We were very lucky with the draw.
It is very likely that this will not be the last win of the season.
You were right! Two wins in a row, the season record at 3-1. Looks a lot better than last season. But: it won't continue like that. The team is not yet ready to compete on a high level. We would have won against Bahamas with a "normal" effort. But I wasn't sure that they would play TIE. I was pretty sure they'd play normal. And normal vs normal would have been a close call. I needed to win that game as it is the only one we had a really good shot at winning. All of the other teams have teams that are normally too much for us to stomach. And without HCA, it's almost impossible to grab another win. But I'm quite positive that we're on the right track ...
Spens returned this week with a good GS (as promised by Gaahlpest, thanks a lot!!) AND another up. He is working hard to become an international threat. Even though he hasn't really worked on his offense. Yet!
And shooting 12-14 whilst also grabbing 16 boards is just great!
As for Lyle: you can see why I was rather annoyed with myself that I kind of messed up last week and he didn't see a minute on the field. He's just 23 years old. And already THE star on the team besides Spens. It's great that both of them have at least another 6-7 seasons together on the team. But it's even better that Lyle will stay with the team for an even longer period of time. And I'm sure that his manager will get him the best training possible and get him to reach his potential (or even more than that).
All of the other players were solid at the very least. Corbet didn't really shoot the ball well at all (0-10). But: he did get the ball to his teammates, dishing out 7 assists.
MacShimes got some garbage time - and will definitely play more in the future, especially when he finally arrives with GS 9. Also great seeing the green arrow and hoping for a lot more during this season!
And last but not least: MacKersey. After subbing in after Doles injury last week, he was ready to start the game with gameshape 9. AND another up. It's great to see that managers start to listen to my suggestions and the results start to kick in. We've still got a long way to go, but you guys are helping me a lot. Thanks, capaldi, for MacKersey. And thanks everyone for your support!
Looking forward to improve the team during this season and handing it over in good shape and with still a lot of room to improve to (hopefully) TRUF.
Have a great evening!
