Thought Gbandi mismanaged this one a little bit. He made a few defensive subs when we were down a man (and up a goal) that sort of took away our ability to relieve pressure and transition to offense. Thought that was fine when we were down a man, but he basically left the tactics exactly the same after Harvard received a red as well. Harvard had been generating a lot of pressure prior to their red and that momentum continued until they ended up getting an equalizer.
We were borderline dominating the game at even strength in the first half, so I really would have liked to see him being a little proactive when it went down to 10v10 instead of waiting until they capitalized on their momentum.

Had the cross connected at 89:42, we could have pulled one out of our collective rumps.
Very close indeed.

So I see the team hasn't lost. I don't keep well enough anymore, are they actually good or have they just not played anybody good yet? Just wondering if I need to temper expectations or not. Used to go to every home game when I was at UConn, but much has changed.

Depends on your perspective I guess. In the United Soccer Coaches poll from 9/14, they got 6 votes, which is a positive sign. They should finish in the top half of the conference and get the opportunity to make some postseason noise, but the schedule is going to be significantly harder from here on out.
The only good win they've had was the first game away at Syracuse, but tying (at the time) #8 UMass at home and tying Harvard who was just coming off wins vs Providence and Cal aren't bad results. They'll need to prove they can stack some W's and not just be hard to play against, but seems like the best team of the Gbandi era to me at least.
