I thought Hopkins would be better this season as well.  But they've had some injury issues (Narwiski their main FOGO, Fernandez hasn't come back from his knee injury, Grimes and Maher off the top of my head) and that schedule has been brutal. But they look "off" to me - their second line midfield was such a bight spot near the end of last season, but now they're not getting much production from that group. Injuries have something to do with that of course.  Desimone looks to be his pre-2021 self.  They've gotten some up and down goalie play (of course it was "up" against 'Cuse) and their clearing troubles are well documented.  Still can't beleive we lost down at Homewood, but it is what it is.

In reading the Hopkins board at FanLax, their fans seem very upset that the staff is implementing a system/style that does not fit the skills of the players they inherited.  Of course over on this board we are upset for the opposite reasons - our coaches are not implementing a system but rather just letting our best players have at it.  I guess why I'm pointing this out is that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the argument.  Sometimes if you don't have the players, you just don't have the players no matter what.  We might still be furious if someone was taking shots away from Dordevic and Curry that weren't on their level. Not sure the right approach is, but it felt worthwhile to point out a program that is having similar struggles, but maybe for different reasons.
