Here's the Forge starting lineup, I am concerned about Morgan and Krutzen not being in the squad:

Off, so staying up late to watch this.  Be nice if Edmonton don't embarass me.

 

By the way, after discussing comentators, I enjoy Adam Jenkins if we are looking for non-British voices.

Forge continue to frustrate me, they should have scored a couple of early goals but good keeping/bad finishing prevented that and The Eddies have grown into the game and maybe should have one of their own, the midfield play of Forge has been quite average after dominating and setting up those early chances, Forge also look vulnerable on the counter as they frequently lose  possession!

Ooof.  Was going to say the keeper was having a good game.

Love the Eddie's keeper. A true maverick. Very entertaining to watch. Just not for Eddie's fans probably! 

Henry with one of his own!

So.. what is worse in this league? The standards of goalkeepers or officiating? Both are absolutely horrific at times. Reminds me of the MLS which has over time improved.

Liked the look of Triantafillou today. Disciplined performance mopping up in front of the Eddie's defence. Maybe he has been playing up against his former club. I don't remember him standing out this much in other games.

Hope he can get trials this offseason to keep improving. Prob fced beşt chance at moving a guy to an higher level

Silly from Singh. Think he has had a dissapointing season all things considered. He needs a vet to learn from. 

Lucky boy the post saved him from further blushes.

Apparently Singh has only improved his hair since I saw him in MLS highlights.

Just not agressive. Can def see the difference between him and Amir dedic, Albert Watson, papa, Paul Hamilton even mallan Roberts all carried themselves with more authority. İnvisible way too often. Doesn't clear balls or make tough tackles 

 

There's been so many sloppy defensive blinders this year. Def need another year on loan before MLS.

Embarrassing slip aside Darlington Murasiranwa absolutely deserved man of the match. He is looking more confident each game. Nice game for the Zimbabwea!

Good on The Eddies to be very competitive in a match that was way more important to the visiting team, although they hit the bar twice I think Forge continue to be very disappointing, they look way too slow and are prone to defensive and goalkeeping errors, I expect they will finish in 3rd!

The hair still ain't all that..

Night all, I hope BT is giving the CPL a little bit more than a packet of crisps for showing these games.

As for Singh, some blame have to lie with the staff, how can you possibly review game tapes and not have the player correct his mistakes, he runs like there are two bricks in his back pocket, he is never aware and just looks stunned out there..
