The 2015 Real Salt Lake season was dreary at best. The Claret-and-Cobalt finished ninth in the Western Conference – missing out on the MLS postseason for the first time in eight years – and scored only 38 goals – second worst in the league, above the Colorado Rapids. After losing a great deal of veteran experience through drafts or ill-crafted (in my humble opinion) trades, the seemingly great youngster that were brought in to build the club flopped.
Not only did names like Elias Vasquez and Pecka disappear into the summer stretch, but talent like Luis Silva never really found a foothold in the club.
