In what was a surprisingly short month, we suffered our first defeat of the campaign. However, we started the month continuing our rich goal scoring form, banging five past Portland with an Ianni hat-trick. Then moving on to a potentially tough New York, we scored 3 more goals in yet another victory. Toronto proved to be a step too far for my boys, as we suffered a 2-0 loss in a really poor game of football. It was good to see Wondo and Johnson put the ball in the net often.

The strikers had been putting in the work, but it was at the back where I was more impressed. Patrick Ianni's hat-trick, and regular "brick wall" performances make him a top player.

Even though we suffered our first defeat, we still sat top of the western conference.

My stomach had dropped when I found out that the first three games of this month were away, but it's safe to say I was pretty confident at the end. Los Angles is never an easy place to go, but coming away with a clean sheet and 2 goals was a real boost for the rest of the month. Two more clean sheets followed against Colorado and Fc Dallas, winning 3-0 and 4-0 respectively. To have 3 away games in a row was tough, but to come away with maximum points, and not a single goal conceded made it all worth while. It was time to face Galaxy again, but this time on our own turf. They put up a good fight, and they left with 1 point, pulling it back to 2-2. In all due respect for Rochester, I was overly confident going into that game, and the final score proved that I should have been. I fielded a relatively young and inexperienced team, but we still came home with a win and 5 goals scored, Will Bates scoring a brace.

Wondolowski had bagged 6 goals in 3 games this month taking his goal tally to 16 already! He proved to be a good buy, and I was proud to have spotted his ability early on in my tenure as Seattle boss.

The impressive run of clean sheets left us sitting firmly on top.

The month saw us defeated for the second time since the start of the campaign, but had gotten off to the best possible start. I was feeling confident for both Colorado games in this month, and the first showed me why, 3-1 winners and a comfortable performance. Again, I knew Los Angles was going to be tough having drawn 2-2 previously, but despite them going ahead we took the advantage and came away 2-1 winners. Next was a trip for the Canadian side, as Montreal came to town, and had to face the journey back losing 2-0. The second Colorado game was upon us, but we managed to lose this one 2-1, even though we had won so comfortably earlier on. The Kansas city was nothing to shout about, so I won't dwell on it, but the Houston game saw a confident 3-0 victory with Noah Holden getting on the score sheet, leaving us a interesting game against New England.

There has been no real stand out player who has impressed me this month, but in terms of consistency, it'll have to go to Marvell Wynne. He hadn't had the easiest starts in Seattle, but this month of solid performances shows that he is on the up.

This month has been impressive, but has seen us drop down into 2nd position, with Real Salt Lake taking top spot.
