Supporter’s XI: New York Red Bulls
Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports Another match, another chance for the Columbus Crew to get back on the winning train. After four tough losses, the Black & Gold will travel to New Jersey to take on the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday evening.
The same themes have pervaded the last several matches: the lack of depth, defensive lapses, missed offensive opportunities and some downright uninspired play. The depth issue will not improve markedly with several key players still out for an extended time, but the Crew will need to sew up the leaks in the back and take more advantage of offensive opportunities if they are going to stay in the playoff conversation.
