After loss to Atlanta, Eddies still have no NASL points at home 25 May 2014 But, thanks to the brilliance of Ghanaian Kwadwo Poku, some very poor FCE defensive errors and some chances that the Eddies left begging, it was the Silverbacks who ensured that NASL opposition remains perfect at Clarke Stadium this season.
Miller: FCE “in the driver’s seat” after first-leg draw in Ottawa 24 Apr 2014 In a game that had very few decent chances, FCE had a wonderful chance to steal the game at the death. Striker Frank Jonke got the ball in the middle of the box after Horace James was able to slide and make a pass after recovering his own blocked shot. But Ottawa keeper Devala Gorrick was able to make a sliding stop.
Despite late equalizer, FCE should feel frustrated with draw in Tampa 13 Apr 2014 The Eddies created more scoring chances, and were the better side based on style points. But a missed penalty and another effort that caromed off the post punctuated a night of missed opportunities.
Miller pleased as FCE’s offence clicks in preseason friendlies 23 Mar 2014 “I think the number of chances we’ve been able to create has been excellent,” Miller said after the SFU match, a 3-1 win for the Eddies. “We really could have had a couple more tonight. But I’ve been really pleased with the style of football we are playing. In fact, there were times I thought we were guilty of overplaying. Some of the chances they created were more a product of us giving the ball away in poor areas.”

Horace James signs deal with the Eddies 14 Mar 2014 Horace James scored against FC Edmonton last season. Now, the former Atlanta Silverback hopes to score a lot of goals for FC Edmonton in 2014.
Atlanta’s loss could be FC Edmonton’s gain 26 Feb 2014 “There were a lot of things going on in Atlanta. And the team wasn’t making decisions on a lot of the guys. And some of the guys opted for a change of scenery. That’s part of professional football. But they fired Brian Haynes, who won coach of the year, and it gave the impression that things were not very stable.”
Horace James joins Eddies on trial; Ongaro given another week to prove himself 24 Feb 2014 Coach Colin Miller said trialists are being brought in little by little, as he wants to avoid a “gong show” where all of the hopefuls are on the field at once, which hurts the team’s ability to estimate their worth.
