21 shots...gotta finish them eagles!

An entertaining match, both keepers made some exceptional saves, it could have been 5-3 or 4-4! Forge sat back an invited pressure and Vancouver just couldn't finish, I am pleased with this away result after the disaster at HFX last weekend!

The energy definitely points to a new coach. Vancouver fc needs some changes

[wallflower]

coaching definitely has to be the problem with Vancouver FC given its season starting players - what happened? - I have only darted in and out all season not really following but I figured before start of season Vancouver FC was looking good

question: why does Ricci make the jump from a team that appears to be in position for playoffs for a team that appears to be in position for NOT playoffs ... and so few games left in season? (was he brought in re Zach V? and whither him? not even bench. injured?)

[SpursFlu]

Where is Fry? Hurt?

The energy around this team suddenly feels very un engaged. That has to be a coach thing bit I think it's clear that even though there are some good pieces the talent on the pitch isn't on that level.  I'm hoping season 3 is a bit of a reboot for this team

[Big_M]

fry was suspended

Four losses in a row, only 2 wins from last 11 (2w 1d 8L)!  They sure seem like they're mailing it in.
