Josh Mlot - Home Stand, July 13th - July 23rd
For me, there was a sense very quickly — inside the first month of the season — that something was wrong. Not that results were just going the wrong way, but that something had taken a turn for the worse from a year ago. With that said, it's a long season and whatever's true one day is almost certainly untrue the next in MLS. I think when the gut feeling kicked in was in July. Yes, Crew SC was in the middle 10-game winless streak, but it was during those July games — a stretch of home games against beatable teams — that I just got a sense that this team wasn't going to snap out of it's already seemingly endless funk.
