It's good that @bhmlegion worked its way back into the game but the errors are an uncomfortable reminder of the problems plaguing the team all year. They also drop to 11th in the East, better only than the expansion teams.

So...the post mortem begins.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

Two horrific errors by @bhmlegion changes this game tremendously.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

Not a bad half from @bhmlegion but only 2 shots and 1 on target isn't getting the job done. Both sides are playing very close man marking so good chances are going to be scarce.

Diarbian on the bench is a bit of a surprise. Otherwise a solid starting XI.

[Birmingham Legion FC @bhmlegion]

One last battle⚔️

The @USLChampionship regular season ends tomorrow; we look at everything that's at stake for @bhmlegion and every other team. And @bcfc in England are doing well too. https://t.co/CCkbofyF3T

Well, it was ugly but a win is a win.

Maimonides Park: where you can high press and low press at the same time.

@bhmlegion is largely controlling this game but clearly struggling with the abominable field. You almost want a red card to open the game up.

Bofo: you won't give me a PK? Fine, I'll get an assist instead.

5 changes to the starting XI from Sunday.

[Birmingham Legion FC @bhmlegion]

We’re ready⚔️

As part of the home finale Sunday
@bhmlegion gave a sneak peek at some of next year's promotions. One of those is Star Wars Night.

That seems appropriate. Can't deny that we need a new hope.

We take a close look at the 2 @bhmlegion games last week: what went right and what could have been better. https://t.co/ssRLKvTshh

Not getting the win in the home finale is disappointing. Still, a very solid display.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

A dominant half from @bhmlegion. Need to convert chances on the second and not let the momentum drop off.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

Same starting XI as Wednesday. Still no Diop and apparently AJ is good to go.

[Birmingham Legion FC @bhmlegion]

Today's XI

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

We preview Week 33 for @bhmlegion and @USLChampionship as well as @bcfc. https://t.co/KYbgdwokje

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

Second half wasn't nearly as strong on attack but a solid defensive showing. On to Sunday and Loudoun, who are losing right now in Rhode Island.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

@KaylorHodges Totally dominant.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

Solid 45 from @bhmlegion. Can't complain about 7 of 8 shots on target. Damus may have been denied a PK. Three Sparks are smelling blood.
