Here is some more info on him:
Darryl Roberts was selected by the MLS expansion team, Toronto FC. Darryl another three year player for the Dynamo started 33 of the 34 matches he appeared in and scored 23 goals while assisting on another 25. In his
first season with the Dynamo in 04, Roberts scored five goals in five games before being called up to the Trinidad National Team.
It's taken from the team's [url="http://www.carolinadynamo.com/archives2007.htm"]news archive[/url]. I believe the 33/23 is in regard of 2006 season.

Thanks for searching!
Do you know if cupgames are included in those stats?

Bingo! I figured it out (mostly)! It turns out USL are good at stats, even [url="http://www.uslsoccer.com/teams/2006/22307.html"]online[/url] stats. Here's the breakdown for Darryl:
2005: 15/7
2006: 12/10
I believe this is league games only but it might include a play-off game for 2006 season. Then, the 33/23 is all the games he ever played for the team. Then, by simple math 2004 is 6/5. This, however, conflicts with the 5/5 in the article but then the artice does not make it clear if he played any more games after he was called up for national games. So, 6/5 might be the real number. Again, there might be play-off games in there for 2004 as the Dynamos played 3 such games.
In any case, if anyone knows better, please correct me....
Edit: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darryl_Roberts"]Wikipedia[/url] agrees with me on 2005-2006 and confirms it's league only.
And here is an article about his [url="http://www.libertyflames.com/index.cfm?PID=10872&RosterID=264&TeamID=11"]university soccer carreer[/url]

Thanks a lot again!
However, he played 34 games, started 33, 1 as a substitute. So i guess 2004 has to be 7/5.
Added the info.

USL is terrible at stats - they have them, yes, they're not always correct.

those are correct. He probably played in a cup game or two. Carolina Dynamo counts all games (many USL teams do) towards each player's history.
