After falling in their last home game of five in a row to Colorado there was some nervousness amongst the NYCFC fanbase, and it was justified. The team was pathetic on the road in 2023 and had a difficult schedule looming. Nick Cushing quipped after the Colorado loss, “We’ve won 10 points out of 15 from the home stand, let’s see where we are after the next 5 games because three are on the road.”
NYCFC would go on to take the next nine available points defeating Toronto last week and completing a sweep of cross-river rivals in Philadelphia on Wednesday and Red Bull on Saturday.
This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen dig into the changes Nick Cushing is making to move NYCFC up the table.
This episode is full of post-game audio from Saturday’s Hudson River Derby.

Some weeks the guys sit and wonder what they will talk about. After all the way NYCFC has been playing under Nick Cushing has not always been the most thrilling soccer. This week as the final minutes of the match in Toronto ticked down they knew this episode would be a little different, maybe a little easier to find the joy and comfort in podcasting. Then the final whistle blew and all the narratives immediately changed.
This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen unpack the melee, the accusations, the press conferences and all the news surrounding Saturday’s match.
In the second segment the guys welcome Cheyenne (@btwncleansheets) on the show to talk about her plans to travel the continent watching soccer and experiencing the world.

David Lee, Nick Cushing and company have made the conscious decision to fill the New York City FC roster with an abundance of young men. Young men that are still developing mentally, physically and emotionally.
On a team where the veteran players are 26 years old the only thing coaches can count on is inconsistency.
This week Mike Anderer and Mike Allen invite Andrew Leigh from Hudson River Blue on the show to discuss the unwatchable loss from Sunday as the Citizens hosted Colorado.
