Real Salt Lake’s 2016 regular season campaign ended not with a bang, but a whimper — a whimper, that is, paired with a playoff entrance that, at one point, seemed inevitable and later became unlikely.
How loud was that whimper?
In the final seven matches, the team earned a shocking three points. It’s inexcusable, really. During that run, they had nearly every player available who was likely to play, save Aaron Maund, who suffered an unexpected broken toe.
The recent run of form is nothing sort of a bleak statement on everyone involved with the team from a playing perspective.
