Ottawa Fury FC News Release
OTTAWA, ON - After a tough start to the NASL Fall Season, patience appears to being paying off for Fury FC. The club commitment to their style of play, coupled with some key additions as seen Paul Dalglish's side earn a pair of decisive 2-0 victories - their most recent win coming Wednesday night at TD Place over Carolina.
Fury FC now look take aim at a third straight win Saturday night when they clash against former England International Joe Cole and former Fury FC striker Tom Heinemann and the Tampa Bay Rowdies. Saturday's fixture will mark the third game over the past seven days for both clubs with the Rowdies coming into town following a 2-2 draw Saturday at home against the Cosmos and a 1-0 loss Wednesday night in Oklahoma against the Fall Season leading Rayo OKC.
For weeks, head coach Paul Dalglish has been preaching patience and that his team needed just a bit of good fortune to get them on the right track. His side hasn't conceded a goal in over 188 minutes and have potted a pair of goals in each of the past two games - statistics that Dalglish chalks up to his players consistency.
"We've been building and we're very close to the consistence performances that we showed in the last two games so I'm very pleased. Learning each other's tendencies can sometimes take time and I think on both sides of the ball we are looking much better now."
Romuald Peiser displayed another strong performance on Wednesday collecting his fourth shutout of the season and his 21st overall which now puts him third place on the NASL all-time shutout list, behind Jimmy Maurer (31) and Matt Van Oekel (25). The Frenchman feels like Fury FC have found a formation that suits them better.
"In our last three games we conceded only three goals and didn't give the opponents a lot of scoring chances. We take less risks in the back, we are very poised with the ball and at the same time we do things well offensively. Also, taking the lead early in the game makes a huge difference."
Fury FC will be back on the road next week-end for a clash with Indy Eleven at Michael A. Carroll Stadium on Saturday August 6, before coming back to TD Place the following week to host Jackonsville Armada FC .
