Six, Salisbury doesn't worry in February... They didn't worry last year when Berry played played them to a 9-7 finish, just like the Gulls didn't worry when Montclair played SU to a 9-7 finish in the 3rd game of the "2017" season.
I'll admit, I am always quite amused by how sensitive the Gulls fans on this board are, given their history and frequency of immense success! But yes, that 9-7 scoreline was exactly what I was referring to--here's a sampling of some lines from the 2019 thread two games in to the season:
"2nd half looked like a team just holding on"
"[player name] you’re the quarterback, not the fullback."
"Shooting 17%; need to get ~35%. An non-shielded chest high 12 yard shot is a pass to the goalie and a Turnover. If Game Stats reflected this, it would quickly correct."
"Unforced turnovers, sloppy pacing, and inexcusable failed clears."
"Lack of flow on offense. A lot of dodging that didn't create with very little off-ball movement."
I will admit, when going back to review the thread, the overall tone was more positive than I had remembered. "Worrisome" may have been overstated. That said, you should not be happy if you're not blowing out Berry.
