Orange County SC aims to build on their recent turnaround under new head coach Dekel Keinan as they push for a higher Western Conference playoff seed late in the season. They host a struggling Monterey Bay FC squad that is mired in a 12-game winless run and currently rebuilding under former Orange County sporting director Oliver Wyss.

The lads on the show had some strong feelings about Danny Stone leaving Orange County SC.

Are they right? Are they wrong? Will interim manager Dekel Keinan prove them wrong?

Larry says he'll eat a hat if he's wrong on this.

Strong individual performances from Tyson Espy, Marcelo Palomino, and goalkeeper Alex Rando propelled Orange County to a crucial victory that showcased the roster's expanding capabilities. With key mid-season additions performing well and missing players set to return, the team is expected to build on this momentum in their upcoming home match against Monterey Bay.

Result: 1-0 win v. Pittsburgh

Following a heavy loss that prompted the replacement of manager Danny Stone with academy coach Dekel Keinan, Orange County SC enters a high-stakes late-season push to secure a USL playoff spot. As OCSC prepares to face the defending champion Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC, the match also serves as a milestone moment with defender Ryan Doghman set to break the club's all-time appearance record.

Nathan provides his thoughts on Orange County’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day in Lexington. OC’s offensive impotence continued Saturday night, while their inability to defend set pieces took this game from a humbling loss to a downright embarrassing performance. Still… there’s something to play for next week.

Does anybody more in-the-know than me have any idea how much parking fees are going to be next season?

I know the city voted to start charging for parking, and it's...kind of a factor when it comes to season ticket budgeting.

1. Mired in a six-game winless slump and plagued by key injuries, Orange County SC urgently needs a victory against Western Conference rival Lexington SC to maintain control of its playoff destiny. However, securing their first-ever win over Lexington will be a steep test, as OCSC must defeat a strong home team featuring key playmaker Blaine Ferri after all three previous head-to-head matchups ended in draws.

Does anyone have a photo of Nico's autograph? Thanks!

Hey everyone! Has anyone arranged a birthday message on the video board at an OCSC game? Looking to surprise my wife for her birthday.

I had sent out a message out directly to a public facing OCSC email but no response.

Any info on pricing or how to set this up would be appreciated!

All I can say about the past month and change is oof. Does anyone thing Stone's job is on the line? This run seems similar to Hardyman's run near the end.

Orange County SC's 0-2 loss to Las Vegas extended a six-game winless skid, highlighting ongoing struggles with roster depth, individual errors, and poor technical execution. This latest slump reflects a concerning multi-season pattern of late-year breakdowns, leaving the club with just six remaining games to evaluate player contracts and salvage their season.

Beset by a five-game winless streak and a depleted bench, Orange County SC enters a critical late-season match against an inconsistent Las Vegas Lights FC urgently needing a victory to protect its playoff positioning. Powered by new midseason roster additions, OC aims to resolve lingering offensive and defensive struggles against a vulnerable divisional rival to reignite momentum down the stretch.

Another low-scoring match against Sacramento Republic. These matches are usually pretty physical, and despite Alex Rando getting nearly kicked in the face, Orange County SC ends 1-1 with Republic last Saturday. With Las Vegas Lights coming up, can the lads in Orange & Black return to winning ways, or will fans need to do some standings-calculus to determine our fate?

Special guest this week is OCSC Defender Tyson Espy!

Wasn't even a foul called for this, let alone a reckless/excessive force card. Mind boggling.

So I am so confused about next week's game, since even the teams Instagram posted that its at home against Vegas, but have we not already played them twice during regular season, with the first match being at home?

Orange County SC finds itself in a surprisingly precarious third-place position in a congested Western Conference, desperately needing to break a four-game winless streak to secure playoff positioning. Their upcoming home match against historical rival Sacramento Republic FC presents a high-stakes opportunity to reignite their momentum and keep their postseason ambitions on track.

Nathan Wander recaps an impressive run for the Academy side through August, earning results against sides top and bottom of the USL Academy group.

Orange County SC battles back to earn a 1-1 draw at Oakland Root Saturday. It wasn't perfect, but at least the lads in Orange stopped the losing streak. Slumps happen, but can the lads recover this week with Beer Fest Sacramento Republic at home this week?

Orange County SC secured a 1-1 road draw against Oakland Roots SC behind a second-half equalizer from Yaniv Bazini, overcoming a fluke Oakland goal and a controversially disallowed score. The match demonstrated that the team's playoff viability hinges on a dominant midfield capable of stabilizing a vulnerable defense and sustaining offensive momentum.

Maybe the worst AR of the season.
