TennZip Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 Senior Tate Robertson of BG and Junior Chris Brennan (Copley native) want to make up for many years of frustration and they want to whup up on this young zips team. Zips need to play much better than they did against Syracuse https://bgsufalcons.com/news/2018/10/4/mens-soccer-akron-comes-to-town-on-alumni-weekend.aspx 1 Quote
TennZip Posted October 5, 2018 Author Report Posted October 5, 2018 good 5 minute interview with Jared in this article. if you like Akron soccer, it is worth your 5 minutes...he talks about Diogo's potential and skill, the disappointment of the Syracuse game, the testy environment that the zips will encounter at BG, his happiness for Sinisa and Caleb https://gozips.com/news/2018/10/5/mens-soccer-akron-opens-conference-play-at-bowling-green.aspx 1 1 Quote
fknbuflobo Posted October 6, 2018 Report Posted October 6, 2018 If we do not take our defensive 1v1 battles more seriously, lineup and formation will be meaningless. Proposed... http://football-formation.com/lineup/70026/proposed-Akron-Zips10-6-18 Create your own lineup at football-formation.com Only David Egbo is in real championship form. Carlo Ritaccio is getting there. So, players on the bench should stay ready. Many jerseys may see action tonight. Quote
TennZip Posted October 6, 2018 Author Report Posted October 6, 2018 This is a true gut check game. The zips need to battle but they also need to keep their composure. BG will do everything they can to get David Egbo out of the game. Quote

I would think it's better if they specialize in one spot(?) Or is this more about who should be starting based on recent performance? Quote
TennZip Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Posted October 7, 2018 Too many long passes tonight for the zips... picture quality is good...but these announcers are awful... You would think that BG has won 3 straight national titles...with the way that these players are being described by the announcers Zips need to start playing possession soccer and stop standing around 1 Quote
fknbuflobo Posted October 7, 2018 Report Posted October 7, 2018 Hard to play short passing style in standing water. Quote
ZipsVoice Posted October 7, 2018 Report Posted October 7, 2018 No real build ups to anything in match...maybe ot will see a concerted style Quote
zipsrule Posted October 7, 2018 Report Posted October 7, 2018 Do we have a plan of attack? Or are we just kicking the ball? 2 Quote
ZipsVoice Posted October 7, 2018 Report Posted October 7, 2018 You so right about these announcers....”classic MACtober soccer”. ? Quote
zipsrule Posted October 7, 2018 Report Posted October 7, 2018 We have a draw in our first conference game. Not what we were expecting.... Quote
ZipsVoice Posted October 7, 2018 Report Posted October 7, 2018 Weather definitely hampered our attack....disappointing. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted October 7, 2018 Report Posted October 7, 2018 Interesting formation shift after the first half. I think it was 3-3-3-1. Milanese, Ritaccio, Strachan. Quote

TennZip Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Posted October 7, 2018 16-1 in corner kicks...ugh Egbo had several good chances...I am sure that the wet conditions were a factor Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) I was at BG last night. The condition of the pitch was horrible, but the fact is the chances were there to score. None of our players stepped up to do so. I give credit to our defense under horrible conditions and a very slippery field, they never really allowed BG to seriously threaten.
