Dean Smith: "Out of all the shots that have been against us in these last three away games not many have been big chances" Smith discusses some of the defensive issues Charlotte FC struggled with during their most recent road stretch. He highlighted that overall he didn't feel like they gave away too many big chances and while the number of shots have been up the concern was minimal and there are specific fundamentals they can clean up to right the ship for the final stretch.

Abdoulaye Doucouré saying he thinks 15-20 minutes of game time would be a good place to start this Wednesday against CF Montréal.

Abdoulaye Doucouré: "I feel like Major League Soccer is one of the biggest leagues now in the world" Doucouré speaks on his initial impressions of MLS and what he has seen in the league from his time in Europe. 👇👇👇

Key points from Abdoulaye Doucouré and Dean Smith pressers: Abdoulaye Doucouré said he is about 15-20 minutes fit for Wednesday against CF Montréal. Dean Smith said that defensively its not a structural issue so no need to change things system-wise. He feels they just need to be more clinical in give-n-go situations, clearances, and defensive situations like that. Smith said Westwood and Maxi are available. Sounds like Ream, Bronico, and Cleary are bigger question marks for Wednesday.

16 outfield players in training today. Small group for regen. No Brandt Bronico, Will Cleary, or Tim Ream.

Dean Smith mentioned that Ashley Westwood and Tim Ream are both dealing with sore Achilles at the moment. Smith said no he won't know more details until the team gets back from Portland.

Yeah 8 points clears any hope of 3rd (was pretty much wrapped after Revs won) Now 4 points off of 4th...not easy with 3 games left

Feel like there were a couple chances to ice the game too. Either Smalls' chance, or Coulibaly's counter that sputtered out

This whole road trip there was a lot of attacking volume against them.

Shocking finish in Portland. Charlotte FC lose at the death. Full-time thoughts?

90' + 5' - An absolute stunner. Portland with the last ditch corner kick goal for the lead. #ForTheCrown | #PORvCLT | 3-2

VAR confirms call!
