Chris Albright Quotations

We're still fighting for home-field advantage in the first round of against Dallas. Even if we could catch first place we've still got to wrap up second, so it doesn't make much of a difference.

When you come back from injuries like this the actual injury is fine - it's just nagging soreness coming back. I'm feeling good and close to 100 percent. If we feel that I'm ready, I'm going to go and give as much as I can. Hopefully that's the case.

I can think of maybe one and a half good chances we had tonight. I think that Kevin (Hartman) came up big to keep us in it. But it just wasn't good enough.

He was letting balls go through his hands all night, and he makes the save on a couple of headers. You've just got to take your hat off to him.

We have to take care of the games against Dallas. These games against Dallas are going to be big swings.

With all due respect to Columbus, I think everyone around the league coming into this game said Columbus didn't have a shot. And I think that's what we felt coming in too. Maybe we were a little complacent.

We just got sloppy I thought, myself included. We were technically sloppy all over the field. Possessions where we had a chance to go forward we gave to them and lost out on opportunities.

I've learned to shy away from speculation and just go out on the field and do what I can do. The rest is out of my control. You'll drive yourself crazy speculating.

Saragosa brings a level of bite to the midfield. He's got athletic moves, has heart and works hard.

Once you get up on the road, I think it built our confidence, ... We got two goals off dead balls, which is something we have been kind of stressing all year. Coming in here, we normally don't get any points. So a point for us at this stage is OK. The way the game went is a bit disappointing, but we'll take it.

It's good to get back on track versus a tough team.

It's good to get back on track. Especially against what I think is always a tough team.

In the first place, we have to stop giving up so many fouls. But we have to be tougher on our marking. We can't be pushed around, we have to get that first punch in and we have to grab and hold. If they call a penalty so be it, but we have stop giving up goals on free kicks.

I know I touched him. I don't think I fouled him.
