FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The sense of urgency within New England Revolution camp has been steadily building in recent weeks as the Revs have stumbled through a seven-game winless run, and now with just 10 games remaining on the regular season schedule, that urgency has reached a new peak.
Comfortably in fifth place as recently as mid-July the Revs (29 pts.) now find themselves four points below the playoff line in the East, and while they have two games in hand on the sixth-place Montreal Impact (33 pts.), they also need to worry about D.C. United (27 pts.) creeping up the table from behind.
