40 - So
Pino blows a sitter earlier in the match, and now
Lewis is sent off with an unfair red card. Awesome.
Coker is left as our primary CM, with
Richards in as the second D,
Cummings also sitting.
56 -
Wilson in for
Pino
63 - JFC.
Wilson is whistled for the PK and OFC they convert
0-1
65 -
Wilson gets the ball on the cross and centers back in. Tackle after tackle until finally
Coker atones for his earlier whiff on an easy one by poking the ball in
1-1
68 -
Coker taps it just left to
Kowyn Samuel. He's under heavy double-team pressure, so he wings out to
Wilson all alone on the left side. Cross, and streaking
Jamerson slots it away!!!!
2-1
71 - We just can't defend set pieces at all
2-2
74 - Yep, I already knew how this ashgohasghasoghaoghasgh awas gosghasghasghoasfghoasfgasg
2-3
87 -
Kowyn Samuel to
Coker to
Jamerson diagonal, and on the dribble into the box, our leading scorer spears a pristinely plotted shot in!
3-3
Impressive result, considering A) We were huge underdogs, and B) We played most of the game short-handed.

G: Michael Amoroso
D: Nicholas Samuel/Nicholas Richards/Hayden Vincent/Akil Scotland
MC: Everald Coker/Trent Cummings
AM: Damian Pino/Kowyn Samuel/Shaquille Leslie/Kevin Jamerson
Yep, we're going with a striker-less formation because we have no one able to play up top who is healthy other than some youth guys I don't like (we're going to be cutting a *LOT* of people in the offseason).
2 -
Pino takes the wingout from
Leslie and dribbles down the left side. His cross hits
Jamerson amidst three defenders. Our boy dribbles left past all of them and kicks the short-range in!!!
1-0
5 - You knew that immediate answer was coming
1-1
51 - HE WAS OFFSISDESs!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicholas Samuel is yanked for
Stewart and I think I'm going to just transfer list him.
1-2
We had a shot to tie it up towards the end of the game, but
Pino once again blew the shot. I'm not quite ready to list him yet, though.
Nicholas Samuel is absolutely furious he's been listed, but frankly, he's been one of our worst players this season.
Transfer In - AMR Colin Williams (27) - From Prisons (TRI) - $8k/year
Signed to a multi-year deal with solid physical attributes, including 14 Acceleration, 10 Pace. Also has 11 Flair and 18 Leadership, and may well take over the captain's role. 10 First Touch, too.
Transfer In - ST Dwayne Alzola (29) - Free agent - $8k/year
Also a multi-season contract. While up there in years, he has 11 Dribbling and Finishing, 10 Determination, 11 Off the Ball, 13 Work Rate, 11 Acceleration, and 10 Pace. A touch worrying he only had 1 goal in 20 appearances and a 6.21 average rating at a higher level, but perhaps they weren't using him right.
Transfer In - GK Kevin Mussio (28) - From Santa Rosa (TRI) - $10.5k/year
He was pissed about his lack of PT, but he's even better than
Michael Amoroso, with 10 Aerial Reach, Communication, Handling, Reflexes, and Decisions. It's a very slight thing, but still big enough that we'll be set for the future in the net. Also a lengthy deal.
Transfer In - DR Marvin Thomas (17) - From Santa Rosa (TRI) - $1.8k
Yep, we're poaching guys from one of the top teams in the league who haven't been getting enough PT. A rental, and a solid all around player with 12 Teamwork and 10 Stamina. Fills one of our biggest holes.
Transfer In - DLR/WBL Devon Young (17) - From Spiria - $2k transfer fee - $7k
11 Stamina and 17 Teamwork! I'm really excited to see how this kid does, even though he's only signed through the end of the season.

[b]23[b/] - UGH! An own goal by
Lewis 0-1
52 -
Scotland for
Lewis;
Jamerson for
Williams
62 -
Coker to
Morgan to
Pino, and there's the equalizer after we miss some open opportunities
1-1
85 -
Pino with an amazing steal, and on the counter,
Morgan plays it just ahead into space for
Pino to pick up and cross to flying
Jamerson for the go-ahead goal!!!!
2-1
7.5 for PotM
Damian Pino, 7.1 for
Kevin Jamerson off the bench, and a number of 7.0s, most notably
Devon Young on his debut. That's our first league win a long time.
And of course, our shiny new striker,
Dwayne Alzola, is out with injury, for anywhere up to 3 weeks.
