Union coach Jim Curtin is attempting to restrain his enthusiasm about 20-year-old midfielder Derrick Jones, but he's having a hard time.
In the Union's first two games, both draws, Jones has been a standout. The first game he was sound and the second, Saturday's 2-2 home-opening draw with Toronto FC, Jones was more aggressive offensively while not abandoning his defensive duties.
"It is two great performances to build on and he has to put a whole season together and that is the challenge," Curtin said. "We don't want too much, too soon and [always] talking about him.
