Bay FC Recap: Early Punch and High Press Broken3:21 – 5:15

A

AlexHost

3:21

Um-

H

3:22

I think a lot of people predicted a win.

A

AlexHost

3:25

Yeah.

A

AlexHost

3:25

And it, it feels the past season or so like we've been like very streaky.

A

AlexHost

3:31

We'll get a handful of wins in a row and then a couple of losses where it's like, damn, we really could have had that.

H

3:37

Yeah.

H

3:37

It's the losses where it was like so within reach and the losses where it should've been a, a win is the ones obviously that are gonna hurt more.

A

AlexHost

3:48

Yeah.

A

AlexHost

3:48

Espe- I do think, [laughs] and this is another weird thing about being a fan, in a lot of ways it's mentally a lot easier when you go into a game and you're like, "Yeah, we're probably gonna lose."

H

4:00

Yeah.

A

AlexHost

4:01

Um, because then it feels, it feels so much better to win, and if you lose it's just expected.

A

AlexHost

4:06

But this one it's like, damn, like we could'a had that.

A

AlexHost

4:10

We had opportunities and then-

H

4:11

And we had a f- pretty much a full game to turn things around.

A

AlexHost

4:15

And I've got stats on our opportunities later.

H

4:18

Ooh.

A

AlexHost

4:18

Ooh, exciting.

A

AlexHost

4:20

But just based on feel, yeah, we went down early.

A

AlexHost

4:25

Here's a, a quick not quite stat, but a, a fact for you, is that we've given up the first goal in our last three matches.

H

4:32

Mm.

A

AlexHost

4:33

And in all of those three matches we, we've put ourselves in a hole and had to dig our way out.

A

AlexHost

4:38

One of them we were able to do in the, in the Denver game.

H

4:41

Which was the first time that we ever-

A

AlexHost

4:42

[laughs]

H

4:43

... came back from a deficit at half, so which is-
