I do. Thanks for catching it. Just … Mess up with the word/editing. As you can tell from the rest of the post, the change in the team is obvious. This team looks nothing like Spencer’s Timbers

Totally right. Thanks for catching that. Just a brain camp on my part.

Richard, I hope it was a typo in the first paragraph. We appear to be totally distinguishable from the squad of a year ago. Last year, we dashed up the wings or hoofed it up the center and hoped. So far, it’s a quick passing game that tries to control the center of the pitch.

Maybe the defense being a question mark (although I see improvement) is our carry-over trait from 2012.

“The team’s play is indistinguishable from last season.”
I’m really hoping you didn’t mean to say they will be the same!
