Crew will not get frustrated by lack of goals; believe the floodgates will open

Frustration is mounting for those that watch Columbus Crew SC every week. Despite a positive 4-2-1 start to the season and the team sitting near the top of Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference, Black & Gold fans are seeing a lot of similarities to last year’s team offensively, and that means the ball isn’t finding the back of the net with regularity.

In 2018, the Crew made the playoffs as the fifth seed in the East but scored just 43 goals in 34 games. That was by far the lowest statistical offensive production of any team taking part in the postseason and was tied for second-worst in MLS.
