Welcome, welcome, and welcome to Richmond Kickers Weekly. My name is Darrell Grove and I'm joined by a man who didn't see any goals in FC2 Sun-Nill, Richmond Kickers-Nell.

His name is Taylor Rockwell.

Hello.

Hello, I didn't, but your introduction was almost as electrifying as some of the performances on Saturday evening.

Yeah, it was not the greatest game of soccer, unfortunately. It wasn't an advert for the sport. It was not. I mean, unless you're trying to prove to people that red cards do happen, there were three. So, yeah, in terms of incidents to discuss, I guess we should discuss the red cards. And then maybe we should talk about what we want to see from the kickers in the final

three games of this season because there's one away game left then two games at home and as you

pointed out to me just before we started recording they do now have the e next to their name in

the standings correct he stands for eliminated from extra good from playoff it does not stand

for it doesn't good so yeah last week we said it's mathematically possible for the kickers to make the players, but very unlikely. It's now official. Tucson, kickers, Toronto, 2, and Orlando City B all have the lowercase E next to the name. All right. So now. I prefer it. I prefer knowing that it's not possible because it's always like that. That weird little glimmer of hope was taunting me.

Exactly. Yes. And now we can categorically say this season did not go as expected. Yeah, because we were expected to make the playoffs. We did. Yeah. At a minimum, I would say. So I think we are going to do some end of season conversations as we get closer to the end of the season. We're going to have our friends from River City 93 on.

Crossover.

Yeah.

It's going to be a crossover extravaganza.

A crossedover extravaganza.

But before we do that, we should conversations as we get closer to the end of the season we're going to have our friends from River City 93 on crossover yeah it's going to be a crossover extravaganza a crossover extravaganza but

before we do that we should talk about the nil nil draw at tucson this past weekend all right so

let's look at those red cards so what the 84th minute connoisselloski was sent off yep 87th minute

wahbaquai sent off yes That's two of our centerbacks.

Maybe we'll talk later about how that impacts the game against Chattanooga on Saturday night. I guess we just go no centerbacks? Yeah, why not? We'll go all attackers. Ivan Magalas versus the world. And two goalkeepers. What could go wrong? Yes. Shinovsky's red card. Shinlinsky's red card is sort of like, it's not, I wouldn't say it's his fault necessarily, but it is sort of what happens when you play Conor Shonowski as your deepest centerback, and you're looking to him to make a big defensive play using his pace. And in this case, it's essentially, I think it's a ball from Akwe played into Boatang. There's a turnover there. but now because Tucson, I think, are kind of stepping forward trying to get a result because they themselves at this point are down a man. So it seems like maybe this is an opportunity. We've kind of caught the kickers on a break. And it's three attackers kind of stream forward and mass. It doesn't really matter, though, because the Ford, who has the ball, who's name I forgot, thank you. Who has a burst of pace?

He does.

He bursts between, what, Aquai and Troyer?

Yeah.
