WEEKEND WRAP: 3-10: Friday, Saturday & Sunday - A Not So Good Weekend!

Not much to get excited about this weekend (IMHO) good to see Josh Perez get another goal, Rubio Rubin score his first in Denmark, and of course Bobby Wood's game winner for Hamburg. Other than those few instances our guys were not on the form of last week, for sure. It just feels that the 'unused sub' delineation was over used this weekend, and shortened playing time really were the main points of our players. We had 2 red carded players Ryan Malone in Germany and John Neeskens in Spain - oh blah! No Shut-outs this weekend, but Tim Murray played well in Finland helping Honka through to the quarter finals of Suomen Cup, and Danny Rogers almost got the clean sheet for Falkirk.......enough, to the list

Short version   

GOALS
Joshua Perez - Italy
Masami Okada - Germany
Rubio Rubin - Denmark
Charlie Rugg - Germany
Bobby Wood - Germany
Will Daniels - Iceland

ASSISTS
Matt Miazga - Netherlands
