New: Sean Rea is playing his best football in a @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social shirt. Yet it still feels like his full potential hasn't been realized. On the eve of the playoffs, and with his contract running out, can he reach the next level for Halifax?

Ismaël Koné’s first goal for U.S. Sassuolo was a thing of beauty. But can the midfielder, who possesses so much talent, find the consistency his club and @canadasocceren.bsky.social hope from him?

My latest for @onesoccer.bsky.social.

After opening his Serie A account, can Ismaël Koné finally find consistency for club and country?

There's been a rivalry forming between @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social and York United going back to the off-season as Riley Ferrazzo and Massimo Ferrin traded their blue kits for green. Tomorrow, they'll battle for a chance to host a home playoff match.

My preview for canpl.ca.

As per @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social head coach Patrice Gheisar, Reshaun Walkes is injured and likely to miss tomorrow's match versus York United. Although not named specifically, it sounds like Tiago Coimbra and a few others are matchday decisions. Jason Bahamboula, of course, is out for the season.

New: Ballou Tabla was a difference maker as he scored a brace to propel Atlético Ottawa past Cavalry.

"I think that Ballou deserved this kind of performance. He's an amazing player, an amazing, amazing player for me and a player that needs to play at another level," Diego Mejía’s said post-match.

What a steal from Sam Salter to strip Laing and then dribble by Carducci to put ATO up 1-0. His 18th of the season.

Josh Healey @joshrjhealey.bsky.social · 11d

Lots of rotation as players like Vallerand, Frémaux, Miller and Allen are on the bench to start.

And on the club's road form:

“My target is to say, if our ambition is to reach the finals, we’re going to play the finals on the road. We need to start showing that we can win on the road.”

Josh Healey @joshrjhealey.bsky.social · 11d

I missed @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social head coach Patrice Gheisar's pre-match call yesterday but he pulled no punches discussing his expectations.

“I think last time we played Vancouver, we underestimated ‘em. We ended up losing at home,” he said. “We've got to get this. It's important."
