Brad Knighton (GK) Handed Start, Only Second Of Season, For The Union

Knighton receives his second start in a league match this season. Williams receives his first-ever Union start. #MLS #DOOP

Per @Union2010, the Union’s official Twitter account.

Was Piotr Nowak reading my work? I called out Nowak for having too much faith in Seitz in my answers to Guillermo Rivera in our Three-for-Three question exchange preview. I also pleaded for him to start Knighton:

His biggest weakness is his faith in Chris Seitz, the current starting goalkeeper for the Union. It’s nearing October and Seitz remains the starting ’keeper for the Union, even though his indecisive and lacking play has cost the Union plenty of points over the course of this season. Nowak needs to let Brad Knighton take his turn as starter.
