Charlotte FC finally returned home Saturday to play Orlando City at the Bank. A game that started with so much promise and a two-goal lead ended with a defensive collapse and only a point for the Crown.

Matt, David and Corey return this week to discuss:

• The problems at right back.
• Bill Tuiloma's strong performance.
• The ... interesting ... substitutions.
• The roster decisions that got us to this place.
• And we answer some listener questions.

Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Charlotte FC wrapped up its brutal five-game road trip with two equally brutal performances against Sporting KC and Chicago Fire. Matt, David and Corey are back this week to talk about those two matches, what's gone wrong over the past 10 games, and where the team goes from here.

After a week off, Charlotte FC heads up to Philadelphia to take on top-of-the-East Union Saturday. Which means its time to bring on great friend of the show and Union beat reporter José Nuñez!

José joined David and a late-arriving Corey to discuss:

• The Union's performance so far.
• His perspective on Charlotte's season from the outside.
• Why he didn't like the Zaha signing.
• His feelings on the Club World Cup.
• And what Charlotte needs to do to grab three points Saturday.

You can find José on Twitter @JoserNunez91, read his Substack here – nunezj.substack.com – and find his writing on mlssoccer.com. He's a must-follow for any MLS fan.
