Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 5693130, member: 6798"] Hop has looked a little better this year with the overly aggressive sliding in the games I have seen. UVA looked more like the team sliding all over the place and giving up goals as a result in their game. New SSDM faces seem decent. But they also have not faced a team with the midfield weapons that we have. UNC and UVA are more sink or swim based on how their attack is doing. Towson and Loyola are lower level teams that do not reveal much. Leo Rhoa Hottle and McIntee are all very strong off the dodge. Hahn is no slouch either. Whoever is getting the short stick in that crew needs to make hop pay. And can we do more to create goal opportunities from those slides to midfielders? I would say everything looked decent in that category before this past weekend, but it was a total nightmare in terms of spacing and ball movement these last two games. As I have said earlier, this year we seem to be doing a worse job of putting ourselves in positions to score after matchups draw slides. That has to improve as it has been our main way of getting an upper hand on hop these last couple years. March has to earn that paycheck and prove this weekend was closer to a fluke/mainly the fault of our seniors making bonehead plays and turnovers. Tired of seeing us draw double teams and doing nothing with it since we are not making teams pay with our spacing. That has been our main asset every year leading up to this one. It cannot slow down now or heads will roll. Ball movement has been an issue with no more Hiltz on the attack line. We have one guy leading the team in assists this year and he is not even on the field full time. Really hope the staff makes the right call and puts leo on the left wing. I am more open for debate on if Anderson or Thomson should play in the middle on attack, but Anderson is really not giving us what we need on the left wing. Leo will draw more attention with his speed and be quicker when looking to pass. [/QUOTE]
