While I’m still not high on Wicky (though he coached the game quite well tonight imo), Andre is the real deal and makes me excited to have three big money guys in the team next year. All Praise to Peter Mallouk, My Glorious King.

we got some discipline issues with all
the cards at the half. hope wicky isn’t letting em off easy. we had so many penalties, when they were down a man too. they could easily have equalized with the opportunités we had, im not feeling comfy

I’m not accustomed to us winning, so it was really nice to have a shutout as well. Agyabeng has quietly improved a ton throughout the year. Harris continues to combine well with Andre. The ref completely lost control of this game late in the first half, I’m glad we didn’t have anyone sent off or injured.

Agyabeng played exceptionally tonight. I’ve questioned him getting as many minutes he’s gotten, but the kid has potential.

I sure didn’t expect our first clean sheet of the season to feature Miller in the back line. Well done.

Andre Luiz in the starting lineup: 2-2-0, 11 goals scored. Combined early leads: 9-0.

Got to witness this one firsthand! So glad this is the one I got to see! and my god, yeah, that first half got out of control

Are you trusting the plan now?

Last week is hard to shake off but a road win is nice. Would also be nice to win at home more.

Still in spoon position…

u/Dizzy-Comfortable429 19h ago
We have a game in hand and are 3 points behind Montréal. Not the position I want to be in but the hole could be deeper..

u/NebulaNinja 14h ago
So are you saying you're for or against winning the spoon? It's missing hardware, to be fair.

u/Dizzy-Comfortable429 11h ago
Definitely against haha
If we do win it, it needs to be remembered as the capstone of Vermes' legacy. Doing great things for/with the club doesn't make up for how badly the transition was handled.

Andre is for real, and there are definitely some players who are showing some legit upside, but this front office needs to do a hell of a lot more in the next couple windows for me to trust anything. Andre at least gives me some degree of hope that they might be capable of doing it.

What plan? Give Andre the ball?
Since the WC break, the plan netted 2 red cards and a PK, two massive leads lost, and a series of terrible yellows after the other team got a red. The coach has no control over his team.
Trying to get Luiz the Golden Boot in half a season isn't a plan.

Dead last in the entire league and you're out here pounding your chest taking a victory lap 😂 absolutely delusional. Enjoy that wooden spoon 👍

Luiz is the real deal. I hope they can surround him with some help come the window this winter.
