Is the Crew's attack finally clicking at the right time? Or is it too little too late?

The Columbus Crew’s trip to Orlando ended in a frustrating 3-2 defeat, leaving plenty of questions for the Black & Gold.

Matt and Gabe break down the Crew’s disastrous start, Taha Habroune’s equalizer, and the attacking moments that showed what this team can do. But defensive mistakes and questions surrounding Patrick Schulte’s performance ultimately overshadowed the positives.

THREE STRAIGHT WINS.

Remember when the season felt completely lost?

Matt, Gabe, Sam, and Brian are finally getting to enjoy some good vibes as the Columbus Crew defeat Inter Miami 2-1 to make it three straight wins in all competitions.

After beating Orlando City in the US Open Cup semifinal, taking down CF Montréal in Canada, and now defeating Miami, the Crew have suddenly put together their best run of form in a long time.

And this one felt different.

The guys break down the 2-1 victory over Miami, the Crew's lineup and growing depth, the midfield performances from Santi Rodríguez and Brais Méndez, Anass' continued emergence, and how Columbus was able to exploit Miami's goalkeeping issues.

We also talk about the biggest question coming out of the match:

How can this team look so good now after everything we've watched earlier this season?

The Crew finally have some momentum.

The question now is whether they can keep it going.

WAIT… ARE WE ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO HAVE HOPE AGAIN?

Gabe and Matt celebrate another Columbus Crew victory as the Crew defeat CF Montréal 2-0 in Canada and suddenly find themselves giving fans something they haven't had much of this season: hope.

After everything that has happened, Gabe admits his brain is already starting to convince him that the Crew could somehow make the playoffs again. But should we actually believe it?

Matt and Gabe break down the Crew's lineup, the lack of chances from both teams, and the moments that ultimately allowed Columbus to take control.

They also dive into Mo Farsi's opening goal, the attacking lineup that Matt has been wanting to see, and what this recent run of results could mean for the Crew moving forward.

Is this just a nice little winning streak? Or is Columbus actually starting to look like a team capable of making a late push?

After spending so much of the season wondering what went wrong, maybe it's finally time to start asking what could go right.
