The season has barely begun, yet I sense the fanbase are fidgeting in their seats waiting for 'that moment' when the pieces fall into place and the smooth-running, well-oiled machine that is DCFC will kick into gear and begin its mission of punishing the opposition as we know they can.
Will today be the day? A win-less Cottagers won't be easy prey, they'll want to break that duck sharpish. Let's hope it's not against our good selves. We've kept the basis of what made us great together, but there's no denying the underlying anxiety: Can we re-create the magic of last season? then there's the persistence of playing Will in the holding role. I personally think he needs to be further forward where his creativity and spraying of the ball can do the most damage. What will Steve do today? My breath, as ever, is bated. Let's at them today lads.
On a positive note, young Santos converted a penalty the other day to garner a draw against Arsenal U21's.
So...when will we 'click'?

Finaly I get to go to a game. The 'fidgetness' is palpable though and Mojaca, yes, we're still waiting to 'click'.
I cannot understand the Eustace dilemma unless McClaren thinks that with a player in his twilight years, he HAS to have a very viable alternative as shown by viewing Hughes in that role - is it working?
Are we more advantaged in playing Hughes in that position and not in his more favoured forward role without Eustace...
OR
Is it better to play a solid pro like Eustace - with any accompanying risks - with Hughes in his natural place?

Or, where the feck is the match thread.

that's you told View!
I'd play Eustace myself, and have Hughes where he should be, but:
a) What do I know, and:
b) In Mac we trust.
Ang: agree re the support/mobiles...it happens at gigs too, drives me mental!

It's a modern phenomenon, Moj.
Because of all the screen watching we do these days, people have become less vocal & interactive.
