With the defense limiting goals like they are doing, that will always give you a shot to get a result, and so a top four finish doesn't seem so far out there. You have to win your home games, though, and wins require a little offense, and that needs to pick up, which I think it will. I'll be surprised if the team doesn't come out with a little extra pep in their step due to the extra rest. The month of May seemed like every team just kinda was in survival mode.
The team deserves a lot of praise for weathering a tough part of the season and being in a good position. There is still a lot of soccer to be played and many twists to the season to come. Without the congestion, it will be interesting to see if there is as much rotation as there was during the month of May. I think rotation was necessary, but at some point it hinders chemistry that could be developed with a more set 11.
FYI- We only have one DP currently, Jonathan Rodriguez (Mora, who was only kinda sorta a DP got bought down and Evander Left) . . . so even if we have 4 U-22's currently, we can still get one more DP, right?
Oh, you're right. The roster on the website is not updated. Yes, buying down Rodriguez seems logical since he has missed half the season already, then we can get somebody new to put up some serious numbers.
Systemic doesn’t necessarily mean talent. Systemic is Neville.

I do believe Da Costa is a DP! So either he or Jona would need to be moved off of that designation, or one of U-22's, to sign another DP
