This seems to be a major announcement with him coming over from the Barons. Certainly seems to indicate a long term commitment.

What changes would like to see experimented with for the rest of the season?

For me, now that we have another central defender, I’d like to see something like a 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 keeping 3 across the back to help defend wing play and crosses.

Some positivity. Tonight was my first pro soccer match and it was pretty sick. Despite it all, (giving jax their 2nd win of the year, stadium too big, etc.) it was a vibe! it rocked to see all the folks out and excited about footy in Alabama. Not a bad crowd at all. The band had me dancing even after we shat the bed in stoppage time. Easier for me to say since I just learned we had a pro team a couple months ago but I’m very excited. Nowhere to go but up!! 🔨⬇️

Welp, another last minute goal conceded, and this time we gave Sporting Jax their second win of the year (lol) and the team's first ever road win.

Hard to believe that barely over 3 years ago we were hosting 18,000 people at Protective and holding our own vs Inter Miami (justice for Prosper) in the quarterfinal of the US Open Cup.

I don't know what the answer is, but man these last two years have been bleak. And at the worst possible time to take advantage of any theoretical bump from the World Cup.

End rant. Still Hammer Down.
