After Bobby’s slightly late arrival… he and Mackenzie discuss Forge FC’s transition from a 2-2 against Halifax to what promises to be a competitive home game against Valour FC. He shares his thoughts on Alex’s controversial yellow card, Nana’s debut, and Beni’s backflip celebration. Mackenzie also picks his brain on super powers after the Marvel match theme…

Key Takeaways:

• Coach Bobby noted that Forge had numerous scoring opportunities in the first half and you have to stay humble when you are leading.
• Garven is an excellent ball carrier and was the more suitable choice as a center back given Halifax's style of play.
• The ball was getting stuck in the grass due to the rain, making it difficult to pass and receive.
• Coach Bobby disagreed with Alex receiving a yellow card, he also emphasized that if you must take a card, ensure it is necessary.
• The top priority for Nana is achieving match fitness — Coach Bobby is focused on doing everything correctly to prevent injury.
