A road win over a top-shelf New York City FC squad, and then a road draw vs Cup-contending Los Angeles FC. That’s four points in two matches away from home. That’s a good haul, right? Well, it is during the beginning or middle of the season when much isn’t on the line. However, at the end of the season when you’re in eighth place and sitting six points from a playoff spot with just six matches remaining, it’s far less satisfying.
And that’s where the New England Revolution find themselves at they approach the end of summer.
