      Call me woefully pessimistic; a consequence of all the big signings for the NASL version of the United last year that missed the playoffs AND for being an Aston Villa supporter, but I agree with the assessment that we might win five games. We will need a lot of games early in the season to find our pace and identity and if any of our signings show to be a bust, we aren’t falling back to deep experience on the bench to tide us over to another season. It’s OK. There will be a lot of luster moving to MLS and building out a broader fan base. However, as you see at Aston Villa – it doesn’t take but a couple years before you see a confidence crisis at every level.
