FC Dallas went through a 90-minute practice session in preparation for this weekend's 4th of July match against the visiting New York Red Bulls (8 p.m. CT). As a warm-up, the field players weaved through cones and over small hurdles while the goalkeepers practiced reflex saves and footwork.The team then spent some time in a crossing / finishing drill before ending with a 9 v 9 scrimmage with Ray Burse in one goal, and Dario Sala and Josh Lambo taking turns in the other. For about 15 minutes following training, Blake Wagner and Jeff Cunningham practiced finishing crosses from Michael Dello-Russo.
Misc. Notes:
- Adam Hinshelwood, a 25-year-old English trialist, has joined the team for training and will be in for the remainder of the week. He has been with Brighton (England's League One) since 2000 and can play center back and right back.
- Alvaro "Tom" Sanchez jogged outside for the first time since suffering a right ankle injury against San Jose on June 7.
- Daniel Torres, Steve Purdy, and Marcelo Saragosa worked on running, volleying, and doing agility drills to recover from injuries suffered. The team will meet again on the practice field Wednesday at 9:30 a.m.

From Wikipedia on Hinshelwood:
"he had ruptured his ACL. Returning from this injury in the 2006/07 season, Hinshelwood even captained the Brighton side, becoming one of the youngest captains in club history. A second ACL surgery was followed by two more minor surgeries to repair surface damage"
That's not encouraging.
If we had signed him sight unseen, then yes, not encouraging. As a trialist, if he can play with his former skill, this could be a real steal.
He is damaged goods. If he could play he would still be in England. Schellas will probably start him !!!
7 Wins
12 Losses

clm1403 - C'mon FCD. We need three points bad. NY is a struggling team, time to take advantage. 3 POINTS. Just Win!! Do it for the fans!!!!!!!!!
No Kenny right, gold cup? Time to step up guys.
Everyone forget about the new guy for a sec and focus on the task at hand. He isn't going to win or lose us any games for now. Keep it positive.
I think they will step up. I'm so sure I even added Brek Shae to my fantasy team.
On a side note if we can't beat NYRB I think our season might as well be over.
great to hear Super Dario is getting some work in
-O.G.
who will be available for Saturday ?
There should be another injury report sometime this week
He is damaged goods. If he could play he would still be in England. Schellas will probably start him !!!
