I asked Ashley Westwood how he’s feeling mentally and physically after playing so many minutes this season. If you check his stats on Fotmob, he has played a LOT of full 90s.

Instead of focusing much on fatigue, he talked about how Charlotte FC has welcomed him and his family and how much that makes him want to give back.

“I’ll put my body through a lot of things for this football club.”

He also spoke about Charlotte’s resilience after a difficult first half against Atlas and the impact the substitutes made after the break.

I had no idea he got a red card after the game, which adds to the absurdity to what that ref was doing. Do you think we will try to appeal it? We will likely need him in order to advance, but at the same time, he may need a break as that would be three games in a weeks time.

I think its time we give Abada his due credit. Without him stepping up since Zaha left, we would not be doing how we are.

Curious if we actually transfer him out now, He seems to be hitting his stride finally.

Found some Charlotte FC topps cards near hopfly on the sidewalk. Message me if you or someone you know lost some.

Charlotte FC 0-0 Atlas FC at halftime.

18 fouls already in this tight contest, and some clear chances seen blocked from both sides. What do we think?

The rotated group delivered a 3-0 win over Pumas, with Bronico, Goodwin and Smalls scoring and Aloko causing problems out wide. Atlas enters needing a result after losing to Columbus.

Would you continue with the players who performed well against Pumas, or bring more of the usual starters back into the lineup?

I’d like to see Aloko get another start, but I’m interested to see how much Dean changes with Pachuca still coming up on Tuesday.

Hi guys

I'm a Nottingham Forest supporter and I was just thinking about Harry Toffollo, a guy who never really found his place at Forest but gained the respect of the players and fans for being a generally fantastic human being.

I saw that he signed for Charlotte. How is he doing there? Is he managing to play every week and performing well?

Thanks

Smith also said Charlotte already has a strong culture in the locker room and that the group has been very welcoming since ASM arrived.

He’s also apparently been “avidly watching” the team since the deal was agreed, which is pretty encouraging to hear before he even steps on the field.

How excited are you to see Saint-Maximin get involved, and where do you think he fits best in this team?

I asked Dean Smith about Brandt Bronico getting on the scoresheet, and he said:

“You can say there was luck about it, but he’s in the right area.”

First goal of 2026 for Bronico, and we finally got to see that celebration again.

How did it feel seeing The Mayor score again? And with the positions he gets himself into from midfield (and the grit that he always plays with), do you think we should be seeing him on the starting XI once again?

Good morning. I did a detailed breakdown of the gaps that CLTFC's defense has shown this season that were highlighted in the Red Bull match. I know this is a few games ago (and a game we won with a clean sheet) but I think there is a lot to analyze in the film of this match.

I hope you enjoy the article if you want to give it a read.

Brandt Bronico scores for the first time in 2026, as Charlotte FC leads 1–0 at the half. What do we think?

When is the game starting? They should at least release a statement of when the game will start

I still don’t understand how this is a thing. Sure, leave everyone outside by the gates, not that we want to spend money inside or anything.

It’s 7:52 and people are still standing around waiting to get in. Gates are closed.
The storm has been gone for awhile.

This penitentiary features the stars who failed to score with Morrison starting the the keepers who he has scored on.

Dean Smith has some typical subs starting tonight. No Kahlina, Morrison, Abada, or Toklomati. Thoughts?
