Tilkowsky Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 So a 1-1 draw to VCU. Not a conference game but doesn't bode well for the future. They seem to have trouble scoring goals. 1-3-3 not exactly the way to start the season. Six points outs of a possible twenty-one. Did anyone attend the game?

SaintLouBlue Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I was there for the first half. The team is just offensively challenged in my opinion. Doesn't feel like we can control the game through the midfield. Often felt like we got 10 guys behind the ball, would pass the ball around the defense, and then hoped to play long ball counter attacks. Our goal definitely had a bit of luck or was mis-played by VCU. Pretty normal corner kick that curled in toward the front post. Not sure if VCU had a defender on the post, but if they did he came off of it. Ball went straight in as keeper couldn't get across to save it and I think he assumed someone was going to deflect it.

Tilkowsky Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 They have scored four goals in seven games. Offensively challenged? An understatement. What about the kid who played for his team's national team in Africa? What is up with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmart23 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 From what I can understand, McGinty has been telling the team to come out an play defensive and let the other teams hold possession, so we can counter attack. In my opinion this is ridiculous. Especially to do this at home against an opponent we should dominate. From what I have heard a lot of the players are frustrated with the style of play, lack of possession and the fact that once we get the ball, we are instructed to just play long balls. I really think this team is talented and McGinty is taking all that away with his ridiculous playing system. After a few years of no creativity and direct play only, I'm about ready for McGinty to get the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it has only taken seven years for someone to see McGinty isn't a good coach. i don't know how talented this team is - I wonder what kind of other offers the players had. Their record suggests not very talented. i can only assume no big schools were recruiting these kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyRican Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 My first grade son has 7 goals in his team's first 3 CYC soccer games. Can he get a scholarship? He already rocks a sweet Billiken blue headband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmith19 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Opinions on this fart-powered magic carpet riding Billiken? I'm curious on what year this would have been from. '50s, maybe early '60s? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Airline-Label-PARKS-COLLEGE-ST-LOUIS-UNIVERSITY-FLYING-BILLIKENS-/391574343758?hash=item5b2ba6504e:g:V6sAAOSw8gVX6Upt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't told him about the new creature. I want to capture his reaction at the Ball State game when we enter the Fetz and he lays eyes on him. I'm mean.
