Disappointing. On the bright side, a really good crowd, TBB was strong and loud, a terrific goal from Skundrich, the lines moved well to get through security and the Ubahdank tastes as good as ever (but let's not talk price). Surprised Penagos started. He looked a little lost out there and was for the most part ball chasing. A gameday work in progress. Sargis looks really good and his pass to Barahona that led to Skundrich's goal was a beaut. He did get a little overconfident on the ball in the 2nd half, though. I really don't know why Mahoney started over McCrary at RB. Only Gomez was on the injury report so Jordan was likely healthy but not even in the 18. MIght have cost us the game. Lastly, Tulsa forced us to work up the flanks almost exclusively where we repeatedly tried to whip the ball into Iwasa in a tight space between two defenders. Tulsa wasn't having any of it. Need to come up with another idea, guys.
New season, same old problems. Lack of clinical finishing doomed SRFC to an undeserved draw at home against a vastly inferior opponent. Lather, rinse, repeat.
