Forge make a bunch of changes from the side that lost to Montreal in the V's Cup midweek, I'm sure some guys need a rest!

Somebody needs to give the guy with a megaphone a slap.

[gator]

Forge like usual have had good possession but once again are sloppy and toothless in front of goal, 5 scoreless halves and counting!

[jonovision]

Typical Forge.

0-1 Choiniere with the probable winner

[Big_M]

henry the player of the year for now

[gator]

Harsh on Ottawa as they dominated the 2nd half and only some heroic saves by Henry gave Forge a chance to score an unlikely winner all set up by a Bekker run after a nutmeg, nice finish by Choiniere!

I am one of his harshest critics but agree he has been fantastic so far!

At HT, the Forge substitutes were right in front of me waiting to do the usual drills and saw Choiniere, Morgan, Bustos, and Sissoko and I’m thinking sheesh, if they come on, something bad is gonna happen.  And it did.

What was the announced attendance in the Stadium?

I saw a 15 second twitter video and from that I extrapolate actual attendance was about half of whatever "they" say it was.  Also I've never been to the stadium and I dont know the actual accurate capacity of the stadium, but trust me.

Right?

Who are you and what have you done with the real Triston Henry?

Ottawa have to feel at least a little disappointed.  Opportunity was there.

Oops, I meant Borges.  If you had Bustos as well, I’d be asking even more for an investigation into how Bobby gets all these players under the salary cap.  🙂

The attendance is never announced in the stadium.  I’d say it was about “average” (about 3,500-4,000) which is pretty good considering all the things happening today in the city and how hard it was for people to get to the stadium.

[gwsmith63]

Was told the attendance was 4500+.

I figured that but couldn't resist the chance to bust on you a bit, we did have a lot on the bench but to me even after the subs I would have been quite happy with a point!
