in regards to how new teams are fairing in div 1....since the gunners don't count i think we are the only team to get point(s) from div 1 teams...stolo n sentinel tied each other...not saying we're better but those are the facts...aldergrove is having a hard time keeping the balls out of the net and abby seem to be having a hard time putting them in.....

So you're happy with 1 point out of 9?

ffs... 
You can put lipstick on a pig, but a pig is still a pig.

No kidding. Gold star. A for effort, F for result.
Athletics took a hum-ping in their season opener Saturday at the hands of the Waderbacks. Wade w/ 3. The LUFC Athletics are much younger...oldest guy is 25. They got themselves a bit of a rude awakening. They still contend Wade sucks, is nothing special. I always laugh at this...I guess the guy sucks about 20 times a year on a regular basis.
All told, I understand there were some flashes, but serious deffensive shortcomings. They had Rob Keam- back from a business trip- out last night, working on shape, communicating, etc.
A couple of vets will likely help out on Saturday for a few minutes here and there. I hope to get in 20 or so, if the kids will have a broken, cranky old Dude around.
Keep an eye on these kids.

There is your proof of having 1 team come straight from div 3 (Sentinel) and 2 teams from mid pack D2 (Stolo and Coyotes) in Div 1 in a division where there is 2 byes a week.
Now look at Div 2 where there is a huge talent and togetherness gap between the top Div 2 teams... Do you honestly think Sentinel would make it out of a division with Us Nomads, ACBC, and Guildford United (Who honestly hasn't played anyone of note yet), or in 2A with the top teams there?, or even 2C With this years version of Sentinel, the hypsters and LUFC Young Guns and Athletica!?
Maybe, but nothing would have been a mortal lock.
Div 1 is worse for it by not just culling teams and only promoting the bare minimum based on the FVSL Constitution...
aside from the Athletics who seem to have only played one game (diabolical) the bottom teams are all the new teams to the division save the Pomo Gunners...

THis is an old debate....10 teams yada yada
As for those coming up, never a surprise. Sentinel will come around, they just haven't figured out that their prior success will not help in div 1. Of the teams that moved up, they will be the best of them.....give them time. As for the others, I haven't seen them so I cannot comment.

Look, Sentinel is, from all accounts, the same team from last year plus Brent Wantke and Kudzai Zimbiti from LUFC Dynamo. Kudzai is going to be average on their team, but Brent is a pretty good player and was a big factor in the Dynamo mid to late season success last year... But the same team from Sentinel last year plus basically Brent is not good enough.
I'm not sure they will come around, i figured the might surprise a few teams with their long ball up the wing to klewis thing and then teams would wise up to it... I'm not sure they are going to "come around"
As far as the others, they are a blight on the division

You think?!
But they do have Wantke, who can make guys miss, so maybe they are multi-dimensional now that they have two methods of attack

Is he still at UCFV right now? That is where he was right?
We played Sentinel last weekend and from what they brought to the pitch I will bet they will finish the season mid-pack. They have a few guys that can play, but there work ethic is next to none. Once they learn to tighten the backline they will steal points from "the better teams". On a secondary note, after the first couple of week what are the predictions for the top 4 finishers, given they may be playing prem next year.
I'll start it out
Rangers
North delta
Strikers
PAU

Wow, a top 4 mention? I would LOVE that. If we can play consistent I can see it, and I think we will
My top 5 (in no particular order):PoMo Gunners
SFC Rangers

All you guys need to simmer down and stop getting your panties wet. It is 3 games into the season - and yes.. we should have 6 points out of 9.. but that is not the case and instead we have a huge 1 point. All because we can't finish.. yes we have some work to do as far as working better as a team, but it will come.. we have no practice field, and since it gets dark so fast now, we can't practice.. so if some team has a half field or something and is willing to help us out and give us some of there field, we will gladly pay for it. We haven't been as active as most of these other teams, but that's our fault, we got kicked out of summer league early on, so we haven't really kept in game form, plus a few injuries aren't exactly helping us right now.
Here's to hoping things turn around!
P.S.
JBN, stop drinking that damn hatorade, its not good for you. & Stallion, what position do you play?

So easy to wind up
Did you call who I suggested for a field time? As for position, I'm not quite sure to be honest. So far I've been a central midfielder this year, never played it before but seems to be going alright 
Rangers ... (are there any other teams?

klewis,
Your Sentinel team has some solid potential but needs a bit of direction / coaching. Your sweeper and left mid are definitely your strengths.
If you guys work on tactics and leave the hacking alone, you will do well against most of the division. I predict you will have trouble against the "old guard" - Rangers, NDFC, Dewdney ... maybe Athletics if hacker-Dude permits etc.
