Yeah, I can't emphasize enough how much we miss players like Chase Bromstedt and Mitchell Cashion. Not only were they great defenders on the outside, what they added to the attack to free up outside forwards and MFs to clog the middle and give extra bodies on crosses cannot be overstated. Not only that but the quality of the crosses was A+ level. We are just not getting the same from Will Edwards and Luke Jeffus (I know Jeffus plays in the middle but his service into the box lacks purpose and quality). We also lack a natural 9 with MHS out of the lineup right now.Boy service into the box was bad the last 10 minutes. Imprecise to say it nicely. Lost to a team winless in conference, at home.
Does anyone know if Richnow and Bottenburg are out with injuries? Victor Thompson is really good but the other CB they have paired with him right now lacks the pace, full awareness, and experience of what's going on. USF's 1st goal came as he was trying to step up in an offside trap and didn't get high enough quick enough and the USF forward ran by him onto the through ball. His positioning was not bad overall but he never anticipated the through ball and dropped just a bit to intercept and he didn't have the pace to catch the USF forward.
I can't say teams are outplaying TU, but they certainly are taking advantage of the chances they have while TU cannot score consistently.
