Who Should Detroit City FC Bring Back After the Hartford Loss? | Make City Make Spence Kobe Hernandez-Foster saw red in the 19th minute. By the final whistle, Sean Spence was already thinking about how to keep him in Detroit. Adam Hernandez and Sean revisit Detroit City FC’s 2–1 playoff loss to Hartford Athletic at Keyworth. Adam describes the incident from his seat near the Hartford players. Sean explains what City lost in midfield without Kobe, even as ten-man Detroit kept creating chances right up to Cheikh Niang’s late miss.

Then Sean opens his roster spreadsheet. Who’s signed for 2027? Whose option should City pick up? From captain Devon Amoo-Mensah and keeper Carlos Herrera to Haruki Yamazaki and leading scorer Darren Smith, Adam and Sean weigh who they’d bring back and why. They also discuss what a new stadium might mean for professional women’s soccer in Detroit before closing with Phoebe Bridgers and a little throwback metalcore.

“Prepare and play like 46.” Garret Komatz opens the November 6 Quickcast with Kelvin Sheppard’s message to the Lions after Jack Campbell’s injury. Garret shares Campbell’s recovery update, explains why Brian Branch’s return matters for Sunday’s game in Miami, and puts the focus where Campbell’s family did: on his progress beyond football.

The Pistons beat Charlotte by 33, then saw their comeback fall short against Philadelphia. Garret looks at their 6–2 start and the upcoming Lakers and Wizards games as Jalen Duren awaits another evaluation. On the ice, Moritz Seider takes issue with another late lead slipping away against Vegas. Garret closes with two different clocks in Detroit: the Red Wings are willing to wait for the right Dylan Larkin trade, while Simon Edvinsson faces a December 1 signing deadline.

Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese pulled up to her alma mater to take in the LSU game.
Good evening, America. We’re still in the Tunnel waiting on Schoolcraft County to send the votes by sled dog. Unfortunately, we already have a final from Keyworth: Hartford 2, Detroit City FC 1. We showed up in black without coordinating. The pot roast needed a cup of red wine. We needed the rest.

With our usual rules expert unavailable, we turn to the highest authority on the call: somebody who’s reffed second-grade soccer. Was Kobe Hernandez-Foster’s red deserved? Why did City wait so long for fresh legs? And before we give Cheikh Niang too much shit for missing from a yard out, one of us has a confession about missing from even closer at the same damn goal.

Then we pick next year’s roster with all the authority the front office has granted us: none. Who stays, who gets Darren Smith some help, and who brings Carlos Herrera back? Shout-outs to Wayne State women’s soccer, everybody who voted, and everybody who still loves this dumbass team. Us included.

00:00 Election Night at Channel 4:51. Send the sled dogs.
02:30 A mug of tears, a pot roast, and two tablespoons of wine for the empanadas
05:29 Kobe Hernandez-Foster sees red. Ask the second-grade ref.
12:06 Dennis joins with the view from a Chicago taco spot
18:35 Ten men, plenty of chances. How did City lose to Hartford?
20:49 Cheikh Niang’s miss and a confession from the same goal at Keyworth
25:51 Who was supposed to help Darren Smith score goals?
29:23 Alex Dalou earns his start. Why did the subs come so late?
33:34 Did Danny Dichio have City ready for Hartford?
37:57 The Hartford curse and the man who used to babysit the supporters
40:20 How City gave up both goals
44:01 Our predictions were wrong. Let’s pick next year’s roster.
51:19 Who should City bring back? Carlos Herrera, the captain, and more
59:11 Election shout-outs and Dennis finally gets to hear his name live
1:03:16 Wayne State women’s soccer deserves some love
1:06:52 Final shout-outs and sign-off

In this episode of Make City Make Spence, Sean and Adam discuss Detroit City FC getting bounced in the first round of the USL Championship Playoffs.
The Lions beat Minnesota, but concern for Jack Campbell overshadows the celebration. Garret Komatz and Adam Hernandez discuss Detroit’s 19–15 victory, the growing injury list, and why Brad Holmes needs to prioritize defensive help before the trade deadline.

For the Red Wings, the conversation turns to Dylan Larkin’s trade standoff, Moritz Seider’s leadership, and whether the locker room benefits from moving forward without Larkin. Plus, trade discussion involving Simon Edvinsson and reactions to Detroit’s new jersey.

Detroit City FC’s season ends against Hartford Athletic. The hosts debate Kobe Hernandez-Foster’s red card, revisit the sideline incident Adam witnessed, and discuss Cheikh Niang’s missed chance.

The Lions beat Minnesota 19–15, but injuries complicate a divisional win. Detroit City FC’s season ends against Hartford with a red card, missed chances, and questions about the offseason.

Adam Hernandez breaks down Jahmyr Gibbs and Sione Vaki’s rushing performances, Dan Campbell’s aggressive approach, and Detroit’s defensive progress. He addresses the frightening Jack Campbell injury and argues Brad Holmes needs to strengthen the defense before the trade deadline.

Then, Adam examines Kobe Hernández-Foster’s dismissal, the sideline controversy, and Cheikhou Niang’s missed opportunity in City’s playoff defeat. He questions whether DCFC’s attack gives its defense enough support and considers Danny Dichio’s role, roster decisions, and preparations for the club’s new stadium and potential move into USL’s top division.

#ThePostGame #DetroitLions #DetroitCityFC #DetroitSports #DCTID
In this episode of The Post Game, Adam unpacks the Detroit Lions handing the Minnesota Vikings their first loss of the season and Detroit City FC getting bounced in the first round of the USL Championship playoffs by the Hartford Athletic thanks in part to a controversial red card Saturday night.
Hartford Athletic players who weren’t playing in last night’s game against Detroit City FC were ejected by the referee after an altercation with DCFC’s Kobe Hernandez-Foster in the first half. However, it ended up taking around 20 minutes for them to leave the pitch.
