Not convinced with MM’s coaching. Got whooped again today and will most likely get the same against Legends. Supposedly added more talent but doing worst. They’ll be lucky to get the 8th spot IMO.
How’s the 2024-2025 season going?

Do you have a kid on this team? Seems like you have an axe to grind with Mr. MM. Kid cut? Not offered a spot next year? There were 6 2010 games this weekend. I know some of this game yesterday and I wouldn't say they where "whooped". It was 1-0 at half and Surf scored off a corner in the last minute of the first half. Eventually a defense is going to take chances if their offense can not get it done and perhaps that was what was going on here? Formation changes in the second half? Maybe it was MM? Don't know. Lets review some stats on what I can find though. Since the break Surf had played 6 league games. They have scored 33 goals and given up 1 and that was by Koge. I would say this team is a bit dialed in at the moment. They beat Slammers 6-0 and some would say Slammers have been on a roll since the break as that was their only loss in league since the break. I understand that Pats yes have added some pieces since the break but they are obviously still missing something. Looking at the stats again its painfully obvious they need scoring. They have not scored in their last 3 league games and their showcase was more of the same. It is a bit of a head scratcher since the break as they ended the first half of league only loosing to Koge 1-0 in a very well played game (game is on veo live on Koges page for anyone to view). It does seem like they are in a collision course with a low playoff seed but if they do make it in and they do figure out their scoring issues I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of clubs out there hoping they do not draw them in their group. Seems like a good opportunity in being in the tryout window for some hungry offensive girls to come out and turn the team around. I wonder if some of those Slammers RL girls that have been tearing it up were out there?
2 games left for most teams. Here's how I project the end of season standings:

Looks like you have Pats tying sharks so if that’s the case they shouldn’t go. I have them winning that game and tying eagles and taking the head to head tie breaker for the 8th spot. Going to be a wild ride for all!!!
Honestly, if pats can get their midfield transition and final 3rd dialed in, I have them winning that game. I like the team and what their potential is. However, I’ve also heard good things about Legends SD #15 which gives them a punchers chance against pats.
Isn't this true for every team?
Kind of like saying "if we had just scored more goals we would have won."
That’s why I have them tying SD Legends
lol, no I don’t have a DD on the team. Just spewing my opinion from previous pattern and what I’m hearing from parents on the team. Ok, not “whooped” but I guess beating? You missed to mention the 5-1 “beating” by Beach just a couple of weeks ago. Pats are in such a bad form that team would want to play them lol.
well don't understand the need for hate but it is an open forum so spew away. Personally in being in the scene and being from OC I would like to see all the OC teams succeed. Outside of OC then no!!! There's 8 playoff spots and 4 OC ECNL Programs so they all need to go! I can say programs don't get built unless talent takes a chance on them.
I didn’t know that my disagreement of MM’s coaching style translated to hate (I don’t hate him). I think his coaching should be questioned, that’s all

Loving the deep data dives, keep it coming
Curious what you feel MM needs to do differently.I didn’t know that my disagreement of MM’s coaching style translated to hate (I don’t hate him). I think his coaching should be questioned, that’s all
From what I am hearing is that players are unhappy and checked out already? Maybe find out why? If you think he's doing a great job, good for you
.what's a MM? Asking for a friend
It's going to be Interesting to see how they finish up. Can they take care of Legends who has some Injured players not available? Unhappy players you can find almost at all clubs...
H.C for Pats
And an abbreviationGotta love answering an acronym question with another acronym.
Pats just added a D1 All CIF striker that was playing 09 RL and a winger from the top NPL team in the country this week. Hopefully it’s enough for them to get over the hump. A tie with Eastvale would poise them for playoffs for sure. Not sure when those 2 will start playing with the squad, no roster changes posted on the ECNL app yet.
Who is the top NPL team in the country?
