Away Game Day Info

Saturday, March 9th, Kickoff 3:00pm

First kick happened. What did we learn? We learned that Jon Erice and Inbeom Hwang have the skills to pay the bills, but they need more time for the team to get comfortable with each other. The system is new to everyone and it showed. There were times when we saw glimpses of what could be, but obviously the whole is not yet greater than the sum of its parts.

We also learned that the team has rallied around Dos Santos’ call to be accountable to each other. The team went down 3-1 and last year that would have been the signal for some players (who are no longer with the Caps) to coast through the rest of the match and try again another day. This group didn’t do that. They rallied and put up a fight. Considering some of the performances we’ve seen in the past, that itself is a significant positive change.

So what does that mean for this week on the road against the imitation Iberians from Utah? I think it’s best summed up thusly:
