      Things I want to see tonight:
      1. Mason Toye make his debut
      2. Kallman
      3. Ibarra
      4. No stupid mistakes in defense

      Is that too much to ask?

        No and yes.

        No, it should not be too much to ask for. But knowing this team, yes, it is way too much to ask for. ???

      This and fire at home are the teamst crest chances for points in the first two months. I’m not expecting an away win, but I’m expecting something close. A loss against a heavily weakened team would be disastrous

      I’m holding out hope for tonight given OCSC’s injuries and suspensions. That said, I’d be pleasantly surprised with an away win. Last weak the same weakened team came from behind to draw D.C. United playing down a man for the entire second half. 1-1 if, as Alex says, there are no stupid mistakes in defense. I don’t have a lot of confidence in that happening though…2-1 or 3-1 seems more likely.

      Would be great to get a win here. Orlando is weekend from suspensions/injuries and Loons can generate a lot of buzz before St. Pat’s day opener. Things I’m hoping to see:
      1. Ibson get more involved
      2. Midfield be better defensively
      3. competent attacking before the 70th minute.

      Same starting XI as last week, Ramirez for Danladi is the only difference.

      So Adrian Heath thinks he got his tactics right last week? Okay, huh.

          Yeah, well, Kallman definitely isn’t happening, and the defensive mistake was by a winger, but I hope we’ll see the other two.

      Sam Nicholson absolutely terrorizing the Orlando defense. Just willing to run at people. Love it.

      Very clumsy and unnecessary from Finlay.

        I thought a real misuse of VAR, but what do I know?
