KC Current
Keeping Current pod, same results on the field but new voice on the pod
Current struggles continues and we needed to talk
Kansas City’s struggles continued with another 2-0 loss, this time to the Houston Dash. Thad Bell from the Kansas City Soccer Journal is back with a new voice on the pod to talk Kansas City Current. Talented soccer player Keaton Coad has joined the Journal. Keaton’s analytical outlook helps break down what the Current did wrong and could have done better.
Houston’s Diana Ordóñez scored when she was able to turn on a Current center back shortly before the half. The Dash followed it up a few minutes into the second half on a set piece when  Caprice Dydasco found defender a lightly defended Ally Prisock at the back post.
The Current were expected to be far better than their record so far and but they are on a five-game losing streak. Four regular season games and one NWSL Challenge Cup match have ended in defeat. Various defensive woes and sporadic scoring have seen the Current drop to the bottom of the table in 12th place. Time is running out for the Current, what can coach Sjöblom do to turn it around? Are they playing the right formation? Style?

Just want to say awesome use of your platform to boost young soccer voices, Thad and Co. TBT/KCSJ seems to have always been committed to that work (i.e. Aly Trost Martin) and I think it’s really cool.
Thanks, Keaton is awesome and I see a great future for her. There may be a couple of other young contributors as well. Still working on those.
Me??
A wee bit younger than you.
Good stuff, love to hear new voices. And I agree with what you are saying, their outside backs are wingbacks and they do better in that 5-3-2 system from last year, but in order to play a 5-3-2 you need 3 healthy starting quality CBs and they are struggling right now to even find 2 with the injuries they’ve had at the position.
True, and the ones they do have are inexperienced. They could have perhaps used Winebrenner more often she has seemed supsect as a CB at times. Switching her to the six has not been bad but then she will again be out of a job when Loera, Scott and Gautrat are healthy.
