Eleven observations on the Union in the midst of their four-game unbeaten streak:
• Jim Curtin is right to ask out loud whether he has a good team. But the standings still offer an answer that isn’t the one he’d like. The Union remained in seventh place in the East after Wednesday’s 3-1 win over Chicago. Get into the top six, which are the playoff places, and the answer will start to change. That might not be polite, but call it a hunch that Curtin knows, too.
• The big jump might not come Saturday night when the Union visit Atlanta United.
