Since last we met, North Texas SC lost 3-2 in South Florida to expansion side Ft. Lauderdale and then drew Union Omaha 2-2 at home midweek. If the club’s odds to make the championship game were long prior to those games, they’re astronomical now. Firmly in the bottom half of the table in points-per-game, they will need to win something like seven or eight of the final ten games of the season to advance. Barring such a run of form, we’ll focus less on “table talk”, instead examining the team through the lens of player development and (as below) tactics.
