With Olave out the Russell pick up could prove to be golden.

I'd love a win, but will be content with a tie against surging Houston.

A loss would be a painful way to come back after 2.5 weeks off...we have to learn how to play tough away from RES.

I'm pretty sure the game is at 6:30 MST not 8:30 MST

I guess we get to see what kind of center back Russell is. I hope he is way, way, way better than Mantilla was. Otherwise it will be 4-1 Houston. If Russell is more like Olave then I don't see either team getting more than 1 goal.

Hopefully Espindola is 100% and ignites our offense.

Going to be a tough game any way you look at it. Houston is healthy again and Jaqua looks all too comfortable being back with the team. And it' an away game, and Olave is suspended... a tie will be lucky. At some point before Oct 9th this team is going to have to learn how to play in a real stadium. I'm looking forward to this game, hopefully we can work some magic. Deuchar?
