I thought that for the most part there were four players, maybe five who were actually in the game. I think Marlon is a great player, most of the time, but for some reason we just seem to lack control of our own motivation.

The bottom line for me is that I can live with sloppy play as long as we keep trying and play the game with guts ... maybe we just have to really battle for a result. I can live with playing with a weak team if everyone on the field puts in 100% ... maybe we get lucky. I can live with a bad performance as long as we take lessons fromit and we don't see the same perfromance the week after ... maybe we boune back with a great game and a win. I can live with a team on a learning curve ... maybe we actually learn something and make some changes and then we improve. I can handle being beaten by a better team ... that's football, somedays we're the better team.

I'll tell you what I can't handle ... no effort, no passion, no energy and no caring after the fact.

Amen to Scholesy!

Not true. Put Cila in there, he can do it!

To my knowlege Cila did not travel.

Actually, I thought I saw Cila standing near the bench when Nolly THOUGHT he was going in near the 82nd minute.

That is very possible. I don't remember seeing his name in the available player list.

Obviously if he was there then he could have gone in instead of O'Brien.

I suppose I could ask him at practice today! 😉

Deuce, your right, Cila was there but unavailable:
Real Salt Lake -- D.J. Countess, Marlon Rojas, Brian Dunseth (Dipsy Selolwane 72), Eddie Pope, Nelson Akwari, Chris Brown, Brian Kamler, Leslie Fitzpatrick, Andy Williams (Leighton O'Brien 46), Jason Kreis, Clint Mathis (Evan Whitfield 31).

Substitutes Not Used: Matt Behncke, Jay Nolly.
