How’s It Going? Part 2 - An Assessment Of Louisville City’s 2022 Season-To-Date

Louisville City is now halfway through the USL regular season. A lot has happened since Part 1 and it’s time to take a step back and review how the season has panned out for Morados. To start, let’s review some of the topics of focus several weeks back in early May: Formation vs Style of Play Entering the season, it seemed like we could see a shift in the standard formation to one featuring a back three. As of this writing, that has yet to materialize. Its early usage had yet

Next Match – Louisville City vs Birmingham Legion – 07/02/2022

Louisville City’s win over Hartford Athletic gives them two straight wins coming off their bye week. Making it three straight could be a challenge, as the Birmingham Legion is next up. The Legion sits 5th in the East, only one point behind Detroit, and has been given a 91% chance by FiveThirtyEight to make the playoffs. They are unbeaten in their last five, with four straight wins. LouCity may have the head-to-head edge (4-2-2 all-time against BHM), however, this looks like i

The home win over Orange County set Louisville City up to begin the second half of the regular season on a positive note. “I know it’s easy to just look at those results and be concerned, but at the end of the day, I think my group trusts our process,” Coach Danny Cruz commented. “We were confident in spite of the results and confident we’ll continue to push forward and grow.” Next up for LouCity was a trip north to face Hartford Athletic. This struggling Eastern conference f

A home win coming off a bye week is exactly what was needed to shake a few sub-optimal results and get a winning streak going. But, one win isn’t a streak. Louisville City will be looking to secure all three points on the road against Hartford Athletic to make it two wins in a row. LouCity is a perfect 3-0 all-time against Hartford, with the last win in 2021 being an exciting 4-2 match (one that was heavily featured in the What Are Expected Goals (xG)? piece). Hartford curren

Match Recap – Louisville City vs Orange County SC – 06/18/2022

The past several matches hadn’t been too kind to Louisville City. The boys in purple lost three of four with the most recent being against Eastern Conference rivals, Tampa Bay Rowdies, where goalkeeper Kyle Morton was taken out of action in a scary collision. Sufficient it to say, a bye week was welcomed. “I think the week off was important, more importantly from a mental standpoint,” Coach Dany Cruz said. “The guys have been on a tough stretch. They needed some time, both me

It was a bit fortuitous that Louisville City would get a bye week after a disappointing match in St. Petersburg. An extra week for Coach Danny Cruz and the gang to work out some of the team’s opportunities. Thankfully for the squad, the next match is a home fixture. It will be against the defending champs, Orange County SC. A first-time meeting between these clubs. Orange County’s title defense hasn’t been going as they may have hoped. In fact, it’s been terrible. They are (a

After a few matches below expectations, the Tulsa match was a palette cleanser, hopefully signifying a return to form. It would, however, be a tough ask, as Louisville City’s next match was set to be a big one. The return to Tampa (technically, St Petersburg) to take on the Rowdies. The hosts were operating on short rest, so that was in City’s favor, but Tampa did end up getting an extra day (the trip from Tulsa to St Petersburg must have been longer than I thought). While th

After a few bumps in the road ending their unbeaten streak, Louisville City got a needed win against Tulsa. However, the team will have to move on quickly as their next opponent will require as much prep time as possible. It’s the long-awaited Tampa Bay Rowdies matchup. LouCity will be heading to St. Petersburg for a shot to redeem themselves for the painful 2021 playoff exit. The St. Pete Rowdies may only be sitting in 6th in the Eastern Conference, however, they are still v
