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.
although decision experience felt known leadership level personal time
I've known Jesse on a personal and professional level for some years, and this decision did not come easily. Although his leadership and experience will be missed, we felt it was the right time to make this decision.
chances created division exercise good great overall played players playing progress score team though
It was a great exercise for us. We played a First Division team with many of its starters. Even though we didn't score any goals, I feel we created some very good chances and it was important for our players to get playing time. Overall I feel that we're making very good progress this preseason.
allow defensive felt game goal good halftime job open patient plays possession push situations tonight trying
At halftime we felt that as long as we are patient and do a good job with possession we could get the goal back. ... When you are down a goal and you're trying to push to get the goal there are going to be situations that will allow the game to open up and that's what happened. You still have to make the defensive plays out of those situations and tonight we didn't.
columbus coming goal knew last points seven six team
As you get down to the last six or seven games, the points are very important. We knew it would be a real dogfight, a battle, with a team like Columbus coming at us. Getting the first goal was very important for us.
against board build continue earned felt gotten group inside limited locker point pose road room somehow threats three today
The idea when you go on the road is to come away with points. We got one today, but I thought we earned three. We really limited Columbus. They didn't pose many threats against us, but somehow when you look up at the board it's 1-1. We have a competitive group inside that locker room that felt we could have gotten three (points), but it's an important point we got today and we're going to continue to build on that.
against board build continue earned felt group inside limited locker obviously points road room somehow standpoint threats three
The idea when you go on the road is to come away with points and obviously from the standpoint of points we go one today. I felt we earned three. We really limited Columbus. They posed not a lot of threats against us and somehow when you look up on the board its 1-1. We have a group inside the locker room that's competitive and felt we could have had three today. But again, a point on the road, an important point, and we are going to continue to build on that.
coming form games good next ourselves sure week worry
All the games are going to be tight, and we just have to worry about ourselves and make sure we get into good form coming into next week and just compete.
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.
club defenders great influence last samuel season success thank time wish
I want to thank Samuel Caballero for his professionalism and his time with the club in 2005. He was a great influence on our young defenders last season and I wish him much success with his new opportunity.
felt points shame three
It wasn't a penalty. It's a shame that it was called. ... It's unfortunate, because we felt we had three points today.
game gave goals leads three
That first game we surrendered two leads and gave up three goals and that is unacceptable to our standards.
both casual chris cover critical distance hard midfield
To the critical eye, Jesse and Chris do so much. To the casual observer, they're not flashy, but the distance they cover in the midfield is mind-boggling. They're both very experienced, and their partnership makes it very hard on teams.
believe bit creating depth finishing good
The good part is that we are creating chances, the frustrating part is that we are not finishing enough. I do believe we have the depth up front, but it's a little bit of a concern.
