Three things:
- I couldn’t feel worse for John Bradford, these players, and the NCFC fans
- This was always on the radar once the Courage sale fell through
- Bad optics for a legacy club that just jumped back to USLC to say “we don’t think it’s financially worthwhile to stick until pro-rel + D1”

@mongoals.bsky.social I was planning on getting a Hounds related tattoo after the 2019 season (if they had won the whole thing). Still waiting on that to happen…

You're always going to get defensive effort and work rate from Boone, but the question is whether he can (1) actually stay fit and (2) finish consistently.
When he last did those things in 2022, he was *really* good. That said...he's kinda extraneous for this roster?

@mongoals.bsky.social you guys should really fact check things before you just make assumptions. Mertz was clearly holding his knee and asking the ref for time it was clearly injury related and not time wasting related.

Random question: if you were in the latter stages of your career as a player and you were leaving a premier league team, what would be your dream team/league to play for?
