Okay, stick with me here. I know that Orlando City has only won once in the last 14 games, and by no means am I going to say in this article that the team is a good one. There is a difference between showing signs of growth and actual tangible improvement, and I’d just like to stress that before I go any further. Okay, here I go.
Compare the performances of recent weeks since James O’Connor took charge, to what we saw on opening night against D.C. United. A 1-1 draw yes, but a game in which Orlando did not play particularly good soccer for large stretches, most notably in the first half.
