Two weeks to go …
Here is a little update about our preseason. We haven’t had any more exhibition matches since our 2:0 loss against Crystal Palace Baltimore two weeks ago. We are continuing to practice three times a week indoor at SCOR … and I am pretty happy about this with all the rain coming down.
Joey Worthen is finally back in town and will be at tomorrow’s practice for the first time since he left us after the 2005 season. He played two years (2004-2005) for the Richmond Kickers, scored 7 goals despite being sidelined with an injury for most of the 2005 season. When I started for the Kickers in 2005, I was signed as a left Midfielder. Joey was the other left midfielder on the team back then and he helped me a lot understanding the system that we played and how to play the wide midfield position. Now, I am excited that he is back and maybe we will be playing together on the left side in one of the games … me as a defender and Joey as a midfielder.
The numbers were a little lower on Mondays practice with some players and the coach being hit by a virus. Better now though than after the season has started!
Joseph has not been at indoor practice recently, but Fakundo and Noel are still participating.
In the next couple of weeks more and more players should be coming back to Richmond. David Bulow is expected to be back by the 24th of March. He will be sharing the same apartment with me that we shared during our 2006 Championship season … now that’s a good sign

You’ve mentioned a “Joseph” a couple times lately but haven’t given us a last name. Or perhaps you have but haven’t given a first one. Or a couple of us have just missed the full name. Which knowing me and that other person is quite probable too. If you are allowed to say/confirm I’m guessing you have been referring to Joseph Lyonnais from VCU? Thanks and I love the blog

His last name is Amoah. He is a very good friend of Kofi and has played in Cyprus/Greece the last couple of years. Glad you like the blog!
