SANFORD, Fla. — Orlando City coach James O’Connor isn’t taking much solace from the team’s “close” performances anymore.
The Lions are back in Orlando after playing back-to-back road matches. Both of those matches – a 1-0 loss to Atlanta United and a 2-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders – were matches where O’Connor felt the team played well enough to come away with points.
“The best way of trying to describe it, maybe, to people who aren’t involved is it would be the equivalent of coming in and working really hard for three weeks and then getting maybe 30% of your pay packet,” O’Connor said.
