I'm not fully sincere here but let me just throw out a little positivity.
In 2015 after 9 games, we had 10 points, fans were calling for the manager's head and ready to throw in the towel.
Then, the team began to put it together, claw out some wins and eventually hoisted the cup.
Fast forward to 2026. After 9 games, we have 10 points, fans are calling for the manager's head and are ready to throw in the towel. Now all we need to do is hoist the cup.
I'm not saying we are likely to turn this ship completely around, but there is room to hope.
Unlike the last couple years, I actually feel there is something positive to say at every position. There is room for growth but I do think we will grow as this season goes on. Our central midfield has had very little time to gel but chemistry comes with time. Our back 4 looks more stout every game and our front 3 are looking more dangerous every outing. This team is raw still but once refined, can be very dangerous.
I know this sub isn't dominated by positivity, but I just wanted to throw some out today. Go timbers!
