The big issue right now is that we have too many players. We have 16 total now, but with Sachin and Milind alternating it still keeps us at 15. Ideally, we didn't want to exceed 14 players but with some people bringing new guys and with some of the older guys returning we have a few too many and too little playing time to share. Too many players also take too long to develop chemistry which we badly need.
A possible solution:
Some of the guys suggested that we have a weekly elimination process where we get the first 14 to report as finalized since there's always a guy or two unavailable guys each week. However, if there aren't and we don't have a specific process for reporting and when, how do we keep this fair? Ideally, I'd like everyone to play but realistically, there's only so much time and games. Other than people willing to opt out of the team, I don't know what else to do. There may be a team in our league that needs a few more players. If you want more playing time, it's worth pursuing. Any thoughts people?

Game 2 Preview & Postmortem
Preview:
We're playing the Rochester Mills Brewing Company. No Preview this time, sorry.
Postmortem:
We started off with a strong lead and went up 3 to 1, when we started to break down on defense with a lack of chemistry based on too many substitutes, too little aggressive play, and easing up. The opposing team tied it up and even went up a goal on us. Being down 4 - 3 with 6 minutes left in the game, Ryan forced in the tying goal. We were unable to score as time ran out and settled for a 4 - 4 tie, but we still know, this game was ours to win and it eluded us.

Game 1 Preview & Postmortem
Sorry guys for not providing this earlier. We ended up losing to RSC Partimers 3 - 0, but 2 of those goals were pretty badly handled by our temporary goalie. Needless to say, we could have won this game but our control of the ball and a lack of a strong midfield hurt us.
