VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 19 – Jay Chapman

Highest: 13 Lowest: 23 Average ranking: 18.09 Duncan: 18 – When thinking about the 2017 season, there are very few things that make me kind of sad. Jay Chapman is one of them.  There was such promise shown in 2016 when he finally got what few of TFC’s lauded academy projects get, consistent playing time. Here’s me in the 2016 season version of this gushing and getting ever so slightly optimistic that it might...

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 22 – Ashtone Morgan

Highest: 1 Lowest: 25 Average ranking: 20.86 Duncan: 23 – Ah Ashtone Morgan. I want him to play and do well and be good, I really do, and you’d think wingback in a 5-3-2 would be ideal for his strength (singular, it’s not defence particularly, and it wouldn’t be as a midfielder, but as the guy on the overlap throwing in a dangerous cross, he’s not bad at all) but really, it’s just not happening is...

South Couch Report: Toronto vs New York, 2nd leg.

The Part I Write Before The Match : South Couch again? Yeah, there are reasons, they should be overcomeable but for whatever reason, I seem to have lost the idea that going down to BMO Field rather than watching on tv is something that I HAVE to do. Shocking drop off in standards, or welcome sign of growing maturity? Who knows? Anyway, the game. The first leg, despite not being entertaining enough for Damien Cox, was a good...

South Couch Report: New York vs Toronto

The Part I Write Before The Match : Alright then, finally.  After a season of no particular challenge, no real drama, where no game really meant all that much, where a defeat would have led to a mere shrug, where the games often felt unimportant enough to not be worth the hassle of going down to BMO Field rather than watching on tv, finally we get a very important game as the playoffs are finally here. 69 points means TFC will be...
