belief commitment performance seen start team three win
In my three years here, that was the most comprehensive of a team performance as I have ever seen my team play. From start to finish, the concentration, commitment and the belief we could come here and win was evident. I don't know what else I can say.
although great john player potential saw thank year
I want to thank Will John for his year with us. Although we only saw him for one season, I feel that Will has great potential as a young player in this League.
break needed road week worst
The bye week wasn't the worst thing. We have a long road stretch, so we needed to break it up.
home last move result
It's not the result we wanted in our last regular-season home game, that's for sure, and we're disappointed about that. It's disappointing, but that's all I can say. We just move on from here.
chris emotions heart lots soul
There are lots of emotions with Chris and his comeback. He is the heart and soul of this team.
players quality rounds
We feel there are still a lot of quality players in these rounds of the draft, so we did our homework.
blend five good leadership looking road shooting strong talent trip veterans
We want all 27 points. Twenty-seven would be great. We're going out there to win. Realistically, when the road trip is over, I'd like at least five wins, to be over .500. So yeah, we're shooting to take at least 15 points. We're not looking for draws. We have good leadership in our veterans and a strong blend of good young talent to win.
ahead behind function game games guys knowing manage quick study
We should have killed the first game off, and we know it. Knowing how to manage games when you are ahead or behind is a function of experience. I think our guys are a quick study though.
changes count everybody good guys healthy thin
You don't make changes for change's sake. You put guys in that are healthy and in good form. Right now we have a very thin roster. We're going to count on everybody to get back into good form.
fit five forward pleased
We did well with all five of our picks. Overall, we're very pleased with our selections and we look forward to working with all of them. They will fit in well with our team.
approach game otherwise time
We're going to take it one day at a time and one game at a time. We have to approach it that way, otherwise we could get overwhelmed.
bit composure far goal hanging knew opening overtime pleased proud respected rochester second team tough
We respected Rochester from the opening whistle, and they were a tough team tonight. We knew that it could go that far and I was proud of my team after conceding a goal for hanging in there. We were a little bit whipped, but we just wanted to keep our composure during the overtime and make sure we didn't give up a second goal. I'm proud of my team and pleased to be advancing.
chances easy felt few game needed point three
When I look at the tape, I would like to think we may have had a few more chances in the game overall. But this is not an easy place to play. We felt we needed to come away with a point or three and we accomplished that.
ahead allow club deadline future great profession progress secure seen senior since spot throughout timing wish
We've seen great progress in Scott throughout his two years with the Fire, so it's unfortunate that the timing of the roster deadline didn't allow us to secure a Senior Roster spot for him. He was a great young profession with our club since day one. I feel he still has a future ahead of him in MLS and wish him all the best.
