first let me say grats to Spencer as Timbers' coach and i do believe he has the organization ability to make the timber a championship ball club. one quick point, the timbers are not a champion club yet. if you need to play with 10 players for the last 15-20 miniutes to protect your lead... fine, use your last sub for fresh legs coach. i know the timbers have some injury issues complicating the rotation. no doubt fucito will add an interesting presence. with nagbe, boyd, fucito, chara, thats one hell of a full-court press. threating speed with technical touch to boot....Yeaaaaaaah! i just hate seeing the guys giving chase while the opponents are one touching them to death(coach, maybe if you could settle them a bit more on thier half to help conserve thier strength). besides Brunner and Mosquera almost look like they could chew a chevy bumper in half and boyd would happily cheer them on. i do believe the timbers' ball-control will become greatly better as they mature together. great club coach Spencer and your cander is refreshing. keep up the wins even if your team does not have to score a goal themselves, man i luv this game!
