Jim Curtin remains convinced that C.J. Sapong will snap out of what’s now an 11-game goal drought, but he can’t hide from the fact that it’s a problem.
“C.J. obviously wants to produce, he wants to score goals, you know that very well, and we do know that he’s capable of scoring goals,” Curtin said Tuesday morning before the Union flew to Chicago for Wednesday’s game against the Fire (8:30 p.m., PHL17). “We have half the season to get him going again, and that’s going to be a big key for us.”
Curtin believes Sapong’s problems are “fixable,” and in the short term.
