In the pages of this publication and others, New York Red Bulls right back Kyle Duncan gathered the most criticism of any player for the team’s collapse in the season opener against Sporting Kansas City. Duncan’s speed and skill on overlaps was again outweighed by his suspect positioning and defensive bite, with his loose marking of Daniel Salloi leading to the Kansas City winner in the 61st minute.
Many Red Bulls fans were excited by the sight of English fullback Tom Edwards, signed on loan from Stoke City in February, finally training at East Hanover.
