Chivatown Post: Reality Check Edition

It's time to do a reality check on the state of Chivas USA by looking at the big picture. With two games left to go Chivas are in danger of setting the second-worst record in the history of the franchise, if they only manage to win 6 games this season. Going into Salt Lake City, the prospects don't look good but if Chivas manage to somehow gain two wins, they'll still only tie their 2010 and 2011 records. That's not a plus if you graph their historic performance, it's a flatline. If they only manage to win 1 more game then they'll tie last year's record, and the graph will show a dip and a flatline.

Jorge Vergara states that reinforcements are needed at Chivas USA. In what areas are reinforcements needed? Who needs to go to make room for new players?

Chivas USA hit a low point in the franchise's history by losing by a scandalous 5-0 score to the others. Was it because of wrong coaching decisions that the game went the way it did?
