, in that order.
Starting with moving Shapi high and wide left on goal kicks, every one of these things was better in the 2nd half, so credit to Rapha and the staff. Now can you please get us to look down the pitch 75% more often tab we currently do?

Our plan of "eventually another team will also make a boneheaded mistake" has finally paid off. To tie the game. I hate how we aren't continuously stressing the left side they're giving us. I hate our goal kick plans. I hate we don't see Capita in a constant race against his man.

Among many, many things that need to be fixed, way up on the list is goal kicks. That's two Vancouver goals in 28 minutes tonight coming back off
#SportingKC
goal kicks. And that's at least 4 on the season. Been burnt short, burnt long, w/no good plan either way and no change incoming.

Both teams gameplans worked in that first half, unfortunately.
#SportingKC
switching it quickly up the right side when they recover off San Jose's right side overload... and then San Jose's right side overload found the space it was looking for. James did not seem to fear the guy in front of him.

"As we get going with the season"... right, okay, got it. I look forward to the season getting going. "When Chawinga comes back" would've been more honest.

The Current had a losing streak of at least 3 games in 2021, 2023, & 2024 - making the playoffs in only 2024. They previously had 3 consecutive nwsl games on the road 5 times: twice in 2022 (DLL & LWW, includes playoffs), in 2023 (WWL), in 2024 (WDD), and in 2025 (WWW). Now, LLL in 2026.

The Current have had a losing streak of at least 2 games in every season, including last. So, uh, I guess anything's still possible.

Looking at yesterday's ratings, according to
@whoscored.com
, Stevenage played the best game against
#ReadingFC
so far this season (7.07). Only other opp +7: BRD (Aw), L 0-2 (7.05). Combining WS w/ratings from
@thetilehurstend.bsky.social
&
@fotmob.com
, this was 5th league game that RDG rated < 6.

For some reason, the Current's zonal markers on the 6 all took a step up as the corner came in, and that step is why Sharples couldn't head the ball away trying to crane her neck backwards to reach it. That said, Robinson should still have done better--she's got to attack it, not wait on it.

A decent shotstopper, but untrustworthy. He's proven it over and over.

Hopefully our goal will encourage Harris that we need him to create shots more than we need him to shoot. As for their 2nd goal, goes straight into the top 5 most pathetic goals Pulskamp has ever conceded. I understand why he's pleading for a foul, because that was embarrassing.

Dusty May got whipped, and the needed shotmaking didn't materialize at the end. Leaves plenty to work on before the real tournament starts. For all the talk of Yaxel's subpar games in this run (that he came out of), would be nice to reset Johnson for the coming games.

Manu Garcia in a spot to pick his head up - what a player. I think Joveljic scored that goal purely to teach Harris not to remonstrate so vociferously when he decides to shoot instead of pass.

The 3 on the 6 are Williams, O'Connor, & Ward. This has to be O'Connor's to attack, but Luton attacked him first to hold him & his attention. Also, tho, his starting position--behind where Savage is now--was bad imo. All 3 were too deep to start for my taste.

Assist of the Season, that 2nd goal. No time for the defense. Perfect bend, perfect arc, perfect weight. Basically scored the goal itself. Ehibhatiomhan just needed to be tall and direct it toward goal. (And that's what he did, yay!)

had been decently successful defending corners before today, better than their average on season (tho bad last 9 games), but their 3 man zone got exposed on 2nd goal as O'Connor held back and run right down middle. Needed Fraser to come off his man to attack ball but that's a hard ask.

Columbus are so static on corners in their zone heavy setup, this has to be an aim in the 2nd half. Would love to see the next one on the front 6 for James to clip backwards coming out from the keeper. Otherwise just keep hammering middle 6 with runs from the spot.

Do a lot of things well for a good amount of time, including a man marking defense into attacking w/3 at the back ft. overloads and shifting wings, then... Stupidity. Or Naivete, if you feel like being nicer than I feel like being at the moment. At least it was just 1 (so far) this week.

15 is most corners
#SportingKC
have given up in a game going back to 2016. Was a huge problem last night how SJ were set up to field clearances + SKC having trouble keeping em in the field. Last 2 seasons were worst def corner years in my tracking, and last night was worse. A lot to fix.

Before yesterday at Port Vale,
#ReadingFC
had attacked, on avg, 36% left-27% central-37% right. Yesterday, according to
@whoscored.com
, 54% of the attack was up the left. Was that because of personnel/strategy or because the entire right side in the 1st half was an unplayable quagmire? You decide.

Look maybe okay then give up goals in bunches. We're so back.
#SportingKC
Davis: some good movement when he was up high. Garcia & Bartlett: sparked some good passing moves but rough in transition d. Harris not seen enough. James: looked like we hoped until the corner he stopped defending...

My rule for corners: if the keeper goes for a ball, they have to get it, or everything that happens after is their fault.

#ReadingFC
this season & 30th to start in the league. Despite having >10 games left & being on pace for least # of league starting 11s, those are both team highs for the last 7 seasons (when I started tracking).

No. Boo. No. Yuck. Ugh. No. This team has been trying all offseason to lose me & my season ticket, and this might actually have done it. I hate this. Hate it. What are we doing. No. Just a 20 yo about to be the very best midfielder in the league (and more), and she's just gone. No.

Conceded 10 goals over 5 games, and in 1 game the other team scored 0. And we're taking about playoffs? Correlation isn't causation, but is it good if the opponent scores a goal within 5 mins of you coming on in 3 of your last 4 apps? Should the manager maybe try a different def move?

pass/touch thru December and the [POY]nts table, where Wing's start (11 pts in 1st 11 games) is making it hard for everyone else to catch him. Marriott is only one near his avg, but he'll need Wing to fall off to catch the captain (& have to stay playing himself). DW has 3rd highest avg.

I do not like the Current's offseason so far. Very sad to see Pfeiffer go. Signed a few other youth, but none in attack, a backup gk, & added no pace. I guess Armas will still fill out a staff, but as is, we've added a male gm & male head coach to our male sporting director. Ugh. Nonplussed.

My dream no one will go for: A variable playoff of no more than 8 teams. Only conference champs. Playoff committee meets once. If they deem just 2 deserving of a shot that year, just 2 play. If it's 3, if it's 5, 6, same deal. This year, Georgia v Texas Tech for the shot to take on Indiana.

Great play from Pfeiffer setting up that goal. She's so important to next season for the Current imo. Very happy she's getting these minutes in this format with freedom to just attack and attack.

Won the last 4 because we had the best lines--especially on the defensive front. Getting no pressure today cause this year's defensive line can't do it alone. Gonna need a lot of investment there before next season.

Imo, Vlatko got extra time all wrong. Didn't continue momentum from reg, sought to calm things down & get back in shape. Moved Hopkins back wide so Bia was lone target again, focus of GOT. Then kept Hopkins wide after Bia hurt. Had no one to get on a ball, couldn't get out of our half. Sigh.
