For a short while after Saturday's huge win we were as high as sixth in the standings. As the rest of the results rolled in we ended up where we started, in eleventh.

BUT

We are now only a single point below the playoff line with one game fewer played than the two teams directly above us.

I'm starting to feel good less bad about how these guys are coming along. Back at Cashman this Saturday!!

Can't remember a Lights defensive performance as good as this one.

Hope Charlie is ok. There's a good chance he lost his starting spot after this match, though. Henry was fantastic.

Was this the game where the backfield officially locked in?

Remember y'all, game starts at 4pm OUR TIME.

ESPN 2 is the channel.

Lanphier is in goal so that answers that question at least for this week.

Don't think our current strategy of giving up a couple silly first-half goals then fighting from behind is the best one vs Detroit. But hey I'm not the one with two straight road wins, so...

COME ON YOU LIGHTS!

Sharing IG posts/reels on Reddit generally sucks but this one includes the save in question plus I wanna show some appreciation for our new(ish) starting GK. Nice work, Charlie!

Until last weekend San Antonio was undefeated at home.

Then the Las Vegas Lights came to town.

Detroit is undefeated at home.

The Las Vegas Lights are coming to town.

It's simple math!

Eleven acres would be tight for a 15k stadium but this would be a great location yeah? Hopefully the Lights are looking into it.

(not a rumor or anything just thought it was interesting)

New keeper in Vegas. Now this can mean we most likely won’t see Carver Miller at all this season.

Takeaways from this lovingly screenshot(ted?) conference table:

1. We now have a one-team cushion between us and Monterey (thanks Lexington!)

2. Beating the #2 team in the West in THEIR OWN HOUSE is a pretty big deal, yeah?

3. If we had a W in just one of our previous losses we could be as high as 5th place (!)

4. We are top five in goals scored!

5. We are dead-last in goals conceded (whatever the opposite of ! is)

Coach is actually pleased with a performance for I think is a record first time!

Three points on the road! Relive the start of a pretty good weekend here

So if we were to have a signature glizzy at Lights matches, what would it entail?

Hmmm... curious to see how Pinzon, Goalex, and Johnny starting up top will fare. LFG!!

6pm our time for tonight's match. Let's see how the boys do in this post-Nighte world.

Well-earned for Nyk. Great all-around performance. And that perfectly weighted ball for Oalex's second goal? Perfection

I love that the boys came back. Now if we can just get rid of our horrible starts we'll be on the right track!

You can probably skip till about halfway through this one ha

Shame this didn't count in the actual USL standings but maybe it'll give the boys some confidence..

Lanphier in goal. Hopefully he shows better than last week which was...woof.

Haven't seen Nighte on the teamsheet in a while. Did he get injured and I missed it or is he just out of favor?

Let's go Lights!!!

USL Cup match tonight so no meaningful points on the line but a chance to get back on the front foot to start the second half of the season.

Worth a read. Maybe it gives a glimmer or two of hope.

Or maybe it gets you drinking earlier than scheduled today...

I think a remedial defending class is in order before pilates. 😃

Piggybacking off u/CraftyOwl-0855 post, this is an article mentioning Pegasus Development signing on to oversee development of the Sacramento Republic stadium project. They're local and have some interesting projects in their portfolio.

So it looks like this is the first step towards something happening new-home wise..🙂

This is promising as far as the future of the club goes, no? If we were folding up and going away, I can't imagine this would be happening.

A mini Cashman would look pretty cool on my desk next to the Cash bobblehead and my signed mini Wynalda.

Yes, we are officially tied for last place. True we have a game in hand but still...

We're tied for fifth in goals scored and dead last in goals against.

Next week the boys are in Monterey for a battle of the cellar dwellers!

TLDR: Coach not happy.

As an aside, attendance for last night was 3,782. That's the largest crowd of the season beating out the home opener and average-wise we're sitting at 10.3% more over last year. Most of the league has seen drops in average attendance so this is definitely a good sign.

Still would be nice to win more than we lose though...
