With just one match to play until its home opener on April 27, Forward Madison FC has one more chance to get its first result. Coming up against a winless Orlando City B this Friday (6:30 p.m. on ESPN+), the Flamingos may feel they have their best opportunity yet.
Life has been hard for the Flamingos in its first two games, having lost each one by a 1-0 margin. After falling to defeat last week to North Texas SC in the final seconds of stoppage time, Head Coach Daryl Shore said his team is ready to finish a game on a positive note.
"We are creating chances, we are getting shots on goal," Shore said on this Wednesday's episode of 'Let Me Be Forward.' "We've just got to do a better job with our final product and our finishing."
FMFC won't quite be at full strength for the match Friday, as center back Wyatt Omsberg has been recalled by Minnesota United due to the injury of Ike Opara. That being said, Forward Madison will be bolstered by the re-additions of three other Loon loanees (Carter Manley, Dayne St. Clair and Mason Toye), who missed the game against North Texas SC to attend the grand opening of Minnesota's Allianz Field.
In Orlando City B, the Flamingos will come up against a team that has not won a game in three attempts thus far in USL League One play, losing two and drawing one. Orlando leads the league in both yellow and red cards, and have made constant lineup changes, using a different goalkeeper in every game and retaining five starters throughout its three matches.
According to Shore, it's imperative that FMFC take advantage of Friday night's opportunity.
"We're just as displeased as anybody else is that we haven't scored a goal yet, that we haven't got a point yet," he said. "We need points. We need to come home with some points in our pocket."
Following its game against Orlando City B, Forward Madison will host its inaugural home opener on April 27 at Breese Stevens Field against Greenville Triumph SC.
