Manage episode 429290588 series 3473258
Season 2 episode 11 of Behind the Beard! In this episode, Coach Bobby and Mackenzie recap the last two matches against TFC and Pacific, highlighting Kwasi Poku's impact in the number 9 role and discussing expectations for Cavalry. Additionally, Coach Bobby reveals a pre-game ritual he performs at home games that never fails to make Mackenzie laugh.
Key Takeaways
- Coach Bobby believes they had several opportunities to secure a 3-0 victory against TFC, but have to settle for a 2-1 win after a suspicious foul & a few missed scoring opportunities.
- The second leg of the Canadian Championship semi-final won't be until late August.
- Apart from the first 10-15 minutes against Toronto FC, Malik excelled in the left-back position, filling in for Daniel Parra.
- The coaching staff employs various methods to communicate tactical adjustments during matches, including passing notes on the pitch.
- Every team needs a difference-maker, and for Forge FC, Kwasi Poku is currently that player, “oozing with confidence” and shooting without hesitation.
- The last time Forge played Cavalry, they lost 1-0. Coach Bobby prefers to forget that match and "burn the film." He emphasizes the need to maintain their current form and secure a win on Sunday to improve their position in the CPL standings.
