Smits, Jonke among the five players released by FC Edmonton 28 Oct 2015 On Wednesday, the team revealed the identity of those players who have been released; Canadian goalkeeper John Smits, Canadian striker Frank Jonke, defender Kareem Moses and midfielders Tomas Granitto and Thiago de Freitas.
Farago’s heroics, late equalizer mitigate poor season-ending effort from FCE 25 Oct 2015 After an 0-3-0 road trip that made the final game of the regular season about pride and not the playoffs, the Eddies responded to put together one of the worst 90-plus minutes that we’ve seen in franchise history. Make no mistake, if not for the heroics of keeper Tyson Farago, Jacksonville would have had a deserved three-goal lead before Roberts’s injury-time effort.
After Laing-less FCE loses to Carolina, Miller has harsh words for the Jamaica Football Federation 14 Oct 2015 “I have to say I am fairly disappointed in the Jamaican federation. Here is a player [Laing] who they take all the way to Korea for a friendly, but they know he’s suspended for the next four [World Cup qualifying] matches. And they know this will have a huge impact on his club. They have not shown any respect to the club at all. The Canadian association asked if Mallan would be available for the most recent camp [Tuesday friendly with Ghana] and they were very understanding when I said we needed him because it’s an important time for the club. Of course, that was before Mallan got injured. But it shows the difference in class between the two federations. I’m not saying Lance Laing is such a great player that we can’t play without him; no player is that good. But, the Jamaican federation needs to respect the spirit of the game.”
Miller on Eddies’ loss to Cosmos: “If we’re going to defend like that, we’re going to get what we deserve” 11 Oct 2015 The Eddies now trail the Tampa Bay Rowdies by one point for the fourth and final playoff spot in NASL. Both teams have three games left on their schedules. The Eddies are at Carolina Wednesday, then have a home-and-home with Jacksonville to end their season.
Cosmos rotate the squad, Eddies soar into fourth spot 27 Sep 2015 With the Cosmos already assured of a post-season spot because it won the spring-season title, the club prioritized resting players over putting out the best XI available. And that decision will be magnified because it influenced a game that was vital not only to the Eddies, but the other teams involved in the dogfight for fourth.
Watson scores, Eddies beat Rowdies, you can’t complain! 13 Sep 2015 “The more I see the goal [on the replay monitors], the more I like it,” Watson joked after the match. “And the more I think I’m wasted as a centre back.”
Giveaway after giveaway: Eddies offer up their worst performance of the NASL season 23 Aug 2015 The Eddies produced more turnovers than you’d find in a bakery. And, they really only created one scoring chance of note — and that came in the second half with the Eddies already down a goal. And, in true comedy-of-errors style, sub Hanson Boakai and winger Lance Laing got in each other’s way when the ball sat in the Fort Lauderdale penalty area and keeper Josh Ford down and out on the turf.
Eddies break losing streak, shut out Indy 5 Aug 2015 But it needs to be noted that the Eddies carved out more scoring chances on the day. And, even if those calls had evened out, the Eddies were still another goal to the good.
Defending a “calamity” as FCE gifts three goals to the Silverbacks 26 Jul 2015 “The defending was a calamity,” said FCE coach Colin Miller after the match. “We didn’t give ourselves a chance.”
Eddies come back twice to earn point in San Antonio 15 Jul 2015 "I'm absolutely delighted," said Miller after the game. "This stadium is one of the most difficult places to come in the league. They have so many quality players here [in San Antonio]. But the credit has to go to our guys, they just never gave up."
