Friendly #2
We host CASL Chelsea, a team we can play because they're nearby. They're in a much higher league than us though and we're probably going to get smashed and as a result are going to try to breeze through this one.
I do start all my new players today.
We're scoreless at halftime, with neither team putting a shot on target yet. I make all my changes around the 60 minute mark, again just worrying about fitness here.
My backup AMR gets hurt after going in.
80th minute we have a nifty give and go to get ST Roth a clean look in front of the keeper, and he puts it wide.
Wake Forest 0 : 0 CASL Chelsea
A good result for us, most ratings in the 6.6-6.8 range, new MC Jhon Mora with a 6.2. Neither team put a shot on target all match.
My new keeper Amidu Gyan was man of the match.
Injury Update
AMR Bo Thompson twists his knee and is out 4-5 weeks. Our starting AMR went down in our first friendly, but not for too long, so this doesn't hurt us too much yet.
New Signing
24 y/o AMR Ryan Crook - Another guy who was a reserve one division above us, not my first choice but not bad really.
Crossing 6/Dribbling 7/Technique 8
Decisions 6/Flair 13/Off Ball 4
Accel 8/Agi 7/Balance 9/Pace 6
Crook likely immediately becomes my backup AMR, competing with Ian Cooper, and likely rotating with him since Cooper is 16 years old.
