Matt, the Hounds have switched from their usual 4231 to 442 the last two matches against D.C. and Montreal. Is that due to Lebo Moloto missing, since he usually plays in the #10 role behind the striker in the 4231, or some other reason? And is that expected to continue against the Rhinos? 442 would be a safe formation to try to grab a point up there but it would not be likely to breach Rochester's impregnable defense.

I think you're right on in that reasoning...they have at least started the matches without Moloto in a more defensive formation. Although, they tend to stay aggressive in their habits regardless of formation. Will get the lineup in a moment.

Three cheers for sticking with Calle Brown. If someone wants to make the Hounds a part-time venture, he can spend that time on the bench.

A bit harsh on Ryan Thompson. When your national team calls you up, you go, simple as that. MLS players miss games for the World Cup and the Gold Cup as well, because neither MLS nor USL respect international breaks.
