Friday Mailbag & Open Thread: Bye Bye Birdie

Happy Doubleheader Friday! It’s time for this week’s mailbag! You can use the #AskHotTime hashtag on Twitter to ask us (and me) anything. Let’s get into it.

I think it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility. Something has to be done about that sieve of a defense. However, it has the possibility of backfiring. One more defender means one more head to communicate with, and communication is really their big problem. I’d probably stick with a back four, as that’s what they’ve been working towards all preseason and through their first two matches. I’d probably start Lillard over Dean, if both are available, as we haven’t seen him in a proper game, and I’d like to get a look.
