Form: WL Home: 1-0-0, 3 Points, 3.00 PPG, 2 GF, 0 GA, net +2. Form: W Away: 0-1-0, 0 Points, 0.00 PPG, 1 GF, 2 GA, net -1, Form L Both teams come into this match trying to figure out where they are. CITY's down-to-the-studs remodeling is still awaiting arrival of players, awaiting players returning to health, and awaiting new players adapting to the new system. CITY had a 1-1 home draw against Charlotte and an 0-2 road loss at San Diego. Seattle has several new faces as well, and managed a 2-0 home win over Colorado and a 1-2 road loss at RSL. In a schedule quirk, CITY's return match in Seattle is just over a month away, April 18. Discuss.
Next week is more difficult than last week, which ramps up the pressure on this week. If we are to believe what CKB tries to feed us, that we are a potential playoff team, this really is a must win. We can't afford to be on 1 or 2 points after 4 games. If we are to compete for the playoffs we have to win home games. Keep telling me it's early days, but we are already being cut adrift after 2 games. Olof had 8 points from 4 games (including a point at San Diego and 3 points at home to Seattle). And we witnessed this week how quickly the fans turned from hope and optimism from a draw at home to Charlotte, to Chicken Little after the San Diego game. If you continue to lose points, you will lose the fans. Patience is thin after 2 years of shit.

Things must not be good for Lowen. This is a lot of time, and I thought we might get him for home games at least, and the fact that we aren't getting that can't be good. Prayers for the Lowens.
It certainly feels that way . . . was at the game last night . . . front office made a huge mistake in its tag line for this year . . . "Simply the Best" needs to be replaced with "The Thrill Is Gone" . . .
