Anemic Attack Continues To Plague Hyndman's Troops

Two matches into the 2011 MCSSA campaign and a grand total of 0 goals scored for Manager Hyndman's Continentals. As a lot of positives can be taken away from yesterday's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Winter Rovers of Bergen, but at the end of the day putting the ball in the back of the net has to be a priority for Morristown.

The Keeping, Defense and Midfield play was much improved in Mondays loss, but this isn't the first time the Continentals have played the Rovers tight, remarkably the lads always seem to make a contest out of the old derby match, the kids seem to know how to get up for a big game.

Consistency seems to be the thing that has always been missing from the 1776 arsenal. When they play with heart and passion they play competive and once in a while actually win a match.

Gone are the days of looking to Correa, Taylor, Chase or Luthi for every Continental attack, but the lads are now starting to look like a real team and seem to have the fewest weak spots and deepest roster in the clubs short and rather forgettable on field history.

Sure the midfield build up must improve, forwards must make better and smarter runs, the confidence to drop the ball to the D and let them switch fields has never existed here, and possession could be much better. But positive signs are showing thru in Hyndman's camp and his boys have 11 league matches left to show what some think will be the best form in Continental history, but to avoid another false start in on-field improvement and failed expectations they just gotta put the ball in the net, as a team this time not one man runs.
