Remember that game where Benedetti played sweeper?

I know Gav said we don’t want the added pressure of “must win” declarations, but with all the games in hand for the other teams, a tie at home is no longer gonna cut it.

Hope you’re right about JT playing. Would make sense to try to find a way to stagger the suspensions, as Higgins seems to be a candidate to slip into an outside defender role while pushing Scot inside with Cam. Otherwise, if both are out Gav may have to use Poltl outside. (Which says something about our “loan” defenders.)

Like Finn, I’m curious about Guante also.

Didn’t Guante pop his hammy in Atlanta?

I’d start Walker instead of Little tonight (and have him switch sides with Guante), but otherwise, the team kind of picks itself since there are so few available player options. And would love to see the wide middies actually stay wide and spread the field a little for the first time in a long time.

Here’s hoping for holding out for a 0-0 score?

Mon the Timbers. I’ll try to scream loud enough to make up for your absence tonight. Oh, and I’ll be drinking your beers for you as well.
