Leave a comment

Episode 373:

Nick Cushing lead NYCFC to their first win under his watch in the previous week against New England, but this week the interim head coach looked to get his first road victory in charge. In order to do so, he would have to face some difficult challenges given travel, game time temperatures, injuries, suspensions and two difficult opponents.

Well, he was up to the task and then some. Cushing deployed two very distinct approaches to two very different opponents and lead the team to two one-nil victories.

This week the guys discuss these two games in depth and also go over the news that was all over Twitter on Sunday and Monday, that Taty Castellanos’s future is finally set.

Episode 368:

For the second time in their short history an NYCFC Head Coach left the team for a job in Europe mid-season. The biggest difference between this departure and that of Patrick Vieira in 2018 was that the news broke much sooner to Deila’s departure. There was no weeks long tug of war between the coach and the media. There was the game in Belson Stadium, the away match in Minnesota and then all of a sudden Ronny was gone.

This week Mike, J.R. and Chris Campbell from the Outfield discuss the news of Nick Cushing being named interim head coach for the rest of the season.

In the second segment the guys welcome NYCFC homegrown midfielder, Justin Haak, to the show to talk about his career at NYCFC.

Episode 364:

After scoring fourteen goals in their previous three games the dynamic attack of NYCFC fell back down to earth. Was it the absence of leading scorer for the team, Taty Castellanos? Was it Delia’s conservative approach to the game? Did Ronny break the cardinal rule and leave one eye focused on Wednesday’s Open Cup match?

This week the guys discuss what they saw from Saturdays waterlogged affair. They also touch on the slew of injuries to players on the astroturf fields after two league stars fell victim this past week.
