Rapids Nation has spoken. Those who bleed burgundy hereby decree:

  • Smith (despite his pooch) is the #1 choice, with over 80% of the vote
  • Ballouchy is no longer in the top 5 midfielders
  • Only 20% of respondents thing midfield is the right position for Cummings
  • Wells Thompson is about as popular as Congress right now

  • Are you surprised Smith was the strong #1?
  • Lopez is working his way into the hearts of fans, will he finally get a start?
  • Despite the unpopularity of the position, will Smith still start Cummings at winger?

    Here were some of the explanations from voters for their picks:

    - Best we've got till Colin gets his swagger back, or we add to the roster
    Larentowicz needs to be benched for the last game. As with Danny for Toronto.

    - Mastroeni as single def sweeping mid. Medhi and Piojo behind Connor. Omar and Smith out on the wings.

    - Cummings should probably stay forward assuming 2 forwards. Larentowicz as Defensive midfielder in the 4 since he IS an all star, Ballouchy as the offensive. I think Smith is underrated and Pablo is obviously the captain. Claudio would be starting for me, but he's getting old and will probably be a late sub for most of the season.

    - Rest Jeff for All star tie, give Lopez a chance to shine with Clark on the wings, put Pablo and Ballouchy together to hold possession.

    This makes my head hurt. Clark was godawful last game, he's not worthy of getting the start.

    Clark was not great…you are right…but we need him badly to return
    to last season's form, and playing time is the only way that's going
    to happen.
