With that. It's only two preseason games. Not big on grading players but I feel like it's fair enough to evaluate a player on a performance based on whether or not they met expectations based on their role with the team and expected talent level.
A "1" given for a player exceeding what I expected, "0" meeting it and a "-1" falling short.

Larry,
Did not get to stream either game.
One question and one question, only.
Do you see improvement in ability to score goals, either as a team or as in dividuals?
18 shots in the FIRST HALF against a PDL level Austin Aztex keeper - 6 on frame, zero goals. Only goal came late from Barson from about 6 inches away.
Answer my question, dam-nit! Improvement or no?
Oh, I see--cleverly hinting...no.
yeah... no improvement. Also, if GB can't engage Kamara and Pogatetz than Crew fans are looking down the barrel of a RIP-ROARING WHITE KNUCKLE ROLLER COASTER RIDE ... to a mid-table finish (albeit slightly above average is many key metrics!)
And, thus...playoff soccer.
"we're top 60%!"
New rallying cry. (Hope the increased goal scoring part happens)
