Soccer vs OSU

Meh, I'd rather see them lose out so Donigan gets fired at this point. He's a terrible coach.
The team looked a bit overmatched the first half. Some good adjustments and we were right with them the entire second half. Just a little too much skill up front for tOSU. Not the coaching today. $$$$
Not sure what game people were watching. In know way were they more talented then us.
We just don't seem to understand how we want to play. Tactically we were beaten too often by through balls because our back four was playing to high. Without Decker, we do not have a true striker. I would play Dante as the 10 behind Hacket if Decker is out. The Redbull freshman ( Borden?) would sit in front of the back four and Sa would Run box to box in the middle Guzman would play next to Bryce in the middle. My outside backs and midfielders would work to create more width

Donigan is most definitely the problem. He isn’t getting the talent we need and when he actually does get a highly rated kid, they end up transferring.
Enough already.
Agree, we just have to ride this out and fire Donigan...it has been long enough, and the lack of clarity around style of play and roles/responsibilities cannot continue; this has been going on for a few years. We should expect RU soccer should be better--a lot better. His ceiling, at best, was 2nd round of NCAAs...1 season. Also have lost a number of key players via transfer.
I tend to agree Donigan is the problem. But not sure talent is at the root of it.
I am not saying we are the most talented team. I am saying, however, with the talent we do have, we seem to play with no purpose or identity. This is the point I was making in the MD thread.
I view that as a more fundamental issue. But yeah, it sure seems like it is time to move past DD.
