Confirming some of @K Edgar's speculation in the season thread, Yesli gets a start, AJB back on the bench and Dyer sits. Ponce gets the start at striker.

Interested to see how Yesli and Ponce do in their 1st CPL starts.  Is DeBrienne injured or a healthy scratch?  AJB will be departing to Haiti camp very shortly.

Brutal game to watch yesterday from the stands. Defensively the team is fine   Only one goal conceded in 3 home games, but only one goal scored which at this level is poor  

When they have to be the team to impose the game they are not very good. If they are afforded space on the counter, they are a threat because of Akio and Rea. Felt bad for Ponce yesterday as he had no service from the midfield. Hopefully this gets corrected soon.
