“I’ve said it time and time again, he’s the best goalkeeper this league has seen” (BTB, S2E12)

Season 2 Episode 12 of Behind the Beard! Today, Mackenzie and Coach Bobby discuss Forge FC’s 1-1 draw to Cavalry FC, Triston Henry’s signing to USL side Memphis FC, and expectations for hosting the Halifax Wanderers this season. Later on, Mackenzie takes Coach Bobby through a high pressure “Guess that Forge FC player” game.

Key Takeaways

• The Forge FC staff know their coffee! Milk, foam, espresso ratio must be perfect!
• Coach Bobby says the team felt like they needed something more from the first half against Cavalry being so tactically sound.
• At this point in the season, it’s about putting a streak of 2-3 games with maximum points.
• Good performances from both Amadou & Nana which allowed Forge FC to be “more aggressive in the mid block & exposing space in behind Cavalry’s backline”
• The last time Forge and Halifax matched up, they tied with a goal in stoppage time. Coach Bobby says Forge have to be more clinical and take advantage of early opportunities this time around.
