Look, kids! Big Ben!  Parliament!

"Look, kids! Big Ben! Parliament!" in which I review post-match quotes from DCU's coach on a monthly basis, from March 2013 to March 2014, and notice something funny weird terrifying.

March 2013 (DCU 1, CLB 2):

"We just weren’t good enough on the ball, again. We’ll work on it. We’ve got two weeks to work on things. I’ll take the blame for that game, 100%. We’ve got two weeks now for me to whip this team into shape. I’ll make sure we get back to basics."

April 2013 (DCU 0, NYRB 2):

"We’re easy to play against from a defensive side and an offensive side. We’re not dynamic enough. We’re pretty predictable in the way we go about things. That’s who we are right now. We have to stay together and dig our way out of it."

May 2013 (CLB 3, DCU 0):

"Everybody’s got to dig a little deeper and try to claw out of this."

June 2013 (NE 0, DCU 0):

"It’s my first time really dealing with a little bit of a downward spiral…When you’re in this position, you're looking for baby steps and this is, again, something that maybe we can build off of."

July 2013 (DCU 1, Chivas de Guadalajara 1):

"But the good thing is we have a talented core group and we’re continuing to build it."

July 2013 (CHI 4, DCU 1):

"We will continue to regroup, and continue to try and get better."

August 2013 (DCU 1, TOR 1):

"We probably should have had a couple more goals."

September 2013 (NE 2, DCU 1):

"What do you want me to say? We had stretches (in the first half.) We had chances. We were going up against too much today."

October 2013 (SKC 1, DCU 0):

"But, again, hopefully we can learn some of the lessons that we’ve been given this year and fix them for next year."

March 2014 (DCU 0, CLB 3):

"I thought we would be in better shape than we were today, but we have two weeks to get back to work. I know we can still strike at any time. I think that we were just a little bit off in some of the final things that really mattered tonight."
