After back-to-back losses to New York City FC and D.C. United, the Columbus Crew know that the team has its backs against the wall. Following the 4-1 defeat at the hands of NYCFC just over a week ago, head coach Caleb Porter talked about how his team was traditionally pretty good at bouncing back after a loss. When that did not come against D.C. on Wednesday night, and allowing four goals again in a 4-2 loss at home, it left fans wondering what was going on with the squad.
Losing the game to City seemed to come out of nowhere, but it was the first loss of its kind this season.
