“We are in a good spot… but the margin of error is slim” (BTB, S2E20)

Forge Audio Network

Behind the Beard Season 2, Episode 20! In this episode, Mackenzie and Coach Bobby discuss the team’s response to Forge’s 3-0 loss to the Halifax Wanderers, the recent signings of Victor Klondaritis and Orlendis Benitez, and what to expect from a Vancouver side that’s not at their best. To celebrate the 20th episode, they also look back on some of the top Behind the Beard moments.

Key Takeaways:

• Bobby and Louie B fondly recall the 2020 CPL bubble, likening each hotel to a "team cage."
• Reflecting on the Halifax loss, Bobby emphasizes that the team's focus and effort have been strong since their return, noting the 3-0 result didn’t reflect the true quality of the players or the group.
• Bobby acknowledges the team's ability to step up in crucial moments but admits they make things unnecessarily difficult when they have chances to gain separation in the standings.
• They discuss the impact Victor Klonaridis and Orlendis are expected to bring to the squad.
• Bobby points out that when facing Vancouver, form and goals are secondary, as they always bring a fierce and competitive edge against Forge.
