Down to 24?
Hi all! The Grand Poobah asked if I’d be willing to share some of my on-field analysis of the team. For those who may not know me I’m Jason Ma on BigSoccer, and before I started the View From the Couch blog I wrote under the same title at Rapidsfan.com.
On to current news. Today the Rapids Undercurrent had some notes from Gary Smith. One in particular stood out to me:
| The fact that we have a settled 24 at the moment doesn’t necessarily mean that that will be the same 24 that starts the season |
Based on the announcements from the team, the Rapids have 26, not 24 on the roster. Ross Schunk’s torn ACL means he’ll be able to stay on the roster above the expected 24 limit. It sounds like Smith already has an idea of who the odd man out is at this point.
Given that Dalby has played two 45 minute halves in the first two preseason games and nothing since then, I’m still putting my money on him being the odd man out.
The other option is that Palguta’s injury is worse than expected and he’ll start on the DL as well, leaving the 24 signed healthy players as the 24.
(This all assumes that neither of the trialists are signed)
