The Ottawa Fury FC’S 10-match Spring season reads as a reversal of sorts by head coach Marc Dos Santos, in that since the club’s inception he had been preaching the gospel of exciting, attacking football. Fans were told ad nauseam to expect the club to assemble players who had bought into the head coach’s philosophy, and who would be competitive in the NASL.
After reaping 27 points from 28 matches in 2014, pragmatism appears to have been the modus operandi of the coaching staff for 2015. A slew of defenders were signed in the offseason to replace a porous back line.
