Lara got some minutes vs Rochester, but before that he’s been mostly useless this season in his limited minutes. I’m a fan of the guy, and think he COULD be a big producer for us with starter’s minutes. Rather see Tommy in there though.

Actually, the player who seems to be missing in this equation, based on last year’s late in the game subs, is Lara. Seems to have dropped off the map.

Not really sure I agree with her on the tinkering with the lineup. Yes, there is some merit to keeping it constant, but really the only tinkering has come in the midfield. Back 4 have stayed the same and our two forwards haven’t varied much (save red card susp.). Dombrowski’s been in for Tommy, we’ve had Guante/Olum on the right, Higgins at left or center, with minor experiments with Little. But, Olum, Dombr, Tommy, Gregor, & Higgins all have over a year’s worth of experience together already (incl pract). What we’ve inserted in Guante & Little is perhaps a little more creativity & speed.

I didn’t realize Brownie was that dominant in terms of shots. 32, and the next highest with 9? Yikes. All shall quiver in fear before our one-pronged attack.

You haven’t heard? Cameron Knowles and Justin Thompson have morphed into one player who is 450lbs and runs the 100-yard dash in 16 minutes. Tough as nails though.

Thanks for the correction. More errors coming your way soon….
