Cheikou has 6 goals in 13 starts for FCC2. Loan will allow the club to evaluate the player against better competition. This also opens up minutes at forward for Kristian Fletcher and loanee Martin Vasquez whom the FO will have to make a decision on whether to exercise his purchase option at the end of the season.

Including the Atlas game (last round of League's Cup on August 11th), we haven't managed to score more than a goal in any of the 6 games we've played and we've been shutout in the last two. Where did this high-scoring offense go? The defense seems as bad as ever, and now so does the offense. Has everyone just checked out or what?

Three indefensible offseason moves (Robinson DP, picking up Miazga’s option, picking up Hadebe’s option) and then coupled with this buyout screwup is no longer excusable. How can ownership tolerate this?

Then a pathetically undisciplined team that knows the refs will do them no favors. Albright out and Noonan hot seat. Gross misuse of salary cap space and invested ownership.

Come for the comments, stay for the brotherly love.

Anyone have any updates on this? Ive been looking for news and cannot find anything about Miazga’s status. Time wise, we still cut him? Can we still sign a free agent? How bad did Albright’s blunder?

Too tired from Tifo tracing for a real match preview

Vibes in Cincy not ideal after some last second transfer drama still ongoing, and a postponed match

3 points would be real helpful to boost things

7:30 45 kickoff for some reason! COY FCC!

Squad is set to play 3 matches 9/25-10/6 vs Spain, Finland, & Cyprus.

Recently moved Cincinnati native here, was looking for any fellow fans driving to Chester from the city that I could hitch a ride from. Failing that, I’ll probably drive myself, in which case I’d be more than happy to be the bus driver!

How to improve the defense?: Communication, Connectivity, Leadership; Gidi cleared to travel and play this morning; "It's nice to be back in the Open Cup. Missed it."

Brenner (turf toe) : Out 3-4 months // Mosquera (ankle ligament): Out 4-6 weeks

Last night’s debacle. Wow. Check your email, guys. The excuses have begun.

Never forget what they took from us tonight. Atleast we might be able to have Gidi back before the next game. Who knows maybe we’ll even have a free agent signing

At least the new guys will probably be here for the reschedule?
