Aug. 14th at New England. 7:00 P.M. Houston Dynamo (5-9-5) New England Revolution (5-9-3) Injury report as of Aug 10th NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION -- OUT: GK Preston Burpo (R leg fracture); FW Kheli Dube (R MCL sprain); FW Edgaras Jankauskas (L adductor strain); FW Taylor Twellman (concussion); QUESTIONABLE: DF Kevin Alston (L hamstring strain); FW Zak Boggs (concussion); MF Nico Colaluca (R ankle sprain); MF Marko Perovic (L gastroc strain); PROBABLE: MF Jason Griffiths (L hamstring strain) HOUSTON DYNAMO -- OUT: GK Pat Onstad (abdominal strain); DF Adrian Serioux (hamstring strain); MF Brad Davis (L quad strain); DOUBTFUL: DF Ryan Cochrane (L adductor strain) Lets hope we can get something out of this one.
With Davis being out im looking at this line up. --------Ching--Nywenya-------- ------------Palmer-------------- ---Ashe----------------Cruz---- ------------Obodai------------- -Chabala-Boswell-ERob-Hainault- --------------Hall-------------- Subs: Mullan for Cruz Oduro for Ching or Nywenya (speed against tired defenders) Maybe throw Appiah in there as a 85 minute sub (I'd like to see him get some time.)
Cameron should get some time, hopefully he's fit enough to start but he'll probably come on as a sub.
Brahma - No other option ..either we win or we are history...enough say, our defense suck ...EB need to sit out ..he make too much mistake..maybe Cameron should be given more playing time... my prediction : Dynamo 2-0 win !!
Duh! i completely forgot about him when making my line up. If he is not ready to start, than i want to see him atleast play the whole second half at CB. NO MORE MID! We need him back on Defense ASAP!
My heart doesn't want to give up but my head knows it is over. Won't stop me from creaming though!! On to my real point - Dom should play Cameron at whatever position he wants for him next year. He knows what he gets at CB. He should play him at Mid so we can see what we have going into next year. Where Cameron suits up next year will have a huge impact on our off-season.
We'll have our fate decided by Labor Day - @NE, Chicago, @Colorado, San Jose - we need to get something more than 6 points out of that, maybe even 8 or 9. Chabala is out I believe for cards. Didn't see Davis get hurt, but then again, I was starting to snooze a 2-0 the other night.
If the Dyn'mo lose, then they will need 8 points out of 5 road games left (and win all home games.) I consider Saturday night a must-win. Time to start winning or turn the page to next year.
The game guide is out so now I have a clean look at the who's in and who's out for the game. Important bits: REFEREE: Jair Marrufo. SAR (bench): C.J. Morgante; JAR (opposite): Cyril Madukanya; 4th: Chris Penso INJURY REPORTS NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION OUT: GK Preston Burpo (R leg fracture); FW Kheli Dube (R MCL sprain); FW Edgaras Jankauskas (L adductor strain); FW Taylor Twellman (concussion) QUESTIONABLE: DF Kevin Alston (L hamstring strain); FW Zak Boggs (concussion); MF Nico Colaluca (R ankle sprain); MF Marko Perovic (L gastroc strain) PROBABLE: MF Jason Griffiths (L hamstring strain) HOUSTON DYNAMO OUT: GK Pat Onstad (abdomi- nal strain); DF Adrian Serioux (hamstring strain); MF Brad Davis (L quad strain) DOUBTFUL: DF Ryan Cochrane (L adductor strain) DISCIPLINARY SITUATION SUSPENDED: HOU: Mike Chabala (caution accumulation; through Aug. 14) WARNINGS (suspended next yellow card): NE: Marko Perovic HOU: Bobby Boswell There's also this interesting piece of news from the Dynamo web site: Houston's Cameron may return to defense This is the rosy bit, they also discuss Ryan as an option but that makes me physically ill to think about.
How I'd love us start a 3-5-2 tomorrow: ---------------- Hall ------------------- - Cruz ------ Boswell ----- Hainault - --------- Obodai - Cameron --------- Mullan -------------------------- Ashe -------------- Palmer ----------------- ------- Ching ------- Ngwenya ------- If we need to press for goals, sub Cruz >< Oduro and do this aggressive 4-4-2/3-5-2 (because it's do or die time): --------------- Hall ---------------- - Cameron - Boswell - Hainault - ------------- Obodai --------------- Mullan ----------------------- Ashe -------- Palmer --- Ngwenya ----- --------- Ching ----- Oduro ------- Available subs: Robinson Mulrooney Cob Appiah Weaver Oduro
