Final road game of the season unless the Battery really slip up.

Andrew Miller has a pretty good preview on his blog "Battery Shots"

summary says Neagle is out due to yellow card accumilation, Armstong (back), Nunes (foot), fuller(hamstring) are out as well. Falvey (hip felxor) is quesitonable but probably wont play but it looks like Wilson will be back.

Also has a look at potential make up of the USL2 next year and mentions the fact that the Battery are "looking into" the new USL I- league.

Also the goal celebrations Andrew has been posting on his blog have been great, check out the clebration at the link above. pretty impressive for a "football" player!

Your Battery lead the series, 2-0-1, with the 'Hounds. We need a win to clinch the final playoff spot and hopefully we have a good turnout tonight. My instincts tell me we may end up backing into the post-season, but we will come out ready. It will be a tough game, since you are the league-leaders. I'm hoping for an upset, since we tied Harrisburg and you got a point in Charlotte.

could happen, but wouldnt call it an upset. the boys weren't playing full on in charlotte, surface up there is terrible and no one wants to get hurt at this point in the season. We also have several players injuried or on the road to recovery. I wouldnt expect to see them play. as it doesnt seem to be worth the risk of exasperating their injuries. on top of it all Neagle our leading scorer, is out due to yellow card accumilation.

Still I know the boys want to get it done and would love to go straight to the final and hosting it here. I would expect them to defend and sit back and look for a counter attack. which could work in our favor. the Hounds need the win and likely will be pushing forward right out of the gate. expect Tommy Heinemann to be a target tonight from several long balls. wont be pretty im sure but hopefully it gets the job done

Richmond recently added a few players onloan to bolster their team, Chris Carrieri has been added as have Joseph Kabwe and Ty Shipalane (who wears his shorts backwards on purpose) have been added as possible on-loan players from the Carolina RailHawks.

will be listening tonight online

If we drop this Match & Hounds make it into Playoffs & Iggles are OUT I'm like WAY over it...

Charleston 1
@ Pittsburgh 2

gosh darnit,,, We screwed Charlotte, what a shame ~!

The Battery put up a good fight but glad to see that WE GOT IT DONE!!
I sat next to Andrew Bell in the press box and we talked a bit before he did the game.

How do you qualify to get in the press box ? The stuff you copy & paste cannot be counted as journalism.

For those interested, I have pictures of the game, on;

And more on;

NOT a criticism KC. Honestly. But instead of linking to the main photobucket page, then making people search for your GTS page there. (your instructions are wrong by the way). Why not just link to your page to begin with and make things easier for your readers?. Now, about the wrong instructions. You said type in GTS2 in the login it. I do that, and it asks me for your password. Which, no one but YOU should know. If you enter gts2 in "search" you get pictures of cars, not soccer. But if you would just link to the your site to begin with, instead of the main photobucket page, that wouldn't be an issue. Again, I'm not picking on you and its not a criticism , but trying to make things easier for you and for people who want to see your pix.
