It’s about we won! The midfield looked sloppy at times, but the back four played a much more solid game this time out. For the first 20 minutes of the second half, I thought the United actually looked like a good team (for once!). They held possession and created some good scoring chances. Allsopp will get man of the match, but Quaranta and Najar played well up front, as well. Major kudos goes to the back four which pretty much shut down the dangerous Le Toux-Mwanga combo.

It is nice to see that we are capable of scoring goals in a league game. Kudos to Allsopp and company, especially Najar. It was also nice to see Simms back as well. Burch seemed to have an off-game. I’m glad Olsen is starting Hamid over Troy. This was another game that we still haven’t seen much out of Hernandez & Boskovic. I don’t know how I should feel about beating the 2nd worst team in the league at home, but a win is a win, so I guess I’ll feel good about it. Also, I don’t know if it was just the broadcast angle, but attendance looked really poor for a Sunday afternoon game.

The biggest thing I remember is Burch’s errant pass late in the game which led to the yellow on James who had to compensate for it. The reason it stuck out is that Burch has been solid this year since coming back. The fact that I noticed Burch today gave me reason to suspect that some of his decisions on that side of the pitch were not up to his usual stuff. There were some other minor things earlier in the game as well. Believe me, I like Burch there, especially in lieu of some of our other defensively challenged players who I hope will not see another minute this year.
