Lethargy in Loudon

In full transparency, I was only able to watch the first and last 15 minutes of this match so you should probably skip this section and head to the content below. HOWEVER, that won’t stop me from drawing conclusions (including the subject line of this email) and getting some takes off.

It was certainly frustrating to see what looked like a strong stat profile from RIFC in the first half go to waste. Less possession, more chances created and no chances for the opponent has been the recipe for success for Rhode Island. This was also important as Loudon is very much a second half team. As RIFC heads to the business end of the season, the team need to be ruthless in these inter-playoff matches.

While we knew this was going to be a tough one as evidenced in our conversation on The Away End last week, it seems like Loudon was there to be had. We’re at the juncture of this season where points are at a premium, as evidenced by what happened in the rest of the East this weekend. Just win, baby, win.
