It just doesn't seem to get any better for the lads...injuries are a part of the game, but I wonder if Ray's thinking "What animal do I have to sacrifice to field a complete team?!" As always, we shall endure and fight to the end...what doesn't kill them will make them stronger down the stretch... Peace...
There's that tune who's name I can't remember that goes "....it never ends, it never ends". (It was played after the Caps lost game 4 at MCI Center). It applies for DC United. Damn.
I don't think things are quite as bad as Hudson and Goff both make them out to be.. After all, if Marco is indeed unable to go this gives either Q2 or Convey the green light to go ahead in his attacking position as well as Namoff coming on for Petke in the right back role, which he has played before.. So basically, we're probably looking at this if both Marco and Petke are out: ----------- Rimando -------- Namoff --- Nelsen --- Prideaux ------- Alegria -- Convey ----- Olsen ------ Q2 ------- Kovalenko ---------- Q1 ---- Stewart -------
Pretty much sums it up for me, though I would like to see Stewart as the attacking midfielder and Curtis alongside Tino. Curtis may not be our most gifted striker, but he will tire anyone that has to defend him and did get goals last season. If Stoitchkov is going to come on as a sub, why not send him on after Curtis has run the Dallas defense into the ground? Plus, Dallas has a physical backline...Quintanilla won't be able to compete anytime someone tries to push him off the ball.
................Rimando Namoff.......Nelsen.........Prideaux .................Alegria................... Olsen..........................Kovalenko .........Stewart........Convey........ Quaranta........................Curtis I wouldn't mind seeing Carrol in this game but if it stays tight keep it how it is.
