We all knew that Year 1 under Coach Bobby would be tough given the issues handed to him from our previous coach. Year 2 will really be the 1st year for Coach Bobby at A&M and hopefully we can make some strides of improvement.

Disagree. Year 2 is Year 2. There were tons of bad decisions he made in year 1 and he doesn't get a pass for that. Trev needed to tell him to either accept the position in early November or find someone else. The portal should have been hit hard in November. He should not have run off some girls in the spring and he should have known the SEC transfer rules.

The fact is clear that our soccer program was in the gutter all due to Coach G's blunders. The blame lies with AD Alberts for not getting a new head soccer coach sooner than December 9th right after the 2025 women's soccer championships and knowing that Coach G was going to be gone. That has nothing to do with Bobby. Bobby probably made some decisions this season that could be better but being hired so late didn't help our cause and Year 2027 will tell us alot about Bobby's recruiting and management.

Gut wrenching way to end the season for all intents and purposes. Up 2-0 and 3-2, you have to find a way to win that match. LSU had dangerous counter attacks all game because we kept giving the ball away in the middle of the field. Unfortunately Diaz had some of those key turnovers that led to goals and then hand ball at the end that was completely unnecessary, you have to keep your arm down in the box when chasing a ball and a defender.

After praising Fuller on Thursday night, have to honest here and say she had a rough game. Out of position on a couple of those goals and really wasn't aggressive enough on balls coming into the box in her area. She needed to take more charge of the defense because the backline was pretty dreadful most of the match. I don't know what Bobby was doing defensively there in the last 20 minutes but it didn't work at all.

On the other hand, I thought the offense was effective and our crosses and long services into the box were top notch and resulted in multiple scoring chances. That third goal was a thing of beauty and probably the best goal of the season. They fought for that 2-0 lead and it should have held up if not for a lull of play in the middle of the match. We were unlucky on that non PK call, and if that was not called, then the hand ball on the other end shouldn't have been called. LSU seemed to get most of the big calls today go their way.

Hard to believe this team is sitting at 0-7-1 with two games left. The margin for winning is so small right now in the SEC, and we're simply too immature and inconsistent to hold a lead. I think we've lost 3 matches now after leading at some point. We've shown we can play with most of the teams in this league, but we don't know how to win yet, but quite frankly you can't be winless to this point in the season. This has been a demoralizing season for the fans and big changes are needed in the offseason. Should Bobby be provided some much needed NIL funds, the priorities are an elite GK, a few good defenders, a holding mid, and another solid striker. We do have some talented freshmen coming in as well, but we need experienced players that can win at this level first.

A&M soccer should never be at the bottom of the SEC and Bobby needs to get this figured out quickly in the offseason. Hopefully we can at least finish the season on a positive note by defeating a terrible Ole Miss team at home next week.

Agreed. Trev really screwed up the hiring process last year and if Bobby was his choice then he should have forced a decision much earlier than during the College Cup weekend. I do believe 2-3 coaches turned down the job so he kept having to start over, but that really put Bobby in a bad spot going into the offseason with a depleted roster and not much left in the critical early portal period. And as much as we all appreciate the good years under Coach G, he really left the program in complete disarray before he was forced into retirement.

It's critical that Bobby has a plan ready to execute the minute this season is officially over. He needs to attack that portal with urgency in the first week and have the tough conversations with some current players that shouldn't be playing at this level. As far as I'm concerned, everything going forward is on him starting in this offseason and 2027. The expectation next season should be an NCAA tournament appearance.

the 3rd goal was unacceptable effort - keeper makes save and no moves to clear - just ball watching like 5 year olds

the penalty was unjust l, but we put ourselves

2 games to go and it ain't over till the fat lady sings

Disappointing loss. Definitely seeing glimpses of the future, and if Bobby can keep most of the core team, add some depth to the GK spot and midfield, Ags should be looking good. I don't think they'll make the beach this year. Hoping 2027 looks up

This season has become the throwaway that many anticipated. Going winless in the SEC is humiliating for coaches and players alike. Literally, there is nowhere to go but up.

I think the last time we scored 3 goals and lost was in 2015 to Mississippi.

Totally agree. We are in an era that winning in year 1/2 should be the expectation at this level. You can revamp a whole roster within a month if done even half assed. I haven't kept up with soccer the last 4-5 years for reasons we all know. Hoping Bobby can give us some reasons for belief this offseason

I was so upset by the result of that last match. No silver linings or moral victories, but I felt we outplayed LSU for most of the match.

This defense is so frustrating. 3 goals should be enough to beat LSU.

And man, we've got a handball problem this season.

Just curious what everyone thinks are the problems with our defense this season? Is it personnel, defensive tactics, lack of possession by our mids, goal keepings, or a combination of multiple things? I took a look at our history of GA in SEC play the past few years (2026 is just thru 8 games and the others are full SEC regular season):

2026 - 20GA (thru just 8 games)
2025 - 14
2024 - 13
2023 - 13
2022 - 15
2021 - 15
2019 - 13
2018 - 13
2017 - 7
2016 - 13
2015 - 12

Seems like everyone was feeling pretty good about our defense after the shutout against highly rated South Carolina, but that is the only shutout of our SEC season so far.

-Youth at CB. I think his preferred pair is Sexton and Haras and they're both freshman. He clearly made a choice to have them learn by being thrown to the flame and hope it pays off in the next 3 years.
-GK situation changing and giving up a few howlers mixed in with giving up PK's.
-Rotating 2 players listed as forwards at RB so who knows how much they've actually played the position prior to this year.
-We're very poor on set pieces
-Went through long spells of games where the plan just seemed to be play long ball, which led to a lot of possession and chances for the other team.
