Here the big question that may define the rest of our season, does Iloski keep starting even when Indy come back from injury?

Feels like a no-brainer to me, but we know Indy came here because of Carnell.

I think the real odd man out is Damiani.

His first minutes for us have been FANTASTIC! The dude looks like he's been on our side all season.

He keeps starting but we need the depth. I expect them all to rotate. We’ve had to rely a bit more on Bedoya than I’d like to see, need to preserve our old man’s legs.

Indy gets a weirdly bad rep. Hes perfect for what he does, industrious, high tempo, forward thinking attacker. Iloski is more talented but Indy fits our system perfectly.

Agreed. I wouldn't compare Iloski to Indy though. I feel like Iloski is the direct replacement for Gazdag and Indy is something entirely new in the team. Although, I just can't see Gazdag doing what Iloski is doing in the clip. It's becoming more and more obvious why Gazdag had to go and why McGlynn wasn't a good fit in the system.

Iloski is a forward, so yes.

It's nice to have some depth there with Lukic as well

While watching the game I was thinking he brings something we haven't had since Ilsinho. Iloskinho?

What’s really insane is that after Iloski gets through the Chicago players, he passes the ball to Wagner. Then he motions to Wagner telling him to pass him back the ball. After Iloski does this, he is wide open. He would’ve scored and it would’ve been ISNANE

Genuine question: Can we call Fire players “Firemen” from now on? Asking for a friend
