We should be so lucky that Rocha ever plays as hard as many of us do. Man, that’s an insult to those of us playing in Sunday adult leagues.

Might as well give Avila some minutes. I read into Hyndman's comments that Avila will go rogue or something if given a start. Well, you know what, unpredictability and flair are things we need on the field right now. I wish Schellas would stop worrying about everyone buying into his system and just play the most talented players. I don’t think Harris will be here next year. Might as well give Avila some minutes.

Ask a question like that about Rocha (or Saragosa or any of the bus driver's favorites), get that answer. But ask it about someone like Dax or Avila, and he would have "thrown him under the bus" (LOVE that he actually used that analogy) before you finished the question. The double standard is blatant. Agreed w/JPB4, especially re: that last comment. Don't take any responsibility for that debacle at all, coach. Nope. Comment on Burse's positioning on the 4th goal, instead. This man is a joke as a professional coach, and he's a big reason why the entire organization is now being looked at the same way.

FCD has some wins that would have been draws, and draws that would have been losses, if not for some excellent play by Burse. He is the LEAST of the many problems of FCD right now. Fine, put Sala back in, but don't hate on Burse. For a backup GK he plays his position a hell of a lot better than a lot of starters on this team, and that last goal would not have happened if Davies (quick, fast, strong, aggressive) had been subbed on instead of Torres (slow, slow, slow, tentative). Already looking forward to 2010, when FCD is again fighting for the 8th playoff spot at best and SH can continue his poor subs, poor adjustment, poor gameplanning, sure he'll find someone else to blame for a 4th goal after giving up a 2-0 halftime lead.

Their only other major issue to use the allocation for was another striker for when Kenny left, but since he's not leaving, who does that leave that we could acquire??

I've been done with Rocha for a while now. Also glad to hear that Davies will get more PT - he's made a few rookie mistakes, but I'm a fan. With Ngwenya probably returning to Houston, has there been any talk that Oduro might boomerang his way back to Dallas? That would be pretty funny if it happened.
