Pre/PBP/Post: New England Revolution v. Houston Dynamo, Saturday, Sept 28

ok-someone bring me up speed on this-I thought Agudelo was set to transfer to Stoke before the end of the last window? What's the deal?

 

He signed a pre-contract with Stoke. They tried to work out a loan for the last 6 months of his current contract but couldn't.

 

thanks-hey what with you trying to kill us prawn sandwich types two matches ago with that ball from the upper deck-I was there, I saw what you did, I saw with my own two eyes

 

You've got no proof.

 

stumbledore sucks

 

Wheres the poll? I was actually determined to vote for a win this time.

 

No poll?

We're going to lose 4-0

Be sure to blame @Dynamo_Forever !

 

It's just not the same without NewtexNewtex

 

Anyone else planning to be at this game?

 

Great opportunity game. Another road win here would be monumental.

 

Would be happy with a draw here but need the win.

 

I was wondering the same thing. You going? (I'm not, by the way.)

 

Philly just won on the road at SKC. Houston best win.

 

Yeah, some will say it helps us catch SKC but only if we win tomorrow night; otherwise it just brought Phillymright back into the mix.

 

im gonna go ahead and say it.

must win

especially after philly winning tonight. if we lose and don't make the playoffs, i will specifically point to this game as the catalyst.

 

If the Dynamo win two of their last five games, they will most probably make the playoffs. (The current playoff cut-line is 47 points.)

Sportsclubstats.com has the probabily of making the playoffs with 49 points at 89.2% -- or 9 out of 10 times. Three wins (52 points) and they have it at 100%.

 

That's a hard prediction to come by. I hope the Dynamo Marketing team has some big promotions to bring in big crowds for the Montreal, Sporting, and New York matches. Maybe bring in the cowbells to make noise.

 

Back to back weekday home matches against eastern teams was a bad idea.

 

No Newtex? No poll?

I guess this will do, but I'm disappointed. We need newtex to train a new newtex...

 

Friday to Wednesday? Not as a good as six days between matches, but five days before MTL, and four days before SKC who will have one less day.

I'm grateful it is not worse.

 

Well -- win two of three then win at DC.

or Win one of three and get two draws out of the other four games. That gets you to 48 points which is 88%

 

Our % at 48 will drop with the Philly win. A loss at NE will drop it as well. If we lose and say Chicago wins tonite, our likely points needed to qualify will go up. The vast majority of the simulations probably did not have Philly winning outright at SKC. That really did not help us.

Fire-Montreal will swing it some too.

 

I meant for crowds against two big opponents, especially at the end of the year in the playoff push
