Game is at 3pm local time (2pm ET) on One Soccer 

[jonovision]

Very interested to see the lineup for this one. Sirois or Yesli? 90 minutes for AJB? 3 at the back again? 

[narduch]

[jonovision]

First time on the bench for Mekideche? And I'm curious about the goalkeeping situation, although both guys have been good so I have no complaints.

[jonovision]

Is this Halifax pitch as short as it appears?

[jonovision]

Dive. No contact made whatsoever.

On the other hand, no need to go to ground for Romeo.

I think that rodent Salter is my least favourite player in CPL.

This is the Valour I know and follow. 

[narduch]

Salter converts rhe pk.

HFX lead 1-0 

[jonovision]

Does Halifax score from anywhere other than the spot?

[jonovision]

If Valour lose this match real questions need to be asked about their preparation from Dos Santos.

[jonovision]

Embarrassing half from Valour. Surely their worst of the season considering the stakes and the opponent. Fordyce useless when not invisible, Mekideche sorely missed. Both Jean-Baptiste and Romeo have been far too slow.

[jonovision]

If Gutierrez is hurt it's done. He's the team's best player.

The most consistent player this year for sure. It is quite evident Dos Santos gave him the confidence that Gale didn’t.

Not only their most consistent midfielder, but their only midfielder. Everyone else is a striker or wide player playing out of position, or Daryl Fordyce.

I am a bitter Valour fan but my goodness does HFX play a boring brand of soccer. 

[Lurker]

[jonovision]

Romeo and AJB have swapped spots, AJB to the middle. Dos Santos recognizing that Jean-Baptiste just can't handle the pace at this point in his recovery.

[Lurker]

It is boring and I get to watch it each week. It’s definitely Hart ball imo.  At least we’re out of the 4-4-2

[jonovision]

Gutierrez again gets stomped.

[jonovision]

Mekideche for AJB.

Rendon for Fordyce.

Forbes for De Brienne.

ASAP.

de Brienne off / Ponce on 61'

How is it possible for a team to be so consistently good against strong teams and so consistently bad against bad teams? It doesn’t seem possible.

[jonovision]

Clock has struck 12 for Valour. Not good enough.

[jonovision]

That was a 2-on-0 from halfway if the ref lets play continue. Terrible.
