Feels like it is really flying under the radar...
...that Milan Iloski is sitting on 17 goals in MLS alone. Think he breaks Gazdag's record of 22?

I want this whole team to fly under the radar. I want other teams to not take them serious and hopefully we can roll through the playoffs

To be honest, every team right now that still has us on their schedule are thinking about us. Every time we face a team with a top scorer we seem to find a way to shut them down. Then we are getting great scoring chances with pure grunt work. Nobody wants to face a team on a hot streak.

He'll at least match it, I think.
What's also a nice surprise is the uptick in Damiani's form, too. He's at 12 for the season in all competitions, which is 3 better than his total for last season. It'd be good to see him break double figures in the regular season and build on that (he's got 9 MLS goals this year, which is 2 better than last season. I think he can finish with at least 11 and be quite happy with that regular season total)

This year we fix Bruno. Next year we fix Alladoh.

I'm fine with sending him to Lyngby on loan next year and using Stas Korzeniowski as ST3. Malik Jakupovic might be sold in January if the current interest in him from big clubs in Germany is to be believed.

I’d hold him through the spring season. the summer window is much better priced and much more robust than the January window. the European teams are trying to offload deadweight in January and then look for value replacements.

And add the fact the team were 7 layers of dogshit bad for MONTHS until the World Cup break. Dude could probably have scored a couple more breaking Gazdag’s record by now.

I sort of thought Milan had like ~12 goals. When I saw 17 my first thought was he might have dropped 4 or 5 on Defence Force FC. But no, he did not.

Honestly I feel like he was still bagging goals through that rough run of form but certainly could have been more if the collective team were not lost beyond belief.

I mean he's top 5 in the golden boot race
With the firepower the Union are working with, he's getting there. 6 more games to get 5? Easy

agree that it’s flying under the radar. what an acquisition he’s turned out to be.
