Cripes, third game already.  Who want to stay at the top of the table???  Forge I am not looking in your direction...Sorry Gator.

The late start time is good but goodness - Valour has been run pretty ragged early on and without a lot of the top level talent. 

At least they start getting four day breaks after this. And maybe we can get Reyes, Moutou & Galhardo in?

Also want to look at how Atletico have improved - They did lose to Cavalry but it's early and it's Cavalry.

Valour up 1-0 at the half. Ohin scored.

If this score stands they will top the table after 3 rounds

Tough call on the Ferdinand goal. Looks like the ref had a blinder in slow mo. In real time it looks soft. Big call. Big goal from Ohin who has looked really bright so far this season in a more attacking role. 

[Ingham]

Valour have been the best team so far I reckon.

[toontownman]

Nice open game with some great passing. Just horrific end product!

[Ingham]

Jared Ulloa has been a proper impact sub 👀

[Bison44]

I thought the end product was pretty good.  Very happy for Ohin, he always puts in a full shift.

Just as all of us Valour fans have been saying for 2 years already, Rob Gale is a top manager whose lineup choices are unquestionable, his tactics impeccable, and his sideline demeanor unimpeachable. How could anybody be surprised that he has his boys on top?

Powley should have had the first goal ..
