On reflection....

With our MLS season finally over with a record of 1-1-2, I think we can look back with a great deal of satisfaction. Considering we have been together 4 weeks and played the reigning champions, the champions of the 2 previous years, and a 3 time finalist I think we did more than hold our own and can look forward to the coming season with a great deal of optimism. I have seen a gradual improvement in the team and know there is a lot more to come as they get to know each other better, and gain more experience of playing at this level.

With the squad nearing completion Bobby (my assistant) and I are looking forward to developing a system of play that will be pleasing on the eye and, more importantly, produce attacking winning football.

I have been really pleased with some of our younger players who have at times excited the crowd and impressed their more experienced colleagues with their potential.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody that has attended our games, in weather that could have been kinder to us, for your terrific support, especially the guys in the bands who have made a great noise, something the players absolutely love.

Finally, I would like to congratulate all of our staff and interns at the Aztex office, and the volunteers in the Aztex Army, who without a great deal of experience at this level have adapted incredibly well in such a short period of time.

See you on Friday April 3rd at 7.30 pm for what should be an exciting game against the Puerto Rico Islanders as they prepare for their CONCACAF Champions League semi-final second leg game against Cruz Azul.
