I thought they would have learned their lesson by now. I guess this group is the weakest ever . They refuse to give up roster spots to better players .

I thought OCB was set up to be next step up for the DA academy kids and sign? Why no signings out of the academy? Last year there were 4-5 kids that could have signed. All the other MLS teams have made news lately signing academy kids but crickets from oc. Sign some kids now!!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostGood old boys were on their way out till David made his smart move to NYRB. Well GB more than likely would have been retained, but I don't think the other would have. We have seen quite a few of the originals moved down to ECNL since the end of last season. one requested the move for playing time. OC is starting to open their eyes to the outside. 8 out of 18 0n the 15's never played OC till DA last year. So I see change

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLocal kids not playing in the DA are not necessarily the answer. We hear all the time that there are plenty of kids out there vying for the DA spots but very few pan out to be better than what is already in place. Change needs to happen in the approach and coaching. Some player turnover is necessary especially in the younger age groups but real coaches could develop the current stock of players much better then what is being done.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postthey are fine at teaching the younger kids. But the kids need to be handed to the pros at 12. But OC refuses to pay for those coaches. instead trying to run a DA with no director and only one real professional coach on staff. Sad for the only MLS Club in the state.
