

    If fully recovered. He did not train yesterday and I prefer Dean to a partially recovered Gutman. No need to risk an injury setback.

    Good point. Gutman is quite good when fully healthy, but fragile as glass. Keep him out until he can fully contribute.


    Even I prefer a "competent" Dean to a partially recovered Gutman.

    Just in case you missed this. GGG announces Gutman out and both Barroso and Cuypers questionable. Appreciate the update by him if not message itself, although not really a surprise.
    Dean at LB and Borso at RB w/ minutes for Barroso?
    ST=??

    I was reading posts about it on #cf97. Have not seen total recording of press conference yet.
    ( sorry. Whenever wife yells at me, I just say I am a sponge and absorb everything, both good and bad, that I read.

    That is mean.
    "Pennsylvania Dave" is a fine name for a fine human person.

    Oh, you mean "X"!
    Yeah, it is very, very stupid

    Possibly. Not sure. Still waiting for final word on player availability.
    What is best formation/ lineup to break down expected low block defense and also counter a direct offense by them?
